Where Politicians Eat in Chicago beyond the 2024 DNC | Eater Chicago

"The luscious cinnamon rolls at Ann Sather’s have made this Swedish breakfast spot a Lakeview brunch tradition. Ann Sather’s owner, Tom Tunney, has also wielded outsized influence in Chicago politics and its restaurant industry. The former 44th Ward alderman once chaired the Illinois Restaurant Association and all but quashed Chicago’s budding food truck scene. The original location, near Belmont and Clark, appears to be close to the end with developers eyeing new construction in the area. No formal announcement has been made." - Leigh Giangreco

Ann Sather Review - Lakeview - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Nothing compares to a quality cinnamon roll, and nobody does it better than Ann Sather on Belmont. Ann Sather is a standard breakfast and lunch restaurant, except for two special twists. First, it’s technically an ode to Swedish cuisine, but more so in the form of serving a few Swedish staples like pancakes with lingonberries, meatballs, and potato pancakes with applesauce. Imagine the items you’d see at an Ikea cafeteria, but a bit better. The second twist, and the more important of the two, is the cinnamon rolls. These bad boys are everything you want in a cinnamon roll and then some, and we often seek them out as diligently as humanity has searched for the Lost City beneath the sea. Keep in mind that a single order of cinnamon rolls actually includes two. Ann Sather has the look and feel of a classic diner, and you can also BYOB for mimosas or Bloody Marys if you so wish. Aside from these two things and our favorite baked goods though, the rest of the food is so-so. The Swedish pancakes are fine, but other breakfast items like omelets, wraps, and benedicts are by no means impressive. They will help satisfy your hunger, but that’s about all. The cinnamon rolls, however, are exceptional, and they will make for a better rest of your day. Food Rundown Cinnamon Roll Fantastic, and the real reason we come to Ann Sather for meals. So good, so sweet, so divine. Pecan Roll A sophisticated version of the regular cinnamon roll. And by sophisticated we mean a similar great baked good covered in pecans. Biscuits Douse them in honey and you’re good to go. Swedish Pancakes with Lingonberries Swedish pancakes are more like French crepes, and lingonberries are basically cranberries. Imagine thin pancakes with a sweet cranberry preserve. Breakfast Wraps A sizeable breakfast wrap in a large tortilla. You have the options of the basics like bacon, egg, and cheese, or build your own with a number of different available ingredients. Overall, they are OK, but you probably won’t want to eat it all anyway once you power through the cinnamon rolls. Smoked Salmon Benedict Our preferred route in the benedict department. Again, nothing out of the ordinary, but it won’t make you mad." - Sam Faye

We had such a good time. First, go for the cinnamon rolls and everything else in your life will be fine! Please be aware the cinnamon rolls come as a side so no need to order additional unless you need a sugar rush! I also had the eggs and salmon and it was solid. The wait wasn't long for us on a Saturday around 10am. This is a must stop for the cinnamon rolls.

Today, I got an order of two cinnamon rolls and there was zero icing on half of the edge piece and I asked for some icing on that bare bit. They charged for the “extra” icing that should have been included in the first place. If this were a one-time thing I would't mind so much, but it is fairly typical of this location. I don't know what it is about this location, but compared to Belmont the service is really not great. They act like it's a bother to do anything, including hand you your to-go order. I had the gall to ask for the inside rolls once (if posssible) they gave me the corner while saying, "there's your inside." I use basic courtesy, and no other place I know of so consistently disappoints. The cinnamon rolls (when they have enough icing) are great. Obviously, I think they're worth it.

The eggs benedict was cooked to perfection! As a group of 4, the seating was cozy amidst the homestyle atmosphere. I chose the cinnamon rolls and fruit as my sides, all orders came in HEALTHY portions! Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, this was a great brunch stop for a Tuesday afternoon.

