Best eggs ever!!! – We went for breakfast on Sunday and had a blast. The staff was friendly and outgoing. Our server was awesome. I wish I could remember his name. The food was exceptional and great tasting. I have found my once a week place to go and enjoy a great breakfast. The atmosphere was robust with laughter and conversation. I loved it. I would recommend to anyone looking for that very metro feeling cafe with great food.

Best Breakfast in Chicago. – We are not from Chicago, but frequently travel there. We discovered the West Egg Cafe while on a trip and now we stop in every time we are in Chicago for one of the most "Eggseptional" breakfasts ChiTown has to offer. Always ask for Rod. He's always taken care of us and is a great host! No matter what your heart desires, you'll find it on their menu and there are no disappointments here. They have everything for the heart and healthy to the very scrumptious. The kitchen is skilled and expedites e... read more

Terrible customer service – First time I tried ordering I was placed on hold for 10 min, once I placed the order, the girl read it back to me and asked me to wait to give me a total. 9.5 min later someone else picked up the phone and asked If she could help with something. I find it unacceptable that it took almost 20 min just to place an order.

Disappointing – I just moved to Streeterville from Lake View and I've been on the hunt for a breakfast place to replace Stella's Diner my old favorite. West Egg certainly seemed promising, but unfortunately disappointed. I've tried WE three times now and my issues were the same each time. When you walk in, the waiters ask "how many" and then take you to a table. For the most part the waiters aren't very friendly, but they aren't rude either. I am usually alone for breakfast and I like to read the paper...a 4-top is always be... read more

YUM! – I was in Chicago in August and we ate at West Egg Cafe every day. They have a variety of breakfast and lunch foods, and everything is great. They use a lot of spinach, feta, tomato, avocado, and other tasty, healthy stuff that is much better than your average breakfast restaurant. Vegetarians have a good selection also, and one of my favorites is their side dish of fresh strawberries with whipped cream. Try to go during the week because it is busy, but it's worth the wait on the weekend!

BEST OF THE BEST – I would like to consider myself a breakfast connoisseur, as I do a lot of early morning dining. This place, although a tremendously long line, was well worth the wait. We got there around 9:30 on a Saturday, big mistake if you are seeking a quick meal, we were told to wait 25 minutes. After sifting through the menu though we were more than willing to wait. If early morning reaaaaly good omelets are your thing than this is your place in the Windy City. Only negative thing was, and this was our own fault, av... read more

Comfortable coffee shop off Michigan Avenue serves breakfast all day. – In Short This popular breakfast stop for businesspeople and tourists from nearby hotels also attracts a shopping crowd at lunch. Topping the breakfast menu are signature skillet dishes with potatoes, meat, veggies, cheese and two eggs. The filling Grabowski features a large grilled Polish sausage, topped with onion and cheese, served with two eggs and potatoes. Other morning options include omelets, pancakes and French toast. For lunch, choose from sandw... read more

Soooo tas-TEE – I miss this place soooo much. Years ago, I used to work nearby and would go about once a week for blueberry pancakes *drool* or oatmeal *mmmmm* or chicken on a pita *yum*. Everything I ever ate there was just intensely satisfying. Many times there is a wait, but it's usually not too long.

breakfast food that can't be beat West Egg Cafe is a breakfast and lunch only restaurant that has great food at very cheap prices. I have always gotten a wonderful breakfast there and come out way too full. The portions are hearty and so good that you won't want to stop eating. It is usually very busy, so don't expect a table right away, but the food is worth it.
