Manny’s Café: Reviews & Ratings
Had breakfast there this morning when they opened fantastic place to eat. It's a nice local establishment owned by local business. People can't wait to come back again.!!
I'm a truck driver from out of town and when u tell you I'm so lucky to come across the hidden gem! Food was exceptional, restaurant clean and the service was impeccable
Simple, friendly, clean and tasty. Nice neighborhood breakfast eats. Only 7 table tops so there may be a wait at rush times, but it's worth it.
Friendly staff, wonderful home cooking at reasonable prices in a cute coffee shop. Was in the Winfield area and stumbled along this gem. My husband and I were looking for something quick. I had the traditional chilaquiles with green sauce and Joe had the avocado toast. Both were really tasty options and would definitely go back to try their soup and other sandwiches. While we were there at least 5-7 regulars came in just for their chicken and rice soup or their Cuban sandwich.
Delicious fresh breakfast served by a very friendly staff. We had the avocado toast and chilaquiles Verda. They were a treat. Can't wait to return and try more.
This hidden gem in a strip mall is AMAZING! We love Chilaquiles and hav tried at several restaurants and hands down Manny makes the BEST. Also the fruit filled crepes are to die for. Really everything is great but we are creatures of habit and always crave his chilaquiles. Make sure you order the Southern style.
Food is so so soooo good!!! Service is very attentive and super friendly. Wish this place was in Indiana by us.
The hubs and I found this place via Yelp reviews, and it did not let us down. The staff was very welcoming and took their time explaining their recommendations. We decided to order coffee, and the Chilaquiles with a medium done steak, and the brioche French toast. First off, the coffee was some of the best we've ever had. Not bitter at all and so incredibly smooth. We mentioned it to our server and he stated that it's a special blend and they knew the grower and where the coffee comes from. The food came out quickly, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavor of the chilaquiles was insanely delicious and the steak was cooked to our liking and had a lot of flavor as well! The French toast was great afterwards as a sweet treat with the syrup. The price for everything was great too. For 2 coffees, and 2 main dishes with the added steak, the total was just shy of $40, not bad. Overall, it was a great experience and we'll be coming back often.
Great place for breakfast in Carol Stream! The staff was welcoming. The menu offers a variety of options including avocado toast, oatmeal, American breakfast plate, pancakes, crepes, French toasts, waffles, chilaquiles, omelets, skillets, benedicts, and sandwiches. French vanilla cappuccino $3 - Probably made from power, but delicious. Banana Nutella crepe $10 - Crepes were light and fluffy and banana slices were fresh. BYO Skillet $14 - Well seasoned skillet. The monogrammed M powder sugar on the pancakes was a nice touch. .|\---/| | @_@ | ..\_^_/..2024
I went here about 10:15 for a late breakfast. Due to the middling time there was no one else in the cafe. I came out here to have a Mexican style breakfast, most likely the chilaquiles, but when I saw the description for the chori-papas skillet, I went with that. Unfortunately, when my breakfast was served, I was confused by the eggs on top. I had ordered over medium, and what I got was a thin layer of scrambled eggs, which looked more like a frittata. My server apologized and was getting ready to whisk it away, but I told her not to bother, scrambled eggs would be good enough. As it turned out though, these were not my idea of scrambled eggs. I prefer them nice and fluffy, and they make them more like a frittata, or omelette half. Okay, so enough about that snafu. She had kindly and quickly offered to fix it, but I declined. That's on me. The potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and chorizo were strikingly fresh, vibrant looking colors and cooked to perfection! The pancakes were not only attractive, they were very tasty. This cafe is not near my home, so who knows when I'll be there again. But if I did live nearby, I'd make this a regular stop. There is a nice variety of food offerings on their menu to try out. The people are nice, and the chef/cook does a wonderful job, using fresh ingredients.
