About Honeybear Cafe

Over five decades of breakfast in Rogers Park

Honeybear Cafe has anchored its corner of North Clark Street in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood for more than 50 years. The current chapter began in 2020, when George and Prudence took over from the original owners, refreshing the menu while preserving the cafe's identity as a neighborhood anchor for big, creative breakfasts.

The cafe has earned awards including "best cafe in Chicago" and "best breakfast in Chicago," sustained a 4.4-star average across 900+ Yelp reviews, and built a following that extends well beyond Rogers Park. On weekends the room fills quickly, waits stretch to an hour, and the French Toast Trio Flight flies out of the kitchen as fast as the kitchen can plate it.

The BYOB policy, family-friendly atmosphere, massive portions, and a menu that balances classics (eggs, pancakes, biscuits) with creative showpieces (Creme Brulee French Toast, Cajun Shrimp Grits, Skirt Steak Skillet) make Honeybear Cafe a destination for both locals and Chicago visitors.
