Honey-Jam Cafe Arlington Heights in Arlington Heights

Favorite place to go to for Sunday brunch after church with my husband. It can get pretty busy on Sundays but they move through their waitlist fairly quickly

I love this place. The coffee is really good, not burnt tasting and served in handmade pottery cups. The food came out quickly and was so delicious. Perfect serving sizes, a good value. Juan was our server, he was very attentive and polite. Plenty of parking and handicapped accessible.

The pumpkin french toast were fantastic, considering myself a sweet tooth! The cheeseburger was 50/50 for me, but the fries made up for that. And the turkey club looked & tasted great! The service was great too!

Love coming here. I always get the breakfast tacos which have carnitas. Their drinks are so good and especially the horchata shake. It does get packed so I suggest you call and check the wait time before going in.

Good crepes with blueberries ($2.79)but side of bacon was $4.79 for 3 pieces. Waiter ok but rushed. Total $20.22 pricey for breakfast.

1st time there enjoyed my selection, Horchata shake, cubano sandwich, cream of chicken rice soup!!!

Pretty good breakfast food. Had the Nutella crepes and they were really good and a large size portion.

Excellent food selections. Lots of great breakfast and lunch items! Fast and friendly. Outside seating very nice. We’ll definitely return! ❤️

I ordered banana bread french toast and got the smallest portion ever for the price I paid ($15I got 3 small squares of bread no bigger then the palm of my hand. There was also 1 or 2 bananas cut up and that was it. Very disappointed. They got rid of banana foster crepes as well which was my favorite thing here. Not sure Ill be coming back.

My bf and I came here on Labor Day. I didn’t expect it not to be busy and I really appreciated the hostess for breaking down how long it would take us to get seated, get a waiter, and an estimate of how long the food would take. The whole process was fairly quicker than expected. I guess that might have been the first sign to leave.We figured since we were told the food was taking some extra time today, we’d order right away, so that’s what we did. The waitress right off the bat started giving us a little bit of attitude. Whatever, we didn’t think much of it. We were given one set of silverware and when we asked for more she gave us more attitude. Didn’t think we were being rude asking for extra silverware but okay.I asked her what the difference between 2 waffles were or which one was more popular and she just seemed annoyed.The toast came out first… cold. Honestly, the best thing on the table, though. Next, we had ordered the chilaquiles with vegan sausage, Belgian waffles, avocado toast, and a juice. All vegetarian. The chilaquiles were bland as if they were missing something like salsa, the waffles didn’t have the whipped cream, avocado toast was bland and I found a piece of ham in it… I’m vegetarian, and the juice never even came out.After awhile, she stopped coming around and the guy bringing out food was basically helping us with our needs. She would ask if we need anything and would leave after he would bring us whatever else we needed.As soon as we finished eating, she came up to our table with the check. It felt as if we were being kicked out. We didn’t ask for the check. I was still not done eating.First and last time here. Was really excited to try this place because of the amazing reviews but unfortunately horrible experience.

Nice place for breakfast . A bit of a different spin on their food. Will be back to try again.

Service a bit slow but food was really good. I would go back and plenty of free parking. The smoked salmon is very salty but all other food was great.

Menu looked kso good! Food was so-so. Staff was friendly but forgot to get us a lot of simple items we ordered. Pass.

Did a carry out order and they forgot the hot sauce for my husbands Nashville chicken sandwich and they forgot my meals side. The guac was clearly old and not great. Maybe food would be better when you eat in but carry out wasn’t good- especially for the price.

Delicious food! Great selection of choices, so far everything has been delicious! Various types of coffee available in their drink menu.

My first visit here and I was very impressed! The menu is huge with a wide variety of items, not just standard breakfast fare. It was very easy to over order, though bringing home leftovers just meant more for later. Specialty pancakes are delicious, as are the unique skillet preparations.

It has become our breakfast spot, and we have had great food and service each visit.

First time, recommended by a coworker. Took my mom out for breakfast. She got the chilaquiles and coffee. I got West coast crepes and chocolate chip frappe.In general food was overall good but in both dishes eggs felt a bit undercooked. Didnt really get much mushrooms in my order and chilaquiles were a bit too spicy for our taste. My frappe was also a bit difficult to drink due to all the chips at the bottom getting stuck on the straw. I was looking for a savory crepe but was taken aback with the sweetness. Again it was all really good overall just not what I was expecting. Restaurant was nice and clean. Fun decor. Outdoor seating. Will def come back and try again

I came to honey jam because I was told by a friend it was the best and decided I was gonna try it. I got there breakfast sandwich with avocado and it was the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. It was hard and the avocado was scare like they couldn’t afford to put any of it on there. Overall it was hard and bland and disgusting. I’m very disappointed and I do hope they plan to take that horrid sandwich off the menu. Trust me it was NOT WORTH 15$ waste of my money and my time

A neighborhood gem!! Great place for breakfast....awesome food and friendly staff! Go early as it gets busy pretty quickly. Personal recommendations: Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes (tastes like cinnamon rollsand kids go crazy over these. Any of the "skillets" are phenomenal!

