5800 North Cafe

One of my favorite places for breakfast without a doubt. The menu is varied and thoughtfully curated, with absolutely incredible food. The service is outstanding you truly feel at home from the moment you walk in. Their coffee is excellent, a must if you’re a coffee lover. This time, I tried a smoothie recommended by Ana, and as always, she suggested something delicious. She never misses! Overall, this place is a solid 10/10. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a cozy atmosphere.

This place was AMAZING!!! Bravo to the owners, staff and cooks! The food was fresh and flavorful, great prices, and portions were perfect. The staff was very friendly and our server Kimberly was attentive, professional and prompt. We will definitely be back. We both ordered the Lox Benedict. It was the most perfectly poached egg with a wonderful creamy hollandaise sauce!

This is the most delicious breakfast spot!! I ordered the fried chicken skillet with the banana cream pancakes & it’s seriously the best breakfast i’ve had in Illinois so far. I also had a vanilla matcha & it was so good i had to order another. The mimosa flight was also fresh & tasty. Our waitress sandee has the best personality & was the highlight of our visit. I would request her anytime I stop by. thankful to have found this place & will definitely visit everytime i’m in the area.

This place is definitely a new gem!! The ambiance was adorable walking in, it wasn’t too busy, they have so many food options, from typical american breakfast to unique choices with spanish influence. Our waitress Cathy was a sweetie, she as well as I believe either the manager on staff or owner of the business checked on us frequently. Our waters were always filled. There was a tiny mistake on my order, they took it back immediately and corrected the issue, as well as checking up and making sure everything was okay periodically. Truly a great experience!!

We had a perfect brunch experience here. Cathy was our server and she was awesome. She was very friendly and attentive, took great care of us. The food was fantastic. We got the garden skillet and the barbacoa chilaquiles skillet, both were HUGE and tasty. 10/10. Toast or pancakes were offered as a side, we both got pancakes which was the move! Awesome pancakes. There were some tables with kids and one girl ordered the best looking hot chocolate I’ve seen. Whipped cream and sprinkles on top. Just a delightful looking beverage. Awesome to have this restaurant in Gladstone Park. We will be back!

Walked in and was welcomed by a warm Christmas atmosphere, decorated very nicely. Food AMAZING the portions are BIG and for the pricing omgggg definitely affordable, a plate of pancakes can feed 2 people and it's like $13-15(Majority of this menu is below $18). Customer service WOW very attentive, and super nice. Knowledgeable of the area gave recommendations for other eating places. My servers were Julian and Sandee and made this a really great experience for my 1st time in Chicago. DON'T pass this place up, you'll regret it😉

We stopped in on a whim for brunch on a Friday, which was our 2nd time eating at 5800 North! Our waitress was CATHY and very accommodating. We noticed there were several breakfast cocktails, but no espresso martinis! I figured it was worth a shot as they have a nice specialty coffee selection so, CATHY made a quick inquiry and returned with two dynamite espresso martinis. Our food was delicious, the corned beef hash skillet is house made, which was obviously crafted with care! The Garden skillet was also very good. The portions were big and each came with a side of pancakes/toast. They also house make their jelly/jam, and I have to say it was so, so good! The atmosphere is cute, we never felt rushed, and again the service was Top-notch! If you’re looking for a nice brunch spot that isn’t going to kill your wallet, definitely stop in 5800 North Café!

