Honeybear Cafe Chicago Reviews
Mind blown! Service, food, ambience was five stars.
Wait time was very accurate. Food came out very quickly. Portions were huge. My husband and I could have ordered 1 plate and shared.
I tried the chilaquiles trio with steak and over-easy eggs,
I tried the chilaquiles trio with steak and over-easy eggs, and the portions were huge--definitely tons of food. The steak and eggs were solid, but the chilaquiles themselves felt a bit Americanized, made with regular tortilla chips and only lightly

I was blown away by this place! It was packed on a Thursday afternoon. During my brunch, there were six shoutouts for birthdays, lol! The breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu was extensive. Indecisively, I went with the pancake sampler and omigod was it
What a wonderful place to have breakfast staff was so nice
What a wonderful place to have breakfast staff was so nice and it was so clean in there if I could give a 10 stars I would.
Hands down.
.. the BEST breakfast place near Chicago. It does get busy and crowded, so I recommend making a reservation. However, they give out complimentary cheesecakes... what's not to love?! Their portions are huge and there is ALWAYS people taking lefto
I enjoy this restaurant.
Yes, to avoid an extensive wait time it would be best to make reservations. I wouldn't come hungry incase you do have to wait. I would encourage trying the French toast flight to share and something else on the menu. For example the cajun catfis
Family friendly atmosphere with a ginormous menu of options.
They immediately serviced us with a cup of drip coffee and chocolates before giving a few minutes to read the variety of options. The Southwest omelette and Mexican quesadilla were huge and we could barely finish it. We were recommended to try the Fr

Incredible brunch spot in Chicago! A must try is the French toast flight, it's famous for a reason. Since it's such a popular spot, I recommend eating outside in the warmer months for a quieter dining experience and shorter wait time.

Love this place,food is always amazingly good and
Love this place,food is always amazingly good and consistent,the service is upbeat and fun ,the place is 10 out of 10.
The cafe is incredibly loud and uncomfortable.
We had a table in the middle aisle and constantly had a server hanging over us with plates for surrounding tables. It was so loud that it hurt. The savory food was mediocre and the omelets weren't cooked well. The sweet options were fantastic. O

Came at 9am on a Sunday and we didn't have to wait but quickly saw a line forming outside and when we left, there were a LOT of people waiting! It was a very busy brunch spot but rightfully so! There are so many things to choose from the menu!

The food was great! Customer service was wonderful! We made sure to get there early as we didn't have a reservation and were seated within 10 mins! Great experience and will go back next time in Chicago!
Honeybear cafe has really delicious food.
The portions are very big and I usually end up sharing. It tends to be crowded and I would definitely make reservations if possible.

Me and my bestest traveled to Chicago as a surprise for her birthday. The food was amazing and so much that I didn't finish it! We both enjoyed our brunch and the cheesecake bites were delish!
Honeybear is a neighborhood institution.
Great breakfast food, a very fun atmosphere, and huge portions make this a must visit. Make sure you make your reservations or else....

We made reservations based on reviews that this place gets packed. We were seated within 5 minutes. As soon as you are seated, they provide to complimentary cheesecake bites. We ordered the French Toast Trio (flight) and the Tres Leches French Toast.

My wife and I went on a Monday morning at 10 and only had to wait for 5 mins. Once we were inside it was quick service. Food was cooked perfectly. Their French toast trio is a killing. I would recommend getting it. Super fun decorations and vibrant a

FIVE STARS.
This might be the best restaurant I visited on this trip to Chicago. I came on a Monday afternoon and the place was packed. Luckily, we made reservations. Josh was our server, and he was incredible and super friendly. This place is BYOB, so we broug
We had a 12:15 PM reservation for two.
Upon arrival,they took our names, said a table would be ready shortly and they would text us. We were seated about 15 minutes later. This place is BYOB so while we waited to be seated we stopped at the liquor store across the street and got some Cut
I almost don't want to write a review.
This place is busy enough..... So far, this was the best breakfast I have ever had from a restaurant. The BEST! It's a smaller place, you'd definitely have to wait if you don't make a reservation.. but it'll be worth whatever wa
Well where do I start.
Ok... bigger is not always better. Everything was too big, not a complaint you will see from most people but the largeness of the plates to me were off putting. The coffee with the bacon and pancake on top were gimmicky. I don't mind a good gimm
I dined here for the first time over the summer.
I. Highly recommend the shrimp po' boy. It was good and the portion given was very reasonable for the price. I dined alone that day but the music playing kept me company. I did have to wait for about 20 minutes for my table but it was worth

