"They have a full breakfast and lunch menu, but I always get breakfast, usually an omelette or the chilaquiles. If you want a carb splurge, the monte cristo waffle is obscene. Last week we each had the build your own omelette (choose three ingredients from lots of options), and they were perfect. I substituted the potatoes and bread for ripe and juicy tomatoes (still nine pounds of Covid weight left to lose). We had a great waitperson. She refilled our coffee three times without having to ask. Street parking... there are a few free spots but the easiest are the paid ones on Milwaukee. They seem to do a ton of pick-up and delivery orders here, which is especially in the winter."

All the breakfast options were delicious, and the service was excellent. We enjoyed all the classic breakfast favorites: pancakes, an omelette, and eggs Benedict.

This was my first time eating here and it was a good experience. Carlos (I think that was his name) was a great server super friendly) He made sure the food came out as it should and we didn't need anything else. Good food but coffee is a 3/5.

Finding parking was a challenge. Despite that, the first-come, first-served policy got us seated in just 15 minutes on Father’s Day. Every dish we tried was delicious. We sat outside in a cozy nook, so it was understandable that our service was a bit slower than usual. I’m pleased to be a returning customer at both locations. The great food and friendly staff will definitely keep me coming back.

Great ambience, friendly staff and lovely tasting food that has fortunately *touchwood* hasn?t changed in the last so many years. Their collection of freshly squeezed juices is a must try. We also had their veggie skillet and eggs sardou and were very happy with the brunch experience. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. PS. This place is famous with the locals so come early or prepare to wait for a little while : View menu

We had an amazing breakfast on July 2, 2023, with Carlos as our wonderful server. First, we arrived soaking wet from a heavy rain, and the hostess was kind enough to provide us with towels. Carlos then assisted us in choosing our breakfast, sharing his own recommendations based on what he had tried. Everything was just right for a rainy Sunday in Chicago. We especially enjoyed the special pancakes, Penelope’s Peaches. Delicious!

SUPER busy in the mornings, looks like they're understaffed. The service is just okay, some of the hosts are a bit rude. The food is not bad, but every time my friends and I have come here something we order gets messed up. I've ordered the smoked salmon bagel benedict on multiple occasions, and I don't really like the potatoes it comes with onions are undercooked so I substitute it with fries (there is a sub fee even if the side you want is cheaper than the side the entree comes with) Overall I'd say this is a pretty solid place in terms of food. Huge menu, but small downfalls are the service and consistency.

"Tempesta is arguably one of the best sandwich shops in the city. They make a lot of their meats in house and use high quality ingredients so you know you’re getting the good stuff. Not only can you get a great sandwich, you can purchase most of their meats to go as well as other small artisanal grocery items. I have tried almost every sandwich they have on the menu but my top two choices would be the #1 The Dante and the #2 Yo! Vincenzo! The Dante is their version of a classic Italian sandwich but a bit on the spicier side. The Yo Vincenzo is a chicken parm and I personally think it’s the best chicken parm sandwich in the city. The chicken is perfectly crispy, and they use just the right amount of sauce where it doesn’t get soggy. Both of these sandwiches come on their fresh baguette which helps set them apart from other sandwich spots in Chicago just because of how good it is. The B Franklin is also a great option, and if you’re starving get the Wagyu Pastrami but be warned it is a very heavy sandwich because of that Wagyu. The last pro tip I’ll add in here is order your sandwich ahead of time if you’re doing takeout. This is a very popular spot and is always busy during the lunch rush so if you wait to order until you arrive you may need to wait for 10-15 minutes. That should speak to how good this place is because it’s in such high demand, so if you’re in Chicago make sure you stop in!"
