This is a really fun breakfast spot in the heart of Chicago. I walked there from the Hyatt Regency to grab a quick breakfast. I did not have to wait but the restaurant was pretty busy and there seemed to be a line forming outside by the time I left. I got the pumpkin spice pancakes from the seasonal menu and, while I have a big appetite, I could not even come close to finishing them. They had exceptional flavor. I also got a side of sausage patties and these were absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly and fast and I would highly recommend this place for a filling comfort food type breakfast. I visited Wildberry Pancakes & Café with the family and had a great experience. We ordered the Signature Berry Bliss Pancakes, signature Berry Bliss waffle, Creamy Nutella crape and the Cinnamon Roll Pancake. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Berry Bliss pancakes were fluffy and perfectly balanced, the Nutella waffle was rich and indulgent, and the cinnamon roll pancake tasted just like a warm, comforting cinnamon roll. The café was busy, but the quality of the food made it absolutely worth the wait. Highly recommended for anyone looking for one of the best breakfast spots in Chicago! Absolutely amazing breakfast spot! Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe never disappoints. The food is delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented — especially the signature pancakes and the berry bliss crepes. Portions are generous, and the coffee is always great. The service is friendly and efficient even when it’s busy (which it almost always is). The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, perfect for families, friends, or a casual brunch. Be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours, but it’s totally worth it. One of the best breakfast places in Chicago, hands down!

Wildberry Pancakes & Cafe is a brilliant spot to visit while you are in Chicago. There are two predominant locations, and both are situated in very convenient locations. The best location is by Millennium Park [The Bean] and the atmosphere here is vibrant and lively! Amazing inside seating, with spectacular natural lighting, and a very social outdoor patio. This location is the spot to be! You will get all the positive vibes out of this place, especially for brunch with friends, or an afternoon bite during your visit. The pancakes are massive, fluffy, and flavorful; complete with berries, maple syrup, and whipped butter, be ready to share! I would recommend the seasonal lattes. That is, the signature seasonal lattes are masterfully prepared, served in large mugs, and topped with whipped cream and dashes of spices and chocolates. Wildberry Pancakes is a very accessible place to indulged in a quality experience. There are many servers, bussers, baristas, and cooks working to ensure a quick service of some fantastic dishes!

Wildberry… listen. i knew it was popular, but when we pulled up & saw 52 people ahead of us, I thought we were about to age in that line. but somehow these people run a waitlist like the TSA should’ve 30 minutes later we were inside eating like royalty. i ordered the Veggie Omelette & the Chocolate Chip Banana pancakes, & man… this is breakfast that makes you rethink your life choices. Fluffy pancakes, loaded omelette, everything fresh — they don’t miss. I brought my friends with me and even THEY were impressed, and they’re picky with everything. We left no crumbs. Literally. Portions are big, service is good, and now I get why this place has a mountain of reviews. Wildberry isn’t just breakfast, it’s an experience. 10/10 would wait in line again.