As a first timer at Ann Sathers, my daughter and I were excited to try the cinnamon rolls because we kept hearing they were the best in the city. We each ordered our own breakfast dish and got the rolls as a side. Side bar; this review is NOT about the rolls. We were grabbing food to go and the chef advised us to wait an additional 5 minutes for fresh rolls from the oven, but I had to run. So what we ate is not the true full Ann Sather cinnamon roll experience. Ok, on to the breakfast dishes. Honestly we were both just totally underwhelmed by the lack of flavor in both of our dishes. I ordered a burrito and my daughter had steak. Anyway, we want to give it another try. Next time we will sit and eat and wait for fresh rolls. Service was amazing, and the atmosphere is chill. Any recommendations on tasty flavorful main dishes?? Thnx

Ann Sather is a Chicago staple that somehow I haven't been to in all my years living here until recently. Honestly, I thought they only sold cinnamon rolls since that's what everyone talks about when you mention the restaurant. They are a full service restaurant though, reminiscent of diners that were popular in the 90s. It's almost like going back in time when eating here, as the decor is 90s coded as well. I had to try the cinnamon rolls, of course, and they didn't disappoint. A little on the sweet side for me but moist and huge for them being a side dish. The food overall seemed a bit bland, which was more common back in the day. I assume it so customers can put as much seasoning on as they want but I think I'm so used to more contemporary dining where you're expected to experience the flavors as the chef intended without adding things like additional salt. Would I go back? Personally, I'm not sure. For a cinnamon roll, absolutely. The place was clean and the staff were excellent though! Another staple of diners. If you're visiting, it's worth checking out especially if you haven't had a true diner experience or are nostalgic for one. There are other places in the city with similar offerings though.

Bought a half dozen of cinnamon buns and wasted my money. I was looking for fresh baked , instead they were hard and old. I warmed them up but they weren't any better. I guess you get fresh ones if you dine in.

The only negative is the lack of a kids menu. But the fact that the amazing cinnamon rolls are served with your meal as a side dish is a giant plus! We came for breakfast on our Chicago vacation and so glad we did. We all enjoyed the food and the service was super friendly.

I almost never write a review immediately after an experience but for this gem I am making an exception. 5 stars does not adequately describe the quality of the food and service we received. Our server was friendly and efficient and just a pleasure to talk to. I wish I could remember her name to point her out specifically but we were there at approximately 8am thanksgiving morning and she has two kids who live in Arizona! I hope that identifies her to the manager. She was exceptional. I felt like I was eating at a friend’s house (with better food!). I ordered the famous cinnamon rolls and I understand why they are famous. Warm, gooey and loaded with cinnamon - best I have ever eaten. My husband ordered the pecan rolls and they were equally as delicious. The coffee was good, hot and my cup was never empty. My husband ordered southern decadence and it was. Eggs, biscuits and sausage covered with sausage gravy. Easily enough to split. I ordered eggs, chicken basil sausage and potatoes. The potatoes were well seasoned and the eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked. They have multiple locations in the city and I suggest you find one soon. You will not be disappointed! Also the price was very reasonable - around 40.00 and we both took home left over boxes.

Probably most know for their cinnamon roll (do try one), this is a great breakfast spot in the neighborhood. They have a few other locations closer to downtown and having gone to others the quality is pretty consistent. Since this is close to Loyola it can get pretty packed for brunch during the school year. I haven't had a bad option yet, so definitely try whatever looks good to you. The staff was also friendly and as attentive as one could be with a packed place.

The synonym...I mean the cinnamon rolls though! These things are legit! A standard side comes with two of them, and they are large enough to last me several days! (Lately my appetite has been reduced from the usual voraciousness for reasons we won't discuss). The dough is fresh, and the cinnamon is noticeable but won't have you coughing. Then there is the frosting... it is abundant, flavorful, and has just a teeny bit of crispness up top, kind of like a really great Krispy Kreme donut! Alas, based on my experience, the cinnamon rolls are the only things worth visiting for, and even those can be ordered to-go. I ordered the 2 eggs (over medium), with bacon, and for my sides, I ordered the hash browns + cheese, and the cinnamon rolls. The eggs? They were a true over-medium, but lacked any salt or seasoning. To be fair, it was provided on the table, but shouldn't food leave a kitchen ready to eat? Adding more salt/pepper should be an option, not a necessity. Extra-lean bacon was fine, only I grumble that regular bacon wasn't available. Bacon should be bacon-y! The hash browns, though, were an outrage. First, these had no crispness of any kind. It seemed as though they were boiled, thrown onto a griddle for three seconds (if that), topped with pre-shredded cheese from a bag, and put onto the plate. Second, they were hilariously bland - look, with the eggs I was a little more forgiving, though with the potatoes I draw the line! Third is value: the thing that makes $13.45 acceptable for two eggs and a few bacon strips is the fact that two sides are included...Cinnamon rolls? Great! you get two large pastries! But with the potatoes, you get about a serving spoon; these two are not equivalent. Three-and-a-half: what's the bagged shredded cheese about? Y'all know the anti-caking agents mean it doesn't melt right, right? Finally, where I want to give them kudos is the speed of the service. The sweets came out before I finished washing my hands, and the eggs/bacon/potatoes followed very soon after. Ann Sather may be an institution, but as a newcomer to Chicago, it failed to win over my heart as a sit-down place, only as a takeaway, and only for one item. I do not feel it is worth paying close to $20 for food I can make three times better at home for a fraction of the cost.

