Wake ‘n Bacon
420 W Belmont Ave, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“Wake 'n Bacon is a playful, Instagram-worthy brunch spot where bold, colorful decor and creative ceiling installations set the tone for a casual hangout that works equally well for solo laptop sessions or group meetups. The QR code ordering system and extensive breakfast menu featuring uncommonly thick-cut bacon reflect their modern, no-fuss approach, though the food lands solidly rather than spectacularly. It's the kind of place where the atmosphere and polite staff carry the experience as much as the coffee and pastries do.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Wifi.

Influencers vs reality. I’ve seen this space advertised numerous times and made a plan to go. The floral design that’s frequently advertised all over is as I have it pictures, cute and small, but not really a “wow” factor. Service is basically walk right up to the counter right…
I visited Wake n’ Bacon 🥓 recently, and honestly, I left disappointed. Atmosphere & Vibe: The space itself is beautiful. I loved the ceiling décor and the droopy flowers—it made for some cute little photo ops. The vibe was calm, quiet, and family-friendly, which is a plus. …
