5800 North Cafe

Clean and beautifully decorated with a coffee bar. The bathrooms are clean. Service is quick and friendly. The food was excellent! Very flavorful! I’m hard to impress and extremely picky when it comes to restaurants. This place exceeded expectations and I will definitely be coming back!

Had an amazing breakfast at 5800 North Café! The moment we walked in, the vibe was clean, modern, and inviting—every detail in the decor made it feel fresh and relaxing. The food? Absolutely delicious. We ordered skillets, pancakes, and eggs—everything was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors hit just right. That skillet was packed with flavor and the pancakes were fluffy and perfectly golden with a light dusting of powdered sugar. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. And the owner? So kind and welcoming—genuinely cared about our experience. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for great service, cozy atmosphere, and amazing food. We’ll definitely be back!

I came here with my partner and Sandy was our waitress. This was our first time trying this place since it just popped up in the neighborhood. I had the strawberry banana crepes and my partner had the pancakes, eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns. The food was PHENOMENAL, especially the crepes! The eggs were fluffy and the sausage is amazing! The decor and presentation is SO CUTE! Plus, Sandy was super friendly and gave us some more recommendations for nature preserves to explore. 10/10!!

Had a fantastic lunch here today. We got the fried chicken sandwich and the steak sandwich and both were delicious and super fresh. Also had a great latte and yummy banana smoothie. They seem very kid friendly as well. I had my baby and I was able to bring in the stroller with no issues. The restaurant itself is gorgeous and spacious inside. So glad for this addition to the neighborhood!

5800 N Cafe is a lovely addition to the neighborhood. The ambiance and decor is so inviting. Fresh, clean and bright. The menu has something for everyone. We had the breakfast burrito and breakfast panini. Both were delicious! The service was also top notch. Very friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely be back!

We were so excited to finally try this place! They opened a couple months ago and they’re a perfect addition to the neighborhood! Great food for a good price. 💥 We got the Berry Mascarpone French Toast & Barbacoa Chilaquiles Skillet and both were amazing! 🤤 And the portions?! 😱 We were so stuffed and had enough for leftovers the next day. It’s a spacious room with quick service! To top it off, they serve Intelligentsia coffee so the lattes tasted great! ☕️ What’s funny is, we went a couple weeks ago and then took some family the week after and now I want to go again!

I thought, could a place be this new, trendy and cute and still be delicious? Turns out it can!! Everything we tried was delicious. Made my husbands meal just as requested and my crepes were to die for! We don’t live close but will be golfing nearby again just to come here! Really cute place with GREAT service! Definitely worth a try!

JULIAN IS THE BEST SERVER IVE EVER HAD!!! I am from atlanta and he proved that Chi town outdoes us in customer service one hundred fold. He recommended the perfect things and anticipated our needs. I am grateful for how he cared about us and the food was DELICIOUS AND CAME OUT FAST! Will visit here and ask for Julian every time I come back!!

The service at this place was amazing! If you come here I suggest getting the steak and eggs and you get a lot for the price compared to other breakfast restaurants!

We came on a Saturday morning around 10am. There was no wait and we were sat immediately. Our server, Jennifer I believe her name was, was very warm, kind, and attentive. I ordered the Breakfast Panini and it was delicious. I would welcome some greens added to it though! The only downside was that is was a bit messy to eat since it was loaded with so much deliciousness. My husband ordered the Steak & Eggs and was delighted that it wasn't the thin kind of steak that is typically served in this dish. My kids ordered the 1 egg meal (kid's menu) and the Cinnamon Roll pancake (regular menu). They both left full and happy (not too common of an experience for us haha). We all really enjoyed our food AND the freshly squeezed OJ was incredible. Aside from the food and service being outstanding, the vibe was also impeccable! It's very bright and cheery without being overwhelming. It's just also very clean and crisp. Me and my 10 year old daughter spent a good 5 minutes discussing how clean the bathroom was and how "it doesn't feel like a public restroom." You can tell there is a lot of heart behind this place. Highly recommend!

