Wildberry Pancakes and Cafe — top-tier brunch & breakfast in Streeterville. Loud in the best way, with real pulse to the room. The produce quality stands out immediately, and vegetarian-friendly. Patricia Brown: "The stack came with fresh berries and a sweet mascarpone filling that balanced perfectly with the berry coulis" [$$]

🌱Vegan & vegetarian friendly — real options, not one sad pasta.

We ate here while visiting Chicago. The ambiance, food, and service were worth the trip. Although it was very busy, our experience was seamless. We'll definitely stop there again in our travels to Chicago and would recommend anyone to try the place out for yourself. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

A really good choice if you are very hungry, or even if you're not. Pleasant outdoor dining. Great service, and generous portions.

ZOOOOO WEEEEE MAMA (also, its nice that you can order drinks from the cafe while you wait for a table (because you will have to wait) and if you get seated in that time theyll bring the drinks to the table)

Food was so so good. Tables a little cramped together. Would definitely go back again...Oops I already did go back, to get another turtle mocha over ice 😁

This is simply the perfect local spot when you want a slammin breakfast instead of a vibey brunch. Ya know? Sometimes you don't want the fancy benedict or shakshuka with bottomless mimosas - you just want the best omelet, hash browns and pancakes in the city. Life hack: this place gets super busy, especially on weekends, but you can get on the waitlist ahead of time through Yelp. :) A shout out to the staff - everyone here works extraordinarily hard, from the hosts to servers to the bussers. Tip them well because they deserve it and make your experience better.

Super yummy pancakes! Huge portions definitely good for sharing. Their seasoned fries were a bit funky but edible lol. The egg was well cooked. The Hazelnut Oatmilk cappuccino was beyond yummy! I’d recommend it.

Food was fantastic, portions are massive so contemplate sharping a dish.

The food was amazing and the portions were really generous as well. We had a reservation for 8 people and they kept us very well served.

The portions are generous, and the menu is extensive. The service was impeccable. It's not just sweet food; they have savory options too. Highly recommended, especially with kids.

Wow Wow Wow!!!!! I couldn’t say enough good things about our breakfast. As soon as we got there we were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. AJ was our sever and he was super friendly and knowledgeable. We order and our food was our right away. Our food was nice and warm with great flavor. I loved that all of the ingredients were fresh, that really makes the difference. My fruit was also very fresh and cold. Would definitely recommend Wildberry for your next breakfast spot!

It is recommended to make a reservation in advance, as queues are generally not required on non-weekend days. Consistent in its exceptional flavor, as always. If you have a small appetite, it is recommended that you order one main dish and a side dish, which should be plenty satisfying . Avoid Food Waste.😁