The establishment offers a wonderful ambiance for an early breakfast or brunch. The food was promptly served and arrived hot. The service was exceptional, and our server, Cathy, was particularly outstanding, consistently inquiring if we required anything further and regularly checking on our table. It is a delightful place to dine and we look forward to returning.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. We had French toast and Belgian waffles. Fruits were fresh and sweet. chai latte With cinnamon on top delicious Served in beautiful different color cups. Nice and clean and amazing staff. Will visit every time when visiting my mom

There haven't been many standouts in this neighborhood for a long time. Let's be real -- Jeff Park's food scene has been slow to evolve. But this new restaurant? A much-needed game-changer. Born and raised here, I've seen this area go through its ups and downs, but it's rare to find a place that feels elevated and still keeps that local charm. The food was excellent -- cooked to perfection, seasoned right, and clearly made with care. If I could offer one small tweak, it'd be to roast the jalapeños (or even swap in poblanos) for a smoother flavor and texture. And personally, I'd use Oaxaca instead of cheddar -- but that's just my chef brain talking. The coffee? Top-tier. Smooth, bold, and made right. And they have oat milk -- which shouldn't be a big deal, but for this side of the city, it absolutely is. I'm thrilled to finally have a spot near home where I can skip Starbucks and enjoy a proper latte. The space itself is beautiful -- modern yet comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and filled with great energy. The host was warm and welcoming, and our server, Sandi (with two E's!), was fantastic -- funny, attentive, and clearly proud to work there. She even showed me their espresso machine that was literally flown in from Italy. 10/10 across the board. Jefferson Park finally has a restaurant worth bragging about -- and I'll be back, often.

I've been to this café a few times now, and every visit just makes me love it more! I've tried the Breakfast Panini, Florence Benedict, North Café Special Salad with fresh shrimp, Berry Mascarpone Crepes, Banana Coconut Cream Crepes, fresh orange juice, latte, and regular coffee--everything has been absolutely delicious with no complaints at all. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Portions are generous without being overwhelming, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. On top of that, the service is excellent. My waitress, Sandee, was so attentive and thoughtful--she even separated my salad to-go, which I really appreciated. Between the warm service, great atmosphere, and consistently amazing food, this place has quickly become one of my favorites. Highly recommend!

I'm pretty sure 5800 North Cafe opened earlier this spring, I know it's definitely newer, newish to the neighborhood. Saturdays are our day for a brunch adventure, and we took the opportunity to see what they're all about. There is plenty of street parking and the building is large and on the corner of the block. I'm unsure if there's a private parking lot, but we found street parking easily. Walking in, the cafe is bright, well lit with natural light, bright colors, and clean modern design and decoration. The hostess was so kind and friendly, and we were sat immediately. The dining room is very large, there are plenty of both booths and tables, across two sections of dining room, as well as a bar in the back. Our server was Kathy and we were helped quickly after being seated. Like many other fast-paced breakfast diners, water was also brought to the table upon being seated. I want to emphasize how genuine and kind Kathy was through breakfast. She had a quick funny story that got us laughing, and service was amazing throughout our meal. The menu is expansive with tons of breakfast and lunch options. We are benedict lovers and gravitated towards that section of the menu. My partner had the Traditional Bennie, which comes with a huge slice of ham off the bone, eggs, and homemade hollandaise. I had the Irish Bennie, which comes with corned beef hash under the poached eggs and hollandaise. Both came with hashbrowns. Food came out quickly and looked amazing. These portion sizes are huge and absolutely felt more than adequate for the price. I will say this is not my favorite corned beef hash in town, BUT is one of the best benedict options locally by far. The hollandaise is so rich and vibrant, and the eggs were textbook perfect. The hashbrowns also one of the best around, they are thin and fried on a flattop for crispy brown edges. Neither of us could quite finish our plates, and we left so full and happy. I'm highly interested in the skillets and the pancakes, and this will definitely be a place we add to our rotation of favorites for breakfast. I hope this spot stays successful. Thank you 5800 North Cafe for a great Saturday morning.

We were looking for a breakfast place here in Chicago and found this place. There was a line when we got there but the hostess was super sweet and put our name down immediately. The wait wasn't long and the turn around was quick. And the food was definitely worth the wait, our server was very attentive and nice as well. Her name was Ana. The restaurant itself was big and looked very clean. I would definitely come back and recommend this place!

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!

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!

