Stasi was our server and was great. She was very kind and accommodating to our kids. Super friendly and helpful! Thank you Stasi!

This place has fast service, an excellent menu, and real breakfast. The potatoes are top notch as well as the pancakes. The skillet bowls are also incredible as well as the fresh juice options. Reasonably priced as well. Stasi in an excellent waitress and delivers everytime. Don’t hesitate to try this spot! It will become a regular

My son and I had breakfast at Sweet Cafe and loved the experience! Delicious food, nicely presented, and very friendly, welcoming staff. The skillet and pancakes were highlights. The bright, modern interior, large windows, outdoor seating, and coffee bar make it a lovely spot for breakfast.One small suggestion I shared with the staff: portions are very generous, especially the skillet. Offering half portions or letting guests know which dishes are suitable for sharing could help reduce leftovers and waste. Overall, a wonderful visit—five stars, and we’d happily return!

Ordered my food and not even 5 minutes it was already served. Kailyn was my server and she is great! I am new in the place and asked her for recommendations and got the meat lovers skillet. It’s so good and amazing! Will definitely comeback.Their orange juice is so fresh and divine!

Kailyn was great and so kind!

Stasi was an amazing waitress!!

Came in with two coworkers to catch up over brunch the other day and GABBY was amazing! She let us hang out until close, never stopped checking on us and was so incredibly sweet the whole time. Thank you for making our reunion that much more enjoyable!!

The service is great - from hosts to servers and the staff who help deliver food and drinks. They have a variety of options for breakfast and lunch on the menu, which is great when you have people with different preferences. Love their veggie panini with balsamic aioli. Friendly family.

This was my first time at this restaurant. My girlfriend picked it out since they have gluten free options. The food was amazing. The gf pancakes tasted just like real pancakes. The ham on the bone was delicious. I was curious about the chive biscuit. It was divine. The fruit tasted fresh to the point of perfect ripeness. It’s was amazing food all the way around. The atmosphere was bright and cheery. Stasi our waitress was amazing. She was extremely helpful with our questions and was there within moments after a new request. She is very nice and knowledgeable. What really made a huge impact is after we received our check we didn’t seem abandoned like most places do. She was the proverbial icing on the cake.Oh and the pumpkin pancakes had like a sweet icing you see on a cinnamon roll.Divine as well.

Best gluten free pancakes I’ve EVER had! Stasi was amazing! Personable, friendly, top notch service. Would definitely go back next time I’m on town!

My family and I love Sweet Cafe, we go often for the generous portions and comfortable vibe.

Staci was a great server, and the food here is always great!

Her stunning smile is radiant, and she never fails to greet my guest and me every time we go to Sweet Cafe. She possesses a European charm and grace that captivates and makes us feel like special guests while making sure everything from the kitchen arrives just as requested. Sylwia also has a terrific sense of humor, and I always enjoy making her laugh. She is magnificent!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. Plus, her attention to detail is exacting. 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!

Lianna was the sweetest. The food was amazing 🙂

Lianna was our server and she was so sweet!

This restaurant is a 10/10. We come here for various reasons. The food is excellent. Portions are generous and parking is available. What keeps up coming back is the outstanding and consistent service. Today we went and Stasi took care of us. She truly blew our minds with their customer service and attention to detail. We had a greet experience overall. Kudos to management for running a superior restaurant in Chicago.

We came to celebrate my daughter’s birthday and it was great!Stasi was our server and she was amazing, friendly, patient and took great care of us.Definitely our favorite place and server!

Portion was huge and tasty. Truly an American breakfast!

We've been coming here for breakfast almost from their opening in 2024. Best place around! Consistent and great food options. Attentive service and a comfortable atmosphere. Two thumbs up and a shout out to our server today, Stasi, and to ALL the wait staff that made our visit so pleasant.

Our waitress, Stasi, was a great host. So friendly and welcoming. She did a great job accommodating our party. Our kids loved her.

Came 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!

Had such a fun morning with my 2 littles, food was excellent and our server Anastasia is a perfect fellow Greek! Coffee is great as well

Food is nice price and definitely get your money worth. Definitely worth another visit

Delicious food and great service! Kailyn was wonderful and attentive, especially to my mother and grandmother who asked questions about the food and recommendations 🙂

Stasi was great! Food is always excellent. It is loud inside but outside was nice. Always enjoy it here!

Stasi was fantastic! She answered questions, made us feel welcome, checked in and was just lovely!

Excellent experience with Lianna!!!

Stasi was FANTASTIC!! She is so personable and attentive!!!

This cute little breakfast spot was a 5min walk from our airbnb, and it was honestly a hidden gem! Food was fresh, and hot and was delicious and everyone was friendly and smiled at us. You could tell they really enjoy working there! Customer service was phenomenal! My boyfriend and I were visiting from out of town and we ordered steak & eggs and chicken and waffles. Portions were big and we definitely didn't leave hungry! As a matter of fact, we left in a food coma and ended up having to take a nap afterwards! If you are ever in town or nearby, I highly recommend trying this place out!!

Lianna was the best! Great services ☺️

Service was great! Liana took care of everyone flawlessly. And I never had to ask for a refill! 10/10 Would come again!

Generally a bit loud, but the food makes up for it. Potatoes are the winners. You're not going to be let down here. More expensive than you'd expect just so you're aware

Large staff so you never have to wait long. Manager is AWESOME! He is constantly moving to make sure your cup is full and everything is ok.

Generous portions, clean restaurant, and great service!

Hands down best breakfast spot in all of Chicago.

The food is visually stunning and was amazing. Sarah made our experience eating here especially exceptional!

Amazing and delicious foods. Juice drinks are fresh also. staff are very welcoming and the place is nice. Highly recommend.

The crepes were delicious, Sarah did a great job as our server, and our table area was clean & comfortable. It was a busy, noisy time of day, but we could still carry a conversation. Party of 4, first time there, from the neighborhood. 👍

Fresh juices, satisfying portions, and fabulous atmosphere. You’re greeted with a friendly faces and the manager, Taki, goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing food, and excellent service. Food is super high quality and it has many options for a variety of palates and dietary needs. Great for brunch with friends, dates, and families. The creme brulee french toast is beyond good. A must try!
