Cathy E. 8/18/2026Came in for brunch with my family including my rambunctious son and nephew. Staci was our server and she was nothing short of amazing! My family can be a bit needy. Extra creamer, extra raw sugar, extra sauce, etc. We always order a ton of food and always need boxes and small sauce containers. Staci did everything with a smile! Checked in on us at the perfect time abd I noticed she was consistent with the other tables she had. She was a pleasure!read moreread less
Glenn J. 8/17/2026*Update: 8/17/26Hands down the BEST breakfast dining spot in the Chicago area!The restaurant itself is spotless and beautifully decorated with a stunning greenhouse section that is comfortable, open and airy.The breakfast (eggs Benedict is spectacular!) and lunch selections are wonderfully prepared with the finest, freshest ingredients that set craving into high gear.The staff is cordial, professional and extremely attentive. They operate like a well-oiled machine with a touch of flair. I love them all!*As I get to know the servers the more times I frequent Sweet Cafe (which is a weekly visit!), I think it important to acknowledge the phenomenal servers by name and the wonderful attention they provide.Server Stasi was just wonderful on the day I arrived with my guest to celebrate my birthday breakfast. This was the first time she waited on us, and her impact was truly heartfelt. She was extraordinary and attentive and a joy to behold! Stasi checked up on us frequently to make sure were had everything we needed, and her customer service is superb. A great asset to the restaurant!Server Sarah (Miss Prada!) waited on us many times, and each time she brings such warmth and kindness that my guest and I always feel right home. Sarah never hesitates to come by to say "hi!" even when she is not waiting on us. This means a great deal. She truly cares about her guests, and it shows beautifully! Sarah is extraordinary, and is a terrific ambassador for the restaurant!Please go to Sweet Cafe! You will become a devoted customer. Count on it!read moreread less
