Wake ‘n Bacon — american in Lakeview worth a stop for the Bacon. Come for the food, stay for the energy. Worth ordering a drink, because the bar holds its own. Stalisa: "Especially the bacon which is so amazingly flavored to perfection, juicy and thick cut" [$$, patio]

☀️Patio — a Lakeview classic in summer.

The place is beautiful and full of positive energy. The food and the mimosas are delicious. You get a view of beautiful weather and they have swings you can sit on outside. Everything was great will be coming back soon. Thank you for your wonderful service and humor kay !

Super cute place! Love the atmosphere and the staff was really polite. Food was great and it was nice to try new things and not the same menu as every place around. Thickest bacon I’ve ever had! Definitely coming back to try more!

Supper pretty, the food was hardy and delicious. Honestly a beautiful location to relax. Would definitely recommend. The food itself reminds me of a Studio Ghibli film

So this place was cool we came in and sat down and ordered our food from a QR code you also paid from a QR code. Overall the food was Good but not Great. Nothing to run home and talk about, but it was good. We had the bacon appetizer as well as the chicken and waffles and The pancakes, bacon, and eggs. The coffee was really good, as well as the turmeric ginger tea. I also bought the oatmeal butterscotch, chocolate cookies, which was advertised as homemade so they sounded worth trying. However upon making it back to the hotel, I decided to eat a piece of one of the cookies and it was hard as a rock and must have been made three to four days ago at least. I wouldn't recommend the cookies unless you feel them first and they feel soft. The vibe was ok, however nothing spectacula. Not the place if your looking for good music and mimosa. Service was cool, if you press the button under the table then somebody will come and service you as soon as possible pretty cool concept, I would return! Parking is always stressful because you're in Chicago however there is a there is a parking garage across the street. It cost $30 for up to two hours!