Great food and great value. Service was quick and the food came out quickly as well despite the restaurant being very busy on a Sunday morning. The cinnamon rolls that were included as a side with the meal were massive. Could've been a meal on their own. The hashbrowns were delicious and the house made salsa that came with the avocado wrap was amazing.

What a great way to start your day! Rather small and loud (not boujee by any means), but worth it with so many great breakfast favorites to choose from. Large portions and really amazing prices!! Almost any type of breakfast food you could desire and then some, honestly it's hard to decide. I feel as though I am a cinnamon roll connoisseur (lol) and these are AMAZING! The icing/ frosting melts in your mouth and dough is warm and soft. So yummy! Everyone is so friendly and attentive. Patty (like the sausage) truly a staple here, provides amazing service here and does a little dance when dropping off the cinnamon rolls that will bring a smile to your face. Definitely check this place out while visiting, take your guests while they're visiting or check it out for your next brunch outing (BYOB).

I was really craving a sausage wrap or breakfast sandwich and remembered passing by this spot a few times, so I decided to finally try it out. I was shocked at the GREAT prices they have and the amount of food you get. Given the price, I wasn't expecting much flavor wise, but I was wrong! The bagel sandwich was SOO good and although the potatoes weren't very flavorful, I actually quite enjoyed them as the sandwich was so full of flavor. The cinnamon rolls looked a bit dry but they were not!! They were perfect. I am so glad I took the trip down here!

Terrible cinnamon rolls! What has happened? It seems like all the ingredients have changed. Clear / non existent frosting, roll tasted like white bread, no cinnamon flavor

Coffee, bagels, biscuits, cinnamon rolls and a fruit bowl. What's not to love? But, actually... the best was the service. I went with my mom who gets around with a walker and every single employee went out of their way to ensure she could get in and out of the door, and get every carb she was craving. The coffee was refilled promptly and we even got lemons for our water when we asked. The only issues we ran into was the bathroom wasn't easily accessible because there were no bars to hold on to, and they serve honey in tiny little packets which are probably more sanitary but difficult to open.

I was very surprised to see such mixed reviews for this Ann Sather location. It's a really great neighborhood basic for us to have, and I've always get really satisfied every time I've visited. Most recently I will say we went on a very early Sunday morning, and were one of maybe three tables in the restaurant at the time so I'm sure that affects food quality and service. Our waiter was very kind and attentive. Our food came out fresh and hot and we had no complaints at all! What I love most about Ann Sather is that you basically pay for breakfast and an equal portion of leftovers. Our total bill came out to around 30 dollars, including juice and coffee and for the amount of food we had that was an amazing deal!

Another lazy morning in Rogers Park means another leisurely breakfast at Ann Sather. This time we got the salmon benedict with perfectly poached eggs, a HUGE egg & cheese bagel, and of course the cinnamon rolls! All washed down with a dark cup of hot coffee. Ann Sather is a reliable standard for breakfast. Whenever I'm in the area, I stop in because I know what I'm gonna get. You should too!

Terrible service. A waiter who kept dancing by. Literally dancing by. Say for at least 15 minutes before she sauntered over to take my order. Asked if I wanted my bacon crispy, I said yes. It came out half cooked. Took me forever to wave her down. Coffee was not refilled regularly, I had to ask a number of times. I ordered the regular French toast. Got three slices for $13,95. Ridiculous. Dirty dishes were often carried through the dinning area more often than the waiter stopping by to see if I needed anything. Had to wave her down for another refill of coffee.