(9/12/25) I love this spot for breakfast however customer service could use some improvement. I called and asked if I would be able to get a table later in the day expecting a rough estimate of wait time but was told "I don't know I can�

We tried the iconic French toast flight, which looked impressive, but was honestly a bit bland despite all the toppings. The avocado toast came loaded with veggies, which was nice, but it was also underwhelming in flavor. On the plus side, it came wi

Super yummy! Worth the effort! Set the time aside and you will not be disappointed I promise.

Great service, no wait time with the reservation, quality of food and portion size are top tier!
Honey Bear Cafe was a good stop for breakfast.
The portion sizes were large and definitely filling. The staff and overall atmosphere were okay, nothing to rave about, but the food itself was good and enjoyable.
Food comes in big portions and very tasty.
Restaurant is busy so make sure to make reservations. The French toast flight seems to be their specialty.
We only waited 5 minutes to get in, which was unbelievable
We only waited 5 minutes to get in, which was unbelievable since the place was packed! Other restaurants could learn a thing or two about teamwork from here. The moment someone finished their meal, the staff jumped into action to clear the tables, an

An institution
A Rogers Park institution and it shows! The food is amazing and the ambiance is arguably better. If there on a Sunday, add your name to the wait list about 30 minutes before you need to be there!
There's a reason why this place is mobbed seemingly all the time.
Overall, great experience.... Great food, large portions...you will NOT leave hungry, nice atmosphere and the service was great. I got the patty melt and fries...but they weren't your standard issue fries! They were crispy, double fried, t
Make a reservation, you will be glad you did!
This place was absolutely amazing! I had the strawberry French toast and it was the best I have ever had and I have been to a lot of places. My daughter and her boyfriend share some chilaquiles and it was massive and so good! I would go here at least
Breakfast Bonanza
If you like breakfast, you’ll love this place. Waffles, pancakes, French toast, crepes, omelets, skillets and that’s just for starters. Good coffee, helpful friendly servers, cool decor, mellow atmosphere (but busy and sometimes loud). The menu i
Excellent food and service.
Stopped in for breakfast. Really cute restaurant. Excellent food. Omelette was huge and fluffy, salsa verde had great flavor. We had Enrique as our server, excellent service also!
STAY & WAIT
This place is probably the best brunch I have ever had! The menu is tough, cause there seems to now be a bad thing on it! No worries, Heather, the waitress, will help guide you to an amazing meal! The portions are massive, but so are the flavors! Lis
Best breakfast in Chicago!
What a great find in Rogers Park! We had a party of 6 and had a reservation. (I recommend a reservation as this place can get busy.) We were seated promptly and started with cheesecake bits with our coffee. Delicious! We tried the french toast s
Breakfast Time!
I received a mini chocolate chip cheesecake upon arrival. It was delicious after breakfast dessert. I ordered the RP Strong and couldn’t finish the large meal in one sitting. The french toast and scramblers will be my next choice to try. Lovely atm
Extensive menu
I was impressed with the sheer amount of choices for breakfast. Upon arrival the bite size pieces of strawberry shortcake were a nice touch, the service was very good and the food was even better. Prepare for a wait during prime times as from I was t
Connect with users posting reservations for Honeybear Cafe Chicago
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Honeybear Cafe Chicago. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Honeybear Cafe Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Honeybear Cafe Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousFish68, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FamousFish68 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousFish68 for any questions Peter may have as FamousFish68 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousFish68 now uses their connections at Honeybear Cafe Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousFish68 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousFish68 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousFish68's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Honeybear Cafe Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
