Bongo Room

I have been here twice, and each time the service and food have been excellent. The fact that there are plenty of vegetarian options is a relief, since I often dine with non-meat-eaters. The breakfast burrito and tomatillo salsa scramble are both tasty. It can be busy, but I have always had prompt, polite service.

Bongo Room is an amazing brunch spot with a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Their pancakes are seriously some of the best I’ve ever had — fluffy, creative, and full of flavor. The staff is always cheerful and quick, even when it’s packed. It’s definitely one of those places you look forward to coming back to on a lazy weekend morning.

Hands down one of the coziest and tastiest breakfast experiences in Chicago! 🥞💘nWhere do I even begin… Mr. Edgar welcomed us right away with so much kindness that we instantly knew we were in for a wonderful morning. Then came the banana latte - warm, smooth, and just so amazing. Then the most delicious benedicts (and I also love how many options they have for every craving!). And yep, the white chocolate & caramel pretzel pancakes absolutely stole our hearts!nAnd of course, who am I to say no to a good matcha? 🍵 The pistachio matcha was such a perfect addition to everything!!nThis place truly has our hearts and we already cannot wait to be back! Thank you, Edgar and the team 🌟

Our first time here was way back in 2008 and we have been about three times since. Never disappoints. Always amazing. Everything made from scratch. We each order a savory dish and split a sweet dish, like the cranberry lemencello pancakes. We come here every time we are in Chicago. Literally the best breakfast I have ever had.

Super delicious. So refreshing to find a place that still makes all the food from scratch. We tried a variety of pancakes and also enjoyed the eggs Benedict. Everything was great