I don't think I've been to this Ann Sather before, but since the Andersonville location closed, this is the one that's now closest to me. I recently had a craving for a cinnamon roll, and Ann Sather's are legendary in Chicago. Their website is... useless? It's not useful for online ordering (you couldn't order online at all, you have to call, in the year of our lord 2022), so I called to order a couple cinnamon rolls to pick up. They said they have them available anytime so to just come in, so I popped in one morning to get a couple. When I got home I was so disappointed! I am not one who actually needs them the way they serve them in store--where they are drenched, on a plate filled with icing--but upon first glance I wasn't even sure if these had any icing. Another reviewer said they looked like they were leftover from the day before, and yep, I can totally see that. I don't think they were, but wow these were underwhelming. Given how they are presented when you dine in, I expected a bit more icing than this--again, not a gallon, but some. I'm also surprised that since they know their customers are used to that, they don't even suggest buying a bit of icing on the side to accompany them. Well, once I got home and saw them there was nothing to do but eat them. So we heated them for about 15 seconds in the oven to warm them up. Didn't melt the frosting at all, but they were more edible that way than as the hard lump of bread that was in the bag. I've enjoyed the cinnamon rolls at AS but have never really understood the hype... this time they tasted no better than something you'd make out of a Pillsbury can, so in the future I'll look for a better place if I have my heart set in a delicious cinnamon roll.

I usually frequent the Belmont location but decided to visit this closer location today. I was pleased to find they were open for breakfast today on the 4th of July. I invited my sister, who had never been to Ann Sather before, and raved to her about their fresh cinnamon rolls. The value for money is exceptional; breakfast includes two sides (which can be fresh baked (two) gooey cinnamon rolls, or two fresh baked biscuits, hash browns, or a couple other options are also available), making it a substantial meal for the price. You leave feeling satisfied and that you've received excellent value, unlike many other establishments affected by shrinkflation. There was a slight issue with my order not being hot enough, an occurrence that has never happened before. Although I usually refrain from complaining, the manager promptly had my meal remade, and it was served hot, delicious, and very comforting (nostalgic). The manager also graciously comped our drinks, which was greatly appreciated, even though we were already content with our meal/visit. He went the extra step and it proved the point (I had made to my sister) that its a great spot for breakfast. My sister is now a fan of Ann Sather and expressed her desire to bring her sons for breakfast soon. Ann Sather continues to be a favorite for my family, and we will undoubtedly return to this location. Thank you for a delightful visit and excellent food. Truly appreciated. Happy 4th everyone!

5 stars for the cinnamon rolls. Oh. My. God. I could eat these daily and not get sick of it. However, if I had to go by service, this place would be 2*. The service was chaotic. This location is so busy, especially for weekend brunch, however, I think that the staff needs some more organization with the way that they seat customers and provide service. I had brunch here on a Sunday. We were seated by a hostess. Then 4 other tables were seated. No waitress came to check my table. However, the other tables around me started getting service, including drinks and cinnabons being served and we still had nothing! Not even an acknowledgement. It was just a bummer experience. I think that I will only order to-go from here from now on. Additionally, check out the bacon and cheese potato pancakes with dill and sour cream! They're huge and delicious!

Came here on a rainy Tuesday morning with 3 of my friends before my flight out of Chicago. We were seated immediately and had the nicest waitress! We ordered the mexican omelette with cheddar cheese, it came with 2 sides so we got the cinnamon roll and a bowl of fruit. We also ordered danish pancakes which came with sausage (usually meatballs, but they ran out). We ordered these dishes to share between the 4 of us and it was the perfect amount! Mexican omelette was really good, tons of avocado and cheese - the salsa was a great touch as well. Cinnamon rolls came in a huge portion and were so delicious. Danish pancakes were a bit too eggy for me and I didn't love the berry sauce that came with it. Overall, they were great portions for a great price! Would definitely come back if I were in the area again. Also, we had a super sweet waitress, don't remember her name but she was awesome.

