Crema's Take
“This cash-only breakfast spot is beloved by regulars for its corned beef (featured on Chicago's Best) and a genuinely warm owner who treats customers like neighbors—the kind of place where the waitress will confidently steer you toward the daily special instead of what you planned to order. The sidewalk special offers real value, and the consistent, friendly service across years of visits keeps people coming back, which explains why longtime patrons seem almost protective of how good it is.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

My favorite spot in Chicago to grab breakfast with friendly and familiar faces. Angelo, the owner and operator, treats patrons like neighbors and is always accomodating. The prices are very reasonable and the homemade quality and effort stands out everytime. It's the best…
**CASH ONLY** Classic breakfast joint known for their corned beef. They were featured on Chicago’s Best for this. The corned beef was very tasty and the jelly for the toast was great. Very friendly and speedy service.
Try it, you’ll like it!! I’m convinced the only reason this place doesn’t have more reviews is that the “regulars” and people who know how good this place is are not the kinds that leave reviews. We LOVED our first time at Yellow Rose! Sara our server greeted us when we…
