Cozy little place in Crystal Lake. First time going there and I'll definitely be going back.
I had a pumpkin chai tea that was very tasty and a gluten free oatmeal creme sandwich. There were many gluten free options which is rare for coffee shops!
This is not a celiac friendly environment. If food sensitivity and allergies are a concern, go somewhere else. My server was irritated at my enquiries. And now I am paying for it.
I’ve lived in Crystal Lake for about 5 years now, and Breaking Bread has my favorite rueben, hands-down. Meat and kraut are what you’d expect, but this place really shines with the cheese and bread. Delicious melty swiss and fluffy rye with a nice, exterior crunch. The 80s dad-rock playlist is a plus for me, and my gluten-free partner highly recommends their celiac-safe options. Crystal lake staple.
I Ordered a breakfast quesadilla which was delicious! A little under $13. I wanted to try their gluten-free waffle. I asked for just one waffle with nothing on it. The charge for that simple plain waffle was a little under $16.
A coffee is $4.75 and iced tea as well.
The server took forever to take our order and only did so because I had to get his attention to come to our table.
Though my quesadilla was pretty good, I will not be back because I would not be able to afford it! Prices are ridiculous!
I forgot to mention that a regular waffle was a little over five dollars but gluten-free $16.
The bill for just my order was a little over $41!
One of my favorite coffee shops in the area! No matter how busy they are, my drinks always come out fantastic and I never have to wait long. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming every time I come in. Also as someone with a dairy allergy, I’m very happy to see they carry Rosie’s Gluten Free Treats (which not all, but a good majority of products are dairy free).
Top notch breakfast/ brunch / lunch place! They have options for everyone! The service was great! They had a parking lot so it was easy to just park and walk in. The place is fairly large but I can see it getting busy on weekends. We got there at 130 on a Sunday and there wasn’t a wait, and they were closing soon but they didn’t rush us at all! The food was really good and I’m so happy we tried it and they had gluten free options!
This just might be my new favorite coffee place! The pumpkin spice latte was absolutely amazing! They have gluten-free items, and the staff was so so sweet!!
We love that this is real food and that taste is amazing you can get gluten free items so easily and switch out Dairy if you need to and the flavor is still there
I've ordered for them several times But I'm gluten free and dairy Free at one time the order was messed up just one time only out of like 10 times I've ordered they paid for the whole meal And sent me a new one There are good company and good quality food