I love Ann Sather! Or more accurately, her cinnamon rolls! I've been going to her restaurants since I was a little boy. Best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. Ann sold her restaurants to Tom Tunney back in the 80's. He apprenticed under her for a year, and did a great job taking the torch and carrying it for many years. Sadly, he has begun selling-off the restaurants, as the land is extremely valuable. He sold the Andersonville location back in 2013, and recently sold the Belmont location to a developer for $10 million. But I digress. This was my first visit to this location on Granville, just steps from the Loyola campus. The food was just as good as I remember. I had the Crab Cake Benedict and it was delicious! My wife had the traditional Eggs Benedict, and my daughter enjoyed her waffle. But the star of the meal was the cinnamon rolls! Service was friendly and quick. If you haven't tried Ann Sather - I highly recommend you do so, and soon!

The cinnamon rolls :( I ordered the mexican omelet with a side of hash browns and cinnamon rolls. The omelet and the salsa that came with it had absolutely zero flavor. If you had flavor in your mouth and you took a bite of the omelet and salsa, it would neutralize it. That's how bland it was! I thought, oh well, a swedish themed cafe is probably not known for authentic mexican flavor or spice, but low and behold I still had the side of cinnamon rolls in the bag that came with the order. I have had these many times before and they are ooey gooey delicious. I open the bag and pulled them out and they look like they were sitting under a heat lamp for forever. Perhaps they were left over from yesterday? There was almost no icing, and the sides and top were hard. Definitely seemed like a leftover. The only thing that was good was the hash browns. Very tasty. I haven't eaten here since the beginning of the pandemic, so maybe they have had a change of staff and they are figuring things out. I'll try again in a few months.

Any place that includes "2 Homemade Cinnamon Rolls" as a side dish is getting five full red Yelp stars! When they arrived, I quickly placed them in the middle and put my Denver Omelet on the side. These cinnamon rolls are not my momma's cinnamon rolls, but they did deserve to be front and center, main dish style. Yummers! The omelet was really good, too. It was full of ham, onions, and green peppers. The "hash" browns are really home fries by a different name and very tasty. The rest of my party ordered wraps: Sunrise Wrap, Avocado Wrap, Sausage Wrap. They all looked delicious and came with what appeared to be a fire roasted salsa. Our server, Arturo, kept the coffee coming and was very attentive even as business picked up on this Thursday morning in Chicago. It was graduation week and I saw a party of four popping open some champagne for some tasty mimosas (Ann Sather is BYOB/W/Champagne). A great little breakfast place in a great little neighborhood. I'm not sure who Ann is, but she's doing breakfast right. And, did you hear about her cinnamon rolls???

The Avocado delight wrap; not enough avocado, asked for potato's to be cooked well done crispy, they came wet and not well prepared. Ordered the Mediterranean omelet; they was overcooked and not enough vegetables. They also came with complementary biscuits, they were very dry. Overall, I don't think I'll order from here again.

Appears as if seating was a secret project and the hostess had failed to have been informed that the seating plan and its details were to be found in an abandoned phone booth accessible only through time travel and with the correct password. Eventually I was uncomfortably wedged between two parties, only to enjoy the open, available and spacious seating as a view from my cramped and uncomfortable confines. Then came a barrage of three, possibly four servers, albeit they all were pleasant, they were all equally dazed and confused. Which might account for my cinnamon rolls being nuked three, possibly four times. And then it arrived, rediscovered cinnamon rolls long thought lost from a Manhattan Project Breakfast; drowning in a bubbling radioactive sea of dollar store expired canned frosting. As anticipated, the visual disappointment was only a prelude to the much more disappointing taste test. Of course getting the check was another arduous endeavor. Maybe there was a secret code for that as well, like yelling Fat Man or Little Boy. Just speculating. Extra star for the ok orange juice and because I did not begin to glow in the dark or become my own night light as previously feared.

