Some noted
We had high expectations as we stopped by the day before for breakfast but it was completely booked with existing reservations.
Waited nearly 60 min after being seated for the food that should have taken 20 min max to serve.

Everyone was very attentive, very beautiful place, although croissant has a lot of work to improve it,very dense, doughy and flat, no flaky at all, I will give 4/10. Even the Almont cream was not great.I am trying every croissant in the city, and this, didn’t pass my test. I beg you do not do croissants like this.

My experience at The Lunchroom was elevated by the exceptional service provided by Drew M. From the moment we arrived, Drew’s warm demeanor and impeccable interpersonal skills set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. His attention to detail, personalized recommendations, and genuine enthusiasm created a welcoming atmosphere. The Lunchroom itself is a unique gem, offering a blend of inviting ambiance and creative cuisine, but Drew’s outstanding customer service truly set it apart. He effortlessly balanced professionalism with a friendly touch, ensuring every aspect of our meal was perfect. It’s rare to encounter someone who genuinely enhances the dining experience, but Drew M. did exactly that. Highly recommend and will recommend to my friends!

“I'm in town visiting Chicago for a conference and stopped by for a quick lunch.”
I'm in town visiting Chicago for a conference and stopped by for a quick lunch. Kira and Saad were quick and helpful with service. I ordered the Gold Coast Tuna melt. The presentation was actually beautiful. The food didn't take too long and was delicious. There's also a small shopping space which has cute clothes and knick knacks while you wait or after you eat. Ill return and I Highly recommend!

We spontaneously stopped in to this cute little hidden gem to kill some time, decided to have a small bite. We had been here a few times previously checking out the unusual gifts, and clothing, but never to eat. My husband and I each had a soup which was delicious and after reading through the menu, we will definitely be back for some thing other than just soup. I highly recommend. This might become our new little hidden, local hideout.

I had a scrumptious greek flatbread with honey, pistachios and kalamatas and a garden salad w beets, radishes, goat cheese, cornbread croutons and sunflower seeds. And both were equally wonderful. Tasty green juice. Really cool atmosphere too.

“An amazing gem which can be easily missed in the area.”
An amazing gem which can be easily missed in the area. They have a good selection for breakfast and brunch as well as good cocktails and wine selections. A standard but decent coffee bar with classic bakery items as well. Great cozy outdoor seating really adds to the ambience. Service was decent.

The breakfast quesadilla was SO incredibly delicious. It was also very filling. The tumeric Chai latte was equally incredible and hit the spot!