Great service, food, and coffee! It's very spacious so there's always plenty of room to sit but once in a while (on a Saturday morning) you may experience a short wait.

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 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.

Nice, clean restaurant with good food at reasonable prices and excellent staff. Our waiter was Sandee, who handled our breakfast group of 8 flawlessly. Everybody's meal was exactly as ordered. Looking forward to our next visit.

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.

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.

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!

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!

Amazing food and classy interior. Defo stands out in the hood in a positive way. Good vegetarian options

Food was excellent and service was even better. It was a busy weekend morning and our server was Sandee and she took excellent care of us. She was fast, busy, courteous and the best. I hope I see her when I go back there again. The lady at the front desk also knows how to take care of customers

It is more of a 3.5 We were seated promptly around 9:30 am on a Saturday. The place is large and parking was easy to find. The menu has all the classic breakfast dishes but nothing original. The Irish Benedict was very basic, not sure why the corned beef was chopped so finely. The hollandaise sauce was too thick. The shakshuka needed more tomatoes and the peppers were just cut in half instead of chopped. The Waffle was disappointing, very doughy inside, may from the mass produced hotel breakfast mixture (comes with no toppings). The coffee was drinkable, just a tad above gas station coffee. The prices are mid and portion sizes are a reasonable. We did not take any leftovers home, which is rare in breakfast restaurants. Overall, not bad but not at the level of Honeybear or Bryn Mawr by any stretch of imagination.

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 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.

Didn't care for the soup and the eggs weren't prepared well. Nice ambience and good service at least.

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.

The restaurant is bright and colorful. The food was really good had eggs Benny and skillet both were delicious. Couldn't finish it. The staff were hustling because the place was packed. Sandy our waitress was great! never let the coffee go dry etc. definitely going back . Had a parking lot just a few feet away. So glad we tried it

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

Really outstanding, excellent food and huge, awesome menu. Many vegetarian options which seems strangely rare in this area of the city. Unusually friendly and professional waitstaff, cute interior, free parking lot--this is our new favorite place for brunch by a mile. SO glad to have this place within walking distance--Edgebrook is sorely lacking in decent places to sit down and eat and it's even worse if you don't eat meat. If they offered their lunch menu at dinner, we'd go! (Mom's Old Recipe next door is also great.)

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!

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! :)

Fantastic service (thanks Julian!) and abundant tasty menu choices. My husband said it was the best omelette of his life. We'll be back.

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

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

Our server (I believe his name was Julian) was exceptional! The food was great and the price was incredibly reasonable! The restaurant has a great atmosphere, clean and inviting. My husband was also very happy they were playing the Bears game so he didn't miss anything lol! Definitely coming back!

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!

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.

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

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.

Great breakfast place. Amazing food and some of the best service. Bright ambiance too

Nice neighborhood place! Good food, clean, nice service and portions. I will definitely return.

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.

The first thing I noticed was the cleanliness of the place (bathroom, menu, seating, table, silverware were spotless). The service was great! Our waitress was super friendly, helpful, pleasant and attentive. The price was reasonable given the huge portions, quality and deliciousness of the food. I will definitely be coming back.

Great breakfast spot! Always busy on weekends. Al (owner) is very hands on, greets customers and is always cheerful. Food is fantastic. The biscuits and gravy with 2 eggs and hash browns is one of my favorites (only $12.99). My only issue has been with the Toast app. If you scan the QR code when paying it doesn't link to your Toast rewards. I've mentioned to Al and he's working on it.

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!

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

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.

Great fruit bowl! All of our food was cooked perfectly. Atmosphere is bright and cheery. Employees were all so friendly. My husband's omelet was exactly as he likes it, with everything INSIDE, not thrown on top. Bacon was crispy and flavorful. Coffee was good too. I wish I lived closer.

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.

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

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

Fantastic local spot, the hostess Amina was very helpful and recommended the breakfast panini which was just amazing. Will definetly be back again!

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.
