Pretty good food. I hope they don’t expect a tip though. We stood in line to order food, had to get our own water and had to get our own silverware. Someone brought us our food. So didn’t feel it necessary to tip.
Most perfect breakfast. I miss this place so much! I look forward to going when I come to Chicago and recommend it to everyone I come across that is heading to Chicago. I truly wish this place would open for dinner! I would spend breakfast/lunch/dinner there for my trips!So, yeah, sometimes if you come during the PEAK RUSH HOURS you might have a bit of a wait, but isn’t that the case with any place you dine? The food is beyond worth it and it is a cozy, energetic, vibrant cafe. Of all my travels around the world this cafe is truly one of the best.
At best meh. The system of ordering in line then sitting for the quasi server/busboy experience is chaotic and confusing. The waits feel uncomfortably long given that you are standing or huddled in an awkward tight spots, as if you’ve just arrived on ellis island and are looking for relocation status. The food has some shining stars, the bagels and lox and the egg dish has a good texture, but honestly not worth the hoo ha. I’d say look elsewhere. For bagels try NYC bagels or bagel on damen and for brunch Wishbone or orange trumps this literal hole in the wall. Oh and what others have said about the abrasive attitude is true.
Mmm mmm good. I have a love/hate relationship with Milk and Honey. 90% of the time, I receive great service with a smile and the food is delicious. The other 10% of the time, I encounter a handful of rude people that work here. I don’t get it…you are in the SERVICE INDUSTRY. If you don’t like talking about food, helping people or serving them, QUIT. There are plenty of people in this city who need jobs and would have a way better attitude than you. Seriously.Now that my rant is over, a few things awesome about a recent visit:1) Best iced tea in the city. 2) It is a great place to people-watch and have brunch on a gorgeous day. The interior is bright and sunny too.3) Decent specials that rotate frequently.Dislikes:1) Some of the staff should leave their ‘tudes at the door.2) Somewhat disorganized when it is busy and people are trying to order.Overall, super deec, check it out. My girl loves the Peanut Butter dessert bar and I’m sure most chicks would too. Fyi.
Long wait, with rude service. Not kid friendly, in fact you may get eyerolls if you bring kids. Food is decent, but not worth the atmosphere.
So worth it. I love the homemade granola bars.
Not worth it…. They were so busy when we went there that after waiting for 40 minutes, we sat down at a dirty table, they did not to seem to be child-friendly, our order came but it was not all that we ordered. We ate feeling that these sandwiches were like those you get at a major supermarket–dull and mediocre. We did not understand what the fuss was all about. We could have paid the same or less for better sandwiches and a soup somewhere else and would have had a better experience without rudeness.