We've been wanting to try this place for awhile. We finally had the time and are happy we did! We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table because it was super busy. Once seated we got our water right away. Our waitress signaled to us that she'd be right over. It was over 5 minutes before she came to the table. We ordered right away. It was probably another 20-25 minutes before our food came. Our food did not disappoint. I had the veggie omelette and it had fresh veggies and was very good! My husband ordered the meat lovers skillet and the portions were so large he couldn't finish- which doesn't happen often. One thing disappointing is that he had toast that came with the skillet. Our waitress said she would get it, however she forgot. He was done eating before she came back to our table and when we reminded her she apologized and went to get the toast. Overall good food and I'll definitely give it another try!

Vibrant new Breakfast spot. Service was wonderful (staff is familiar as they moved over from a different breakfast spot.) Food was delicious and menu is good with a few things I haven't seen before. Expect to wait for a table at busy times. My family will be back.

I came to this cafe for breakfast with my boyfriend. It was our first time going and I loved the interior! It was such a perfect place for a rainy day. I ordered a strawberry smoothie, which our waitress Sandy said was delicious. She definitely did not lie! I would return just to drink it again. Our French toast and sides were great as well. The service was phenomenal, I will definitely come back. Shout out to our waitress Sandy!

I was really pleased with our breakfast from 5800 North last weekend. I ordered over the phone to pick up and it came up just before I got there. We ordered a skillet, omelet, kids' pancakes (I upgraded to the berry mascarpone ones for an extra $2) and because I was curious got the cinnamon role pancakes even though I knew we wouldn't be able to eat much of them. The omelet was really good. It wasn't all that much different from any other omelet but I appreciated that they had a create your own option (which a lot of places don't, surprisingly) so I could get what I wanted without having to delete or add something from an existing item and hoping they got it right. Thanks! My little one was THRILLED with her pancakes. When I got home and put the bag down she came over and saw them and immediately pulled them out of the bag, and got pretty upset when I pulled them away from her to get her seated. But when she finally got to eat them she gobbled them up, going straight for the fruit. I tasted the mascarpone and it was quite good; I'd consider ordering this dish for myself in the future. And this was a huge item, to the extent that I wondered if they took the order wrong and gave us the regular "adult" portion (but they were smaller silver-dollar pancakes so I think it's just big). The cinnamon roll pancake was as I suspected far too much but we had to give it a taste. It wasn't bad. They make it with something like the frosting from a cinnamon roll (maybe that's exactly what it is) and dusted with cinnamon. It wasn't bad, but I'm not sure it's my thing. Points for creativity and originality! The restaurant is very bright, sparkling, and spacious--you don't feel like you're elbow to elbow with the next table, thankfully. There's even a small parking lot down the block. There's some street parking and it's even directly across from a Pace station (we're in Edison Park, so Pace buses run up here). The first time I visited it wasn't overrun with patrons and there was no wait when I stopped in on Sunday around 11, so I'd be interested to eat in sometime. The second time I visited was to pick up breakfast for Mother's Day, and I ate less than half my omelet because I kept finding eggshells in it. Gross and makes me sick to my stomach, so that was a major miss. I'll be back... probably.

Went here on a Sunday for breakfast around 10am. They were very busy but there is a church around the corner that must have just let out. We had to wait about 5-10 mins for a table for 3. There is a parking lot there and street parking around the area as well. The servers definitely were hustling covering a lot of tables. Server took our order right away and we didn't see her again until they brought our food. She did come by once to refill water but other than that it was not very attentive. The food itself was good. I enjoyed my chicken and biscuits which came with 2 eggs and hashbrowns. The other two people I was with also enjoyed their meal. Portion sizes were generous and we all left feeling very full.

