This morning, having read some great reviews, we stepped into West Egg Cafe for brunch. Located conveniently within walking distance from Water Tower Place, this place did not live up to our expectations or it’s previous reviews. Soon after our food arrived, I had to move to the farthest end of my seat to dodge water dripping from ceiling, owing to poor maintenance. Our server paid no heed to my discomfort and casually commented that ‘it happens’. While we tried to ignore the drizzle and enjoy our meal, we found a piece of meat in our vegetarian California Crepe order. Although we got that plate taken out of our check, it ruined my vegetarian fiancé’s morning. The Veggie Benedict and Big Easy were good, but several other cafes in Chicago serve much better pancakes and coffee. We left with a bad first impression!

Good service and delightful biscuits and gravy. Taste took me back to my childhood with grandma at the dinning room table 🤓👍🤗

Yummy little diner in Chicago. Loved “The Big Easy”. Flavorful and while I would have preferred it spicier, that was an easy fix with Tabasco. Fairly priced, especially for Chicago. Would return if in the area again.

First time diners. Walking distance from the DeWitt Hotel. Waiter had menus and a table before we even got into the restaurant. Server was quick and attentive. Plenty of options for every palette. Healthy to not so much. Food came out quickly and was delicious. Steak was a cheaper cut, but that is to be expected. The portions are huge!! Price is in par with the quality and quantity.

Amazing place. They have regular and healthy options. The pancakes were amazing. This place is packed but we were lucky to have waited only less than 5 minutes. Service was also amazing despite being so busy.

Quiet, quaint, homey, and my service was prompt and efficient. My meal was excellently prepared and my overall experience was without fault. Such a refreshing experience considering I'm in downtown Chicago.

Was recommended but our hotel concierge & am very impressed! After a long flight from Texas we were very hungry wanting some breakfast and this place hit the spot! Their menu was very vast and had amazing choices! Great for brunch or breakfast and amazing place for pancakes! I got the egg white scramble and was very impressed. Extremely fast serving and responsive waiters! Not too busy when we went but had a great amount of seating as well. Great location right downtown and very close to our hotel, Aloft on Mag mile! Definitely recommend if you're in the area!
