Elly's Brunch & Cafe (Mundelein)

"If you’re from the area, you know Elly’s. Neighborhood staple since forever ago, and gets better with age. Known for their food, but their barista team is legendary, as well. Pop in and say hi to my good friend Pete, who will make you, like he makes me, feel welcome and like family, every time ."

"This is a wonderful place to eat for breakfast, brunch or lunch. The service is great and the food is always top-notch. Pete, the owner, welcomes you and makes sure you are taken care of. He did our family a great kindness recently in helping us with a situation in his restaurant. Someone in our party lost their cell phone down the back of one of the booths there. Pete took a lot of time, energy and expense to retrieve the cell phone for the member of our family. What an amazing example of customer service! I appreciate his ability to go to great lengths to take care of his customers. I highly recommend this restaurant for its food, service, and kindness of heart! Thank you Pete!"

"Great service, delicious food, good portions! Frittata and pancakes were my favorite. Coffee on the stronger side for me but still good. Waitress was really nice."

"Everything we ordered was good. The fresh made breads and biscuits just made everything so good. We had French Toast, biscuits and gravy and the classic eggs Benedict. The food came out very quickly and was made well. The eggs were poached perfectly. The Restuarant is well kept, clean bathrooms. Ample parking lot available right on Rte 60. The staff was very welcoming, and checked on coffee fill ups often. They could have cleared tables more quickly but really the service was great."

"My family and I we’re staying in Double Tree hotel and we google breakfast places. This spot popped up it was really close like walking distance but we were not from the area so we drove. The place had a very open vibe. The food was good. The orange juice stole the show for me. I never had fresh OJ and let me tell you I rather have fresh than Simply any day now."