This place is right by where I live, and I honestly don't know how I overlooked it for so long! It actually opened just a few months ago, but somehow I missed it until recently. I went last weekend with a friend for brunch, When we walked in, there was a bit of a wait about 15 minutes which I didn't expect at all. I ordered the Lox Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious with fresh lox, and the flavors were spot on. I also tried the berry crêpes, and wow... the portion was huge and they were packed with flavor. Sweet, fresh, and not overly heavy. My friend got one of the skillets and she loved it. Service was good but I do think there is room for improvement. The owner did come by to check in on us, which I really appreciated. They also have their own parking, which is a huge plus. Overall, it's a hidden gem in the neighborhood and I'm really glad I finally tried it. Good luck

Charming place with the much anticipated opening of this place. This bright cafe with is pretty big with both booths and tables serving both classic and unique food that all can love. The space itself is very modern and updated since it's new. Our meal was far from perfect with would have boasted this review maybe to five stars but all new places take time to work out the kinks. We were seated immediately no reservations, very casual breakfast and lunch spot. The food quality is excellent. I had the corned beef and hash and they make it in house. The upgraded to a signature option for the pancakes and got the cinnamon roll and it was divine the hubs got a bacon and avocado omelette with regular pancakes. My husband's pancakes came out cold which bummed him out. Another issue we had was getting the server to come to us after our food was delivered because we were lacking syrup, ketchup, hot sauces (maybe just keep it on the table). It took her nine minutes from the time our food was dropped to come over to us. Also the silverware only comes with a knife and fork but no spoon to stir the coffee. We got to meet the wonderful Al and he made things right and we intend to try this place again soon and hopefully things will go much smoother next time.

Busy busy place. Seated in about 10 mins. Restaurant itself is super cute and clean and bright. Music is great. Servers are friendly. Shoutout to Julian for being such a great server. Plenty of food to choose from and all food that was ordered were delicious. I was able to sub my pancakes for a specialty pancake for an additional charge. Overall, price for three people for food and drinks was pretty standard compared to other brunch places. Would come back.

Very nice space, the photos don't do it justice. Pro service, good coffee and everything is new at this point. Recommend the veggie omelette. This place and Sweet Cafe are two newcomers giving Elly's a run for their money.

You need to go here! A plethora of wonderful things about this place ---where do I start -- OH --THE FOOD--AWESOME! BEST breakfast ever! So far tried fluffy, generous omelettes, Benedict's, stuffed french toast!! YUM! My picky uncle (the breakfast connoisseur) comes from Des Plaines to eat here. Said they have the best Benedicts he ever had. Also the Acai and mango ssmoothies and the white chocolate latte I had yesterday --soooo good! The decor is adorable and inviting - some tables can fit huge families, clean, modern bathrooms and friendly service! Love the music! Been there many times ----the owner stops by to check on customers - love it! Now go and ENJOY! :)

Waitress fell the day before and had a bruise on her face but her smile made my heart melt.

Very new place, and is so clean. I've read the reviews that talked about bad service and cold food. Fortunately, we didn't have that. Granted; we were one of only 4 tables occupied. 5 in our group, all ordered different things. Coffee was good, not great, but good. Food was delicious. I ordered a lox plate. Bagel was good, as was the lox, capers and veggies. Had green onions, as opposed to red onion. Actually, it wasn't a terrible thing. Just different. One Son ordered a skillet, it looked interesting. He said it was excellent. All in all, it was a good visit. I recommend giving them a try.

Fantastic new restaurant Elly's is good, but their coffee sucks 5800 North Cafe is great, and their coffee is delicious. Anna has fantastic service, having immediately taken care of a forgotten mimosa and definitely recommended the Barbacoa Chilaquiles, 10/10 The vibe of this place is great, 70s and 80s music is the best

I dropped by with my family to enjoy a meal here. Love that it's in the neighborhood within walking distance. We were able to go in person and make a reservation. The waitress and staff were amazing even with our large group and big order. I had a strawberry/banana smoothie and it was delicious. I also ordered the Chicken & Bacon Waffles, on the menu it states it comes with jalapeños but I was able to not add it. I'm not a fan of the flavor of jalapeños but I do enjoy the heat. It may be my fault for not adding the peppers but I was hoping for more of a kick from the hot honey sauce. It was pretty tame. The chicken was cooked perfectly, fried nicely, where it was still crispy and juicy. The atmosphere was very pleasant as well. The decor, lighting and music was bright and earthy. I recommend checking this out. I will be back to try more items!

