Great way to end the weekend with my sisters. I had the chicken chilli with onions, cheese, avocado and side chips. My siblings had the eggs Benedict and grits with veggie sausage. They were quick and polite. Thank you Windy City Cafe.

“Windy City Cafe prepared for me the fluffiest egg-white omelette I’ve had in years (maybe the fluffiest ever).”

Windy City Cafe prepared for me the fluffiest egg-white omelette I’ve had in years (maybe the fluffiest ever). A generous portion, light and delicious, with salmon and chives. Service was very nice, efficient, and accommodating. Would happily dine here again.

“Delicious brunch food.”

Delicious brunch food! We checked in at the front and there was a 15 minute wait, so we spent some time on the patio outside. We were nicely seated in a booth. The menu was extensive, including both sweet and savory items. I got the Brioche French Toast, which was delicious and came with berry compote as well as maple syrup. The portion sizes were great. Would return for a nice Sunday brunch.
