Everything I have tried so far is excellent along with the awesome service and atmosphere. The free coffee cake is to die for. They are usually very crowded during weekends but absolutely worth the wait.

Chicago classic and the service is top tier. We’ve gotten lucky getting Teddy a few times in a row and he’s got a way of making your entire week

First time here! First the service was beyond amazing from the moment I walked in - the host, after respectfully asking if I had any food restrictions, gave me a wonderful slice of coffee cake; led me to a table and was more than happy to sit me at different table next to the window and given a menu. The over atmosphere is amazing, fun decor, lots of seat, good vibes. I was immediately provided an iced water by the server, and the waiter came over, introduced himself, I mentioned this was my first time and suggested four different items on the menu the were popular - which I greatly appreciated. I ordered a Portland Omelette with hash browns - which was good, but not amazing (I wish I had ores cornbeef hash… completely my bad) They also have an amazing cocktail menu - strongly recommend the espresso martini (I’m on vacation 😅). And the fresh orange juice is fresh! As I sit here the staff continues to be amazing; asking how I enjoyed meal, offering more coffee, and seem genuinely nice and good people. I would strongly recommend to anyone in the area. (Updated food 4 -> 5 because ate almost all of it and have generally small appetite) PS1 - they have a guest WiFi, which is appreciated PS2 - my servers name was Theodore; a lovely man

“Really good food and service.”

Really good food and service. FYI: if you seat outside the unexpected may happen… we all love dogs, unfortunately the distance between tables is not much and half way through breakfast this Bernese mountain dog almost took away my joy. The cash only option is really important, it’s a resistance to the digital take over and the obscene credit card processing profiteering which overtime kills the restaurant business. Also the place was packed, a wait line out of the door, what an impressive success after 20 plus years braving a neighborhood like Uptown, not my favorite despite being so close to the lake!

“I came here for a solo late breakfast on a Monday.”

I came here for a solo late breakfast on a Monday. I had the regular eggs benedict on gluten-free toast. Also had iced Chai latte with regular milk. I always appreciate starting with the complimentary coffee cake. I usually get the warm apple compote too. The waitress was warm, friendly and attentive. The food had excellent flavor. I always feel like I am treating myself when I dine here. I only wish they would open earlier. Note they only take cash.

“Overall this place is great.”

Overall this place is great. Unique vibe… it’s like NYC lower east side, very cool place. Seams like a place full of artists and eccentrics. Staff was great, helpful. My only dislike was my steak was dry, but it didn’t ruin my meal. The warm fruit appetizer and the sweet bread were both delicious. If your an artists this place is a must.

“Sunday brunch while visiting.”

Sunday brunch while visiting. It was packed but we only waited like 15 minutes. Extensive menu offering original dishes. There is also a bar and the bloody Mary's look amazing. We tried quiche, lox, asparagus omelette and pancakes. Every dish was excellent. The lox platter is gorgeous. Plenty of fruit was offered and the coffee was so good. Reasonably priced too. A must try if visiting.

“Tweet is a fantastic spot for brunch.”

Tweet is a fantastic spot for brunch! We enjoyed their Eggs Benedict and Portland omelette, both cooked to perfection. The coffee was rich and flavorful, complementing the meal beautifully. The ambience is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect place to catch up with old friends. What stood out most was the relaxed vibe—we never felt rushed, which added to the overall experience. The service was exceptional, with the staff being attentive and friendly throughout. Whether you're looking for a casual brunch or a spot to connect with loved ones, Tweet delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend checking it out!"

“My absolute favorite brunch place in not just Chicago, but anywhere.”

My absolute favorite brunch place in not just Chicago, but anywhere. Food is consistently excellent and the service is even better (Rex is outstanding, but really all of the staff are wonderful). Love the free cake appetizers, fruit cups, eclectic tea pots... can't wait to go again.

“Went here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised.”

Went here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! For me, the things I look for first and foremost when dining out is comfortability, accessibility, and variety. I liked that Tweet (super cute name) which was super easy to locate, wasn’t super busy on a Tuesday morning, and there were just a few people scattered about enjoying coffees and little cakes. You’re greeted at the door, and then promptly seated and the walls are covered in pictures! The entire restaurant has this cozy, cool feeling and the staff is all friendly and accommodating. The menu has lots of breakfast and lunch options, and is perfect for a picky eater (😭) like me. I ordered pancakes and bacon; a classic! I only wish my bacon was slightly less crispy (I know, insane) but otherwise everything was delicious and I would recommend this spot! I loved that there were people sitting alone enjoying breakfast and reading books, this place definitely gave that comforting, warm feeling! We will definitely visit again!

First morning in Chicago I checked out this spot for breakfast because I heard it was good. The food here is great, love how they refill your coffee instead of charging per cup, whole staff is super sweet. Great place, and yum! (Get the pumpkin pancakes)!