ATTACHMENT SHOWS WHAT HAPPEN WITH MY ORIGINAL ORDER So I love this place excellent cook and good people and Atmosphere but today was that day it came down to me being respected or treated like everyone else in America rude and poorly but Jose he took care of me he's the manager and made everything right I appreciate it and where at the understanding that money is not the issue of my order it's just the respect of getting my order done without people rushing and I appreciate him working with me and this is amazing restaurant to go to I only give it four stars because I had to come out five dollar tip to make my point that way it wasn't a big deal but I still lost 5$ lmao

Nice lil Swedish spot, super fire. They give out two cinnamon rolls as a side too, which might be a concern for American obesity rates but we ate regardless. Service was cool, the waitress made me a glass of orange juice mixed with cranberry juice and at that moment I knew this was a 5 star joint. Ambiance was cool too, mad Swedish. I had some Swedish pancakes too, they really rock with the Swedes over here. My mom told me I'm like 10% Swedish so it's nice to see them putting on for the homeland. Five stars all around

Review is for the cinnamon rolls only! Probably the absolute best I've ever had. EVER. They were so soft and gooey. I loved the frosting and glaze. I ate this up in seconds. This was the only thing I purchased from Ann Sathers, as I did not dine in. If you're just wanting to try their cinnamon rolls, you can just walk up to the counter and buy some as they have a whole tray of them in their display case.

I hate to write bad reviews but the smoked salmon Benedict fell short for us during our visit. Did they started making their own English muffins that layered at the bottom? That was the only thing that feel short. So they lost a star, otherwise the other food items and service was good. Our waitress was attentive and super intuitive of our needs. Totally right in time when we need it. Super cool and friendly! Because of that they could have gotten a lower rating but she made the visit extra special, along with the marvelous cinnamon roles.

Home of the BEST cinnamon roll in the world, even in life! Also with three cool locations in Chicago, but the Granville one is definitely my favorite, usually no (or very short) wait, if you compare with the Belmont one, which is always busy and you have to wait most of the time over an hour, but worth it! Granville location is nice and quiet, service is always good and fast and the food is always what I am craving for breakfast! Fan #1 of their cinnamon rolls and their potato pancakes

Ann Sather - I'd rather not This was our first time visiting Ann Sather. We were able to walk in during peak brunch hours and snag a table for two. I ordered the eggs over medium with country ham, a side of hash browns - well done, and some biscuits and honey. My partner had the traditional eggs benedict with hash browns well done, and some cinnamon rolls the rolls were wonderful! gooey, and covered in icing. the biscuits look like they were made by children, oblong and flat, maybe over proofed? They were rubbery and the opposite of a crumbly biscuit. perhaps this is how swedish biscuits are meant to be? But man they were rough. pretty inedible. the first time they brought me my eggs they were cooked over hard and cold to the touch. on the re-fire they were cooked a little under easy, and were the only warm thing on the plate. the ham was cold and the hash browns were closer to steamed home fries/country potatoes.I didn't wanna try for a third time... my significant other's eggs benny was over poached and much of the yolk was cooked through, though she did enjoy that the hollandaise was served on the side. the staff was exceptionally courteous and were always on it with replenishing our water and coffees. I think it's fundamentally a flaw for any breakfast spot to not be able to properly cook eggs. they're the foundation of any diner/breakfast joint. save your money and just get a cinnamon roll and a coffee. or just go to a Golden Nugget.

First off, the cinnamon roll frosting was not cream cheese frosting, yay! I hate cream cheese frosting. Also, the cinnamon rolls themselves were outstanding! The breakfast wrap was decent. Other items looked better but I wasn't that hungry. The cinnamon rolls are huge and you get 2 so there's one for the next morning.

A brunch entree comes with 2 sides. 2 cinnamon rolls = 1 side. So yes, you can literally get FOUR incredible cinnamon rolls included with your meal if you want. That's enough to bring me back here many many times. I heard great things about Ann Sather for years before coming here for the first time and I was very happy with it -- my friends and I went to the Granville location and got seated right away even though it was prime brunch time on a Sunday. I got the crab cake benedict with cinnamon rolls and hash browns. I enjoyed the eggs a lot but the cinnamon rolls were the highlight (if that wasn't already obvious enough). Our waiter was also super friendly and the service was great. I already can't wait to come back!

