First visit. Went on a Saturday at 1 ( they close at 2:30) put our names on waitlist online so hardly any wait. Lots of choices for many different diets- vegetarian, gluten free, etc. It was busy so it was quite loud but I guess that’s unavoidable. Prices are high. You can see them online. 3 of us ate breakfast, 2 coffees, 1 soda, and 2 biscuit appetizers- $125 with tip. Our waitress was great except our food was given to us by someone else and we asked them for butter (none was brought with pancakes) and extra syrup but never got it. Tried to get the guys attention to no luck and finally flagged our waitress down. Overall a fine breakfast with solid choices but in my opinion not worth the cost.

11/10! Their servers were excellent, particularly Carter who was attentive and so friendly to our group. They had the biggest gluten free menu I've ever seen, although I would have liked for vegetarian/vegan-possible options to have been marked. The food was absolutely scrumptious and very fresh, even the fruit. Can't wait to be back!

Grabbed an iced caramel latte and a cold brew with oat. The latte tasted VERY strongly of burnt coffee. The cold brew was OK. Food options for GF/Celiac's folks are rough here. The gluten-free toast is definitely Naperville-priced (for those not familiar with their 'burbs, I'm trying to say the pricing was somewhere between "ouch" and "boing!" [For those not familiar with a classic "White Christmas" reference, I'm saying it's expensive]). Butters tastes good though - not worth the price of admission, but tasty nonetheless.

Stopped in to get a loaf of bread. Love the simple ingredients used to bake this loaf! This bread is moist and delicious. There were so many different breads and cookies to choose from. Gluten free options available as well. I even saw some dog treats! I was very disciplined, and bought only what I came for. Don’t know if I’ll be able to do that next time!

Still the same as I remember from 20 years ago. Food was decent, service left much to be desired, and prices were fair. Happy to see that they have added GF pancakes as my son has Celiac and he said they were really good.

Wow!!! I wanted to get a gluten-free desert and saw this place. Amazing! 3 different gluten-free options were left, we got there 2 hours before closing. Got some goodies to bring home. Had our desserts in the restaurant. I can't wait to go back. Their Cakes, chocolate mousse is amazing 👏 and caramel 😋 sooo good!

Not a ton of gluten free options, but hey, "Bread" is in the name. What gluten free options there are though are pretty tasty. It's also just a cozy place to enjoy a chat with friends over lunch.
