“The crispy pancakes—fluffy inside, with a magical touch of vanilla powdered sugar lightly sprinkled on top and served with warm maple syrup—were pure perfection”

The people and food were great and the service was great not from Chicago but will tell others to try it when they visit. Special shoutout to diamond staying on top of the service while running multiple tables and everyone constantly checking if we needed anything. For the record pancakes are included sides here which I think is a cool bonus

Great spot for a casual breakfast. Cant beat the Senor Mexicano skillet. The chorizo is awesome! Our server Diamond was great as well.

“My boyfriend and I have been here before, but today felt like the perfect time to finally leave a review.”
My boyfriend and I have been here before, but today felt like the perfect time to finally leave a review! Our server, Dyamond, was absolutely fantasticand super friendly and made the experience even better. We both ordered waffles (of course!) I had the Abuelita Waffle, and it was rich chocolate abuelita drizzle, fresh banana slices, and whipped cream on the side. So good. My boyfriend went with the Cookies and Ice Cream waffle and loved every bite, especially the Oreo chunks paired with vanilla ice cream. I also ordered the strawberry orange juice, which was delicious my only complaint is that I wished it came in a bigger size! Overall, this place is a hidden gem, amazing food, fun and colorful décor, and great service. We’ll definitely be back for more waffles!
