This cozy spot serves up hearty brunch dishes and delightful coffee in a charming setting, perfect for a casual outing or weekend feast.
"This cozy cafe has become one of the best breakfast destinations in Rogers Park. Guests can build their own omelets, skillets, or scramblers. Other house specialties include breakfast quesadillas, biscuits stuffed with andouille sausage or smothered in country gravy, and truly decadent waffle and pancake platters. Book a table through Resy or order takeout online." - Sam Nelson
"Honeybear Cafe’s large retro sign might make you think that it’s a simple, old-timey diner. But inside this breakfast spot you’ll find neon signs, eclectic artwork, and everything from pumpkins to pride flags depending on what time of year it is. And though they do have simple egg breakfasts, the loaded, maximalist dishes are why we like coming here. We especially like the waffle chicken sandwiches with spicy honey and cheesy scrambled eggs, or the s’mores pancakes, which remind us why it's perfectly acceptable to have dessert for breakfast." - john ringor, veda kilaru

But inside this breakfast spot, you'll find vibrant neon signs, an eclectic mix of artwork, and everything from pumpkins to pride flags depending on what time of year it is. And though they do have simple egg breakfasts, the over-the-top dishes like large waffle chicken sandwiches or loaded S’mores pancakes are why we like coming here." - John Ringor
"This fantastic breakfast spot in Rogers Park had the terrible luck of opening right before restaurants closed for dine-in service. But it’s still going strong, making delicious food that’s available for takeout and delivery. You can expect things like waffle sandwiches, apple butter pancakes, and biscuits and gravy." - adrian kane
