Café Robey

“An excellent place for a pre-theater dinner that won't put you to sleep. We had French toast and shrimp and grits; the French toast reminded me of the famous version served on the Super Chief back in the day, and the shrimp and grits was garnished with pickled fennel and not too spicy. I would definitely go back again.”

“Visiting from out of state and I'd had a few reviews of the cafe pop up on TikTok. It was only about a 10 minute walk from my airbnb so I decided to try it. I visited alone on a Saturday around 11:30 and it was pretty busy. Thankfully bar seating available and I was able to wait to sit, sit, and order in about 15 minutes (your experience may vary with group size + events). I orded the oatchata latte and the egg sandwich. The food maybe took 10 minutes to arrive and my server was very friendly and kept checking on me. The oatchata was really flavorful and sweet but not too sweet with a nice cinnamon flavor. The egg sandwich came out hot and with plenty of cheese. I think the egg was over easy and the yolk was runny, the sausage was cooked well and not dry, but I couldn't taste the caramelized onions but they were there. The hash browns were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I would definitely visit again if I came back to Chicago.”

“Great cafe with coffee and a full cocktail menu that serves all day brunch. I'd make a reservation as the place is not very big and tends to be busy for brunch hours. We started with the whipped ricotta (5/5) and it was unreal, highly recommended. The chicken sandwich and fries (5/5) were great, I'd order this again in a heartbeat. My wife did a half order of blueberry pancakes, which is one pancake, and a side order of sausage. They were also very good and the blueberry's were smashed into the pancake. I also did their espresso martini which was great, and they also made a great old fashioned. This is our go-to recommendation for anyone looking for brunch in the area.”

“I ate at this restaurant while visiting my daughter in Chicago. The breakfast was very delicious but the star of the show and the reason I will always keep this restaurant on my radar is for the maple glazed chicken sausage. Ive honestly not had anything like it and it was absolutely delicious!”

“We came in for a late dinner and loved the food and drinks. It might be a “brunch place,” but there are plenty of options for different cravings. I got the Mafaldine Pasta with burrata, but I’m excited to try the roasted salmon next time. The service was friendly and quick!”
