If I could give this place zero stars, I would have. First, let me start off by saying that this isn't the first time I've gotten food from here. I worked in Woodridge from January of 2021 to September of 2023 and I would often order from here for takeout. Their omelettes, French toast, pancakes...BLTs.... USED TO BE so very very good. I decided to go back and introduce my Son to their menu. We couldn't decide between breakfast and lunch so we got a ham and cheese omelette and a Monte Cristo sandwich to share. When I cut into the omelette to split it between us, it was runny and uncooked inside. I cut it once more to see if the entire omelette was the same, and indeed it was. I flagged down a very disinterested waitress and let her know and she took it from the table. The Monte Cristo sandwich was cold enough that the cheese didn't melt on it. It was bland and unimpressive. The fries were cold, bland, and overcooked. When the waitress returned, she brought back the same omelette I sent back. They just slapped some more egg on it to mend it back together. I understand not wanting to waste, but there's just something about that that seems unsanitary to me. The best part of our meal was the toast and jelly. Never would I ever leave half a plate of food and walked away from a meal and not taken the rest home. But in this instance, I made an exception. We paid our bill, left our tip, and left everything behind. So disappointing.

Woodridge Caffe is a unique spot that blends breakfast charm with a full bar atmosphere, making it an intriguing but somewhat unfocused dining experience. The inclusion of slot machines adds to the eclectic vibe. However, their limited hours can be a drawback for those seeking consistent dining options.Despite these challenges, Woodridge Caffe manages to serve decent food that attracts a loyal following of regular guests. The dedicated servers are the backbone of the establishment, running the show with efficiency and a personal touch. However, the lack of strong management oversight may sometimes lead to inconsistencies in service and operations.Overall, Woodridge Caffe is worth a visit for its blend of breakfast delights, bar offerings, and a cozy ambiance favored by its regular patrons.

Food is excellent and prices are great. Their omelettes, eggs benny, and skillets are my favorite. Pancakes are also delicious. And the staff there is exceptional. Very friendly and attentive. Food comes out fairly quick as well. Our go to spot for breakfast.

not worth your time and money. Wanted to try something new and saw that this place had decent reviews. From the menu, prices looked a little on the high side. We ordered 2 " the classical eggs " 2 coffees and creeps. The food came out and was decent but honestly for the price you pay you can go to muchhhhh much better places or Dennys which is cheaper and tastes much better -especially the creeps! At the end when we got the bill we saw that we were charged $4 for some small bacon slices on each " classical egg ". I mean in any normal cafe/ breakfast place the bacon or protein is already Included in the meal without extra charge. Also, instead of the pancakes that come with the meal I order French toast and what I got was 1 small slice of bread and it was $4 extra for the French toast substitute! Even so, the service was good, but we never got told that there would be a charge for using a credit card to pay the bill. Ambiance was ok as well, smelled a little weird but my greatest objection is the prices. 60$ for 3 people is crazyyy

horrible customer service! One of the employees named Colleen was very rude. Patiently waited for my order and when she came to bring it to me she threw the order down on the bench and she said “ok here” and walked away.

The club sandwich & chicken tenders were pretty good, but the waffle was very dry & the fries tasted like they were re-heated. This place isn't terrible, but mediocre at best.
As a vegan queen the pancakes really tickled my pickle and tasted great. The indoor decorations were slaying and were trending. Our server was a queen and was giving. The service fast and so yum.

10 minutes after being seated the hostess offered coffee, which we accepted. Never spoke to a server. After finishing our coffee, we still hadn't heard from a server, so we left $7 and went to McDonald's.I could hear the slots from as far away as we could be. Almost left as soon as we entered. Clearly this is now a casino, not a cafe.

Really glad that I stopped here for lunch. The ricotta with sourdough was my favorite, almost wanted to buy the pesto from them.

We were in the area and stopped in for brunch and lunch. To our surprise it is a great restaurant. Clean, service was wonderful, and the food was very good. They serve Lavazza coffee! The service was phenomenal. Never had an empty coffee cup, which speaks volume. Our waitress was very attentive, kept coming over to check if anything was needed. Very friendly and warm. I will definitely keep coming.

Food and service is average but $14 for a cheeseburger and close to $14 for a ham & cheese omelet?? Ripoff! This is in Woodridge not Oak Brook or the Gold Coast.
