Blackberry Bistro

“gotta say tehir salmon Benedict was exceptional - perfectly flaked smoked salmon over poached eggs with hollandaise that complemented the fish instead of hiding it. salmon was clearly quality and they knew how to handle it”

“for real home fries were underseasoned and too soft lacked crispy edges and herb seasoning would've made them actually restaurant quality instead of cafeteria style”

“open until 230pm on friday and 3pm on weekends WHICH saves me when i need that late afternoon breakfast after a rough night honestly”

“tbh they close at 2pm sharp on weekdays so if youre running late for lunch youre out of luck which is frustrating”

“staff was really accommodating about ingredient questions and offered to modify stuff for my dietary needs. their vegetarian hash was actually flavorful and filling prepared wiht clear care and attention to halal ha”

“wait time during weekend brunch was way longer than they said like 45 minutes standing outside and they told us 20 minutes”

“this place is a lifesaver for parents - kids eat free on sundays the portions are huge and they dont mind when my youngest makes a mess with the pancakes trust me”

“no high chairs available when we visited which made feeding the toddler more challenging than it needed to be soo good”

“best coffee in the glenview area honestly - they know how to pull a proper shot and their house blend has this nutty finish that goes perfectly with their blueberry pancakes. finally a neighborhood spot that cares about both the food and the coffee”

“def seating is cramped especially on weekend mornings when everyone wants brunch. waited 15 minutes jsut to squeeze into a tiny two-top”

“they actually have a separate gluten-free menu with real options not just sad salads - the gf pancakes taste like actual pancakes and dont fall apart”

“limited cross-contamination PROTOCOLS so i wouldnt trust this place if you have severe celiac disease honestly wow”

“their spicy breakfast sausage actually has real kick - not just black pepper but actual spices that build as you eat. paired perfectly with their fluffy scrambled eggs to balance out the heat”

“orange juice tasted like straight concentrate no fresh citrus brightness at all which is disappointing for a place that clearly cares about quality ingredients everywhere else”
