Breakfast House
3001 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Breakfast House is a beloved neighborhood gem where the details matter—from charming salt and pepper shakers to thoughtfully crafted dishes like their standout chorizo hash and made-to-order omelets that showcase quality ingredients and creative twists (vegan chorizo included). The spacious, welcoming atmosphere makes it equally perfect for a leisurely solo coffee moment or lingering with friends over a grapefruit mimosa, and their generous portions and extensive menu mean there's something for everyone to discover. With a solid 4.6-star rating and a dog-friendly patio, it's the kind of reliably excellent spot that keeps people coming back—even if they've driven past it for years without stopping in.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Dog friendly.

Good classic brunch options with lots to choose from. The chilaquiles and the chorizo hash are both great, and the omelettes are tasty. Good reliable spot that gets busy on weekends, so would suggest planning around that.
I came here for breakfast and tried the chorizo hash with vegan chorizo. The flavors were bold, the portion size was generous, and I really appreciated that they had a vegan option for the chorizo, it was seasoned well and didn’t feel like a compromise. The potatoes were crispy…