First time visiting this new cafe. It's a really nice place, pretty large location with its own parking located in the previous closed grocery store. There is also street parking. But the parking lot is just a short walk on the same side of the restaurant. The Food is excellent , service is amazing, ambiance is very nice. Our server Julian was amazing. He was very friendly and attentive. All around had a very nice brunch. We left very satisfied. We will definitely be back. Oh and the coffee was great, we never saw the bottoms of our cups as they were refilled right away. I believe they serve Intelligentsia coffee!

My husband and it was our first time here today for Brunch, and we were seated very fast and greeted by Sandy our waitress she was very friendly and never left us without an empty cup of coffee that's a big plus for us. The restaurant is very clean service is fast and friendly. Sandy thank you for your service. The food was so delicious I had the Spanish skillet so tasty the serving was well worth the price. My husband had an omelette and hash browns that were simply delicious!!!! Pancake is a plus we are so happy to have North Cafe in our neighborhood such a wonderful addition. Thank you for the awesome service

Great use of the space. 5800 North Cafe for Breakfast and lunch in Cafe and then off too Phil's for pizza dinner. The breakfast was good I had the fried chicken skillet. Enough leftover for 3 days at home if you top it with a home fried egg.

Nice place, very modern and clean. The staff was freindly anf engaging. The coffee was good and fresh with fresh cream, not the cheap pre packaged stuff. I had the chilliquilles which were good but not great. I also added chicken which i would pass on in the future. On the priceier side for breakfast but the food was good quality overall.

Beautiful restaurant Very friendly servers shout out to Sandy! Very good food! And smoothies.

A clean new restaurant that has ALL the ingredients. Pretty ambiance and great space. Excellent courteous service dishing up tasty food in great portion sizes. I'm full and very happy!!

Just came from an amazing breakfast with my family. What a beautiful, modern-retro restaurant, so inviting. The owner, Al is GREAT, so personable and caring, The first thing I noticed, was the quality of the dishes, glassware and silverware, nice touch!!! Our group had a veggie omelette, pancakes, steak and eggs and the fried chicken with biscuits and gravy. The food was very good and the portions were enormous. This is our NEW breakfast spot and should be yours also.

Everything was excellent. Our new neighborhood go brunch cafe. Well worth a visit. Delicious food, excellent service and inviting facility.

We had 14 people at our party. Our server, Julian, was very attentive, and we received our food correctly. Two people came later, and their food came quickly after. The space was open and inviting. The portions were a good size and well worth the price. We definitely will be back.

I really enjoyed this new brunch cafe, ambiance is great, makes you feel uplifted and awake. Very large portions, plenty of left overs. I had the homemade Corned beef skillet very good, pancakes filled the plate. Will definitely be returning. Also I loved they had a separate large room, for special occasions or ladies luncheon.

I have really enjoyed both meals from this new breakfast place in the area. First time we dined in, service and food were excellent. Second time, we picked up our order... food was just as good as dining in!! Not only are the staff friendly and helpful but the inside of this restaurant is beautiful. A great addition to this neighborhood. This will def be a go to option for us when eating out for breakfast.

The Food and service is excellent Walking distance from my home and my off day I would love to stop by .

What a great place! We were waiting on by Cathy and she was very attentive and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and spacious. So happy it's in the neighborhood!