I stopped here first thing for a late 2pm breakfast after spending all morning traveling. We were pretty hangry from traveling all day and not eating so I think we would have been happy to eat anything at that point. Thankfully, we were pleasantly surprised. Ann sather is a great intersection between price, food quality, and fast service. I ordered the 2 eggs any style (poached) + my 2 sides of chicken basil sausage and cinnamon rolls. Yes the rolls are just as good as everyone says. I found them to be sweet but not overly so. Great size for sharing too because the side dish comes with 2. I thought the chicken basil sausage was great too. It was like a flattened link. Just the right amount of spicy. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Food came out FAST. Will definitely be back. Even if it's just for the cinnamon rolls

cinnamon rolls are definitely worth the visit, but please request for them to be heated up!! would have been 10x tastier if warm. our server was such a sweetheart - would recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for brunch, but wouldn't go out if your way for it.

I went in a party of 6 for brunch and they put us alone in the back room for privacy, and our server was new but was super attentive and friendly. The food is always incredible. Our favorites are the Swedish crepes with lingonberry sauce and the Anne's Darling (which is on the "secret menu" you have to request!). The service was amazing and all 6 of us loved our food. Very generous portions so be ready for leftovers! Street parking was easy.

The only thing worth coming for is the cinnamon rolls. They are divine. So gooey and they come out nice and hot!! The rest of the food is pretty mediocre. I had the corn beef hash which was yummy with cinnamon rolls and hash browns. I appreciate how much food you get for what you pay. It's very reasonably priced and the unlimited coffee it definitely worth it. The service is also pretty quick and the servers are friendly!

I got a couple of cinnamon rolls for breakfast from here and thought they were decent. The icing was sweet but not too overwhelming. The dough was a bit too chewy and dry. I have had softer, more moist cinnamon roll bread from other places that were more pleasant to chew. This also could have been because I came around noon and maybe if they were fresh out of the oven they would taste better. Overall, they were above average cinnamon rolls at decent prices.

Nothing like the old Ann Sather of years ago. Indifferent servers, bland, tasteless food, insipid coffee, off tasting fruit. Swedish pancakes should be thin with crisp edges. These were rather thick, gooey, and tasted like they had been made on a grill where onions had just been fried. No scoop of luscious butter and a little bowl of lingonberries. Now, prewrapped butter pats and lingonberries in a plastic cup. One person in our party sent back her food and opted for a waffle, which was just fair. Over priced for what you get, as well We came here because another local breakfast place had a 2 hour wait. Next time I want a good brunch, I'll be prepared to wait the 2 hours.

What I love about this restaurant is the fact that they're giving you two hot cinnamon rolls for free. It was delicious. Cute and friendly place!

We used to like this place until today. We ordered brunch here twice within a week and today's experience was horrible. Ordered through Doordash, food came pretty quick. I usually order Swedish sampler which has Swedish pancake, sausage and meatball. When I opened the box today, my sausage seemed ripped off by hand and food was cold. Meatball barely had any sauce and cinnamon rolls were cold too. I wonder if the cook got lazy and jut threw leftover food in my box. Also, I noticed that grape in my fruit cup was MOLDY! Wth happened to this place? It wasn't like this when we ordered a few days ago and It was within a week. I'd love to support local business but I don't want to pay for something that may get me sick. Never going back- avoid this place and go to Belmont one.

I am an ambulatory wheelchair user and last weekend my roommates and I visited Ann Sather for brunch. We were told that I had to put my wheelchair out of sight in a coat closet. When it came time to leave, we waited a long time for my wheelchair to be retrieved but no one seemed to be coming. My roommate found where my wheelchair was being stored and two workers were playing in it!! One of them sitting in the wheelchair and another pushing. When they were caught, one of them hid and the other offered no apology or explanation. This is offensive, dangerous, and inappropriate. If they had broken my wheelchair, I would have been stranded there. My mobility aid is an extension of my body and I feel extremely violated by the people who have done this. This can NEVER happen again. If we hadn't paid in cash, I would have asked for a refund (especially since it tells you nowhere on the menu that a carafe of OJ is $19). Absolutely despicable.

My favourite Ann Sather is still the one on Broadway (Mike always does a superb job taking care of us), but this one is rather good as well. The subtle differences in the cinnamon roles always manage to amuse me. All are delicious, though slightly unique. Food is tasty and fresh. Service is prompt and efficient. Great for a quick and filling start to the day.