FIrst attempted dining here on Sunday which as expected was extremely crowded so during the week seemed a better choice. The menu itself truly gives you a variety from A to Z for breakfast and lunch. An amazing breakfast menu followed by a strong selection of sandwiches among other things. Our waitress Angie was welcoming and cheerful. Allowing me to make substitutions customizing my crepe breakfast with fresh fruit and whipped cream. In so much that she made the whipped cream in shape of a heart. The other half of my party enjoyed a corned beef hash skillet with eggs over medium that were cooked perfectly, low and slow. no Browning around the corners and not cooked too fast. Obviously take great pride in their presentation as well as their bill of fare itself. If today's meal is the consistent example of what they intend to provide to the neighborhood, they will be there a very long time and I welcome it. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast, Truly enjoyable. and.. Angie you are very good at what you do. Thank you.

It was my first visit, and highly recommend to anyone looking for great local neighborhood breakfast spot. Food was great - fresh, well-cooked, and plentiful! Great breakfast and lunch options. Service was attentive throughout the whole visit. And, ambiance was clean, modern, and with the right "home" feel that you want and expect from a neighborhood breakfast restaurant.

Service was great, the food was fantastic and the decor was modern. I can't wait to plan another brunch

Great place for brunch. Lovely rooms - just opened, everything is new and shiny! We had the Florence Benedict, Cinnamon Roll, and Blueberry Cream Cheese French Toast. Everything was well-prepared and very tasty. The service was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. We are delighted they opened up! BTW, plenty of parking on the street and in a nearby lot.

Very nice looking place & clean. Menu looks good. Unfortunately service was not there. Came in on a Monday morning at 10:30am. Resturant was not that busy. We were seated right away. We were a party of 3. We ordered three regular omelettes. And nothing else. By 11:05am we began to notice that people who came after us were being served their meals. I then saw a waiter come out of the kitchen with a large tray, which I thought was finally our meal. Instead, it was for another party who also came after us. At that point we were pushing 40 minutes after our order, we promptly got up and left. Female waitress, put her hand up in disbelief as we walked out. Unfortunately, we were the ones in disbelief wondering what's so hard to make three simple omelettes. I'm guessing our waitress must have delayed placing our order into the kitchen or forgot. Either way I'm not returning. 40 minutes of my time for a basic breakfast that never came . It's outrageous especially when you're not busy. Not to mention couldn't even bring the straws for our waters which we asked for twice.

We called ahead for a party of 9 and were told by hostess to it would be a few minutes. When we arrived the hostess again said it would be a few minutes we waited for 40 minutes as she sat multiple tables. She said we are waiting for a large table to finish. I asked why she didn't put tables together for us instead of seating multiple tables of 4 she said no tables were next to each other. I don't know why she didn't hold a table open for a few minutes until another one next to it opened instead of seating multiple tables of 4 as we waited. We wouldn't have attempted to dine here if when I called she would have said it would be an hour wait.

The food was delicious and the portions are massive. The ambiance is adorable! Very cute and modern. The staff was so sweet! We came in right before they closed and we didn't feel rushed at all

New favorite breakfast spot!!! GREAT food, great service, and great atmosphere! Will definitely be a repeat customer.

I live in the area many years and nice to have a breakfast spot within walking distance , must say the ambience is really nice very clean etc, but that's not what the main reason we go, we go for the food and i must say was not impressed at all , first off the wait time was very long I understand there new and probably need to get adjusted but when my lil daughter was complaining about the wait time I knew something was wrong she never asks that lol and to top it off we finally get our order which was very small on the portion size for the price we paid , the smallest omellete I ever seen that my kid ate in 2 minutes she never eats an omelette that fast we usually have to take it home lol again very small portions for a high price not good , we will be sticking with elle:s pancake house and cozy corner with the generous portions and better wait time and to be honest better tasting food , my family and friends were informed about this they will not be going to this Rip off place

This new cafe is awesome! Our server, Sandee, is amazing..so personable and beyond efficient! She's fantastic ...and the food is fantastic..Great experience all around!

The food was amazing! Very lovely ambiance and vibe inside, and the service was quick and very pleasant!! Will definitely be coming back soon!

Really nice brunch spot, the ambience/aesthetic is amazing! The waitresses were all super sweet!!