I ordered the Hawaiin French toast. We saw other people getting their food and were wondering why it was taking longer to get our food. The server came by and said they ran out of French toast and asked if I wanted anything else. I asked for pancakes. After so long, the waiter brought out the other ordered food (omelet, pancakes, and scrambled eggssaid itll be a moment for the "hawaiin" pancakes. He came back out with French toast.At the end of the meal, we waited a significant time before the waiter asked if we wanted boxes, we asked for 2. He disappeared, 10 min passed the busboy came by I asked him for boxes. Finally after about 15min the waiter came back with 1 box.

Taste of home breakfast! Menu has a little bit of this, little bit of that. Portions are pretty big and food tastes fresh. Great service to.

Great menu! food tasted awesome! recommend the fried chicken and biscuits.. you can ask them to ale it Nashville Hot to get a bit of extra kick! Service could be a little bit better. All in all a good experience!

Went there for breakfast with the husband and I was so pleased that we chose Honey Jam! Went there on a Wednesday morning for breakfast and they were not busy we were served immediately by our server who is fantastic!My husband had the Hawaiian French toast which was special and I had the West Coast crepes. The crates were unbelievably amazing and huge and I couldnt even finish one of them. My husband got the Hawaiian French toast which was a special and although it was a bit sweet for him he loved it! The server did warn it was sweet and could probably be done for a desert but he was glad he chose it. He also ordered a side of sausage that was very lean and absolutely delicious!As always their regular coffee with French vanilla creamer (you have to ask for it!has great body and taste and is not light and watery like most restaurants!We had a great server and its a beautiful and clean atmosphere. Cant wait to go back and bring the parents soon! Total local gem!

Very good food! I was happy they allowed substitutions and the staff was friendly.

I was disappointed, the service was great, friendly and efficient, so I gave 2 stars. I dont know what everyone is eating, but I ordered pancakes and sausage patties. The patties had no flavor and the pancakes were mushy. Disappointed 😞 I would not return

To start off Poinsettia is spectacular! Breakfast is amazing very extensive menu 😋

We are becoming regulars here. Havent had a single dish I did not like. Service is wonderful. Love it here, highly recommended.

This restaurant was a surprise to me honestly because of the quality of the food, the service and the ambiance. The ceilings are higher than the competition in this area making it the right open feeling. We went on Sunday for brunch around 10 am- great bloody Mary’s with bacon added. I was in the mood for something with Latin flair and their selection is amazing compared to other breakfast restaurants around! Definitely will make this a regular place (they sell Illy coffee and espresso btw.)

This restaurants atmosphere is soooo cute. The staff was welcoming and attentive. The good was even better. I had the best bacon and best blueberry pancakes I have ever had. As an added bonus, their orange juice was fresh squeezed! It was delicious. I highly recommend this place!!!

Good service, amazing food, and a lot of items you dont usually see on a breakfast menu. I also had a chai tea latte that was better than Starbucks. Definitely worth a stop if youre in the area!

We ordered the Crunchwrap EXTREME and the Biscuits & Gravy. Their sausage gravy is delicious and way too much dairy for me, but I’d go back again. Boyfriend loved the crunchwrap, it was about three times as big as an ordinary crunchwrap though so be prepared!! We ate on the patio, which is surrounded by lots of salvia flowers that attract this cafe’s cute name sake — honeybees! ❤️ 🐝 Can’t wait to come back here.Update: Came back here excited to order again and they served us our orders incorrect. When we said as much, they ran back to the kitchen and came back over 20 min later with raw corn beef hash and undercooked eggs. Won’t be coming back for awhile.

Its always a pleasure to come here every Saturday to enjoy delicious food!The staff are always friendly and professionalThe place is cleanAnd the food is wonderful

Honey Jam never disappoints. Great breakfast fare. Tried the Cobb Salad today for lunch. It was great. Nicely crafted and generously proportioned, and came with two slices of sourdough bread. Lots of chunks of freshly grilled chicken, bacon bits, feta cheese, diced tomato, hard boiled egg wedges and perfectly ripe, melt in your mouth avacado. Would have liked a little more egg and avocado, but thats because Im not a big meat eater. Salad mix also included spinach, a nice touch nutritionally and added color.

What a beautiful experience.The waiters took our orders and then gave us under table pedicures while we ate. They then cobbled us new wooden shoes for our trip home. We were lucky to go on customer haircut day..Out waiter gave my wife a lovely crew cut and I got a perm. I look just like Bea Arthur from the Golden Girls.. Excellent job. Ten star experience!! Bring the cat..

Stick to breakfast. Just had the worst burger ever. Ordered the patty melt. Not sure what kind of American cheese this is but it didn’t even melt… Barely to the bread but not at all to the patty. I’ve order the BLT from here also and the cheese is just awful. Prices are too high to be using artificial dollar store cheese. I ordered on Grubhub. It was extremely cold when it arrived as if it sat for a while before even being picked up. The vents were closed on the tray so the bread became stale tasting. Then it was DRY as ever. No condiments. I ended up using my own bread and cheese to make it palatable. Additionally I also order loaded tots for a $3 up charge and received plain tots. If I hadn’t eaten all day I wouldn’t have eaten this. Only gave it two stars because they have breakfast items that are good. At best a 3 star restaurant if they stick to breakfast.

Busy place but ambiance was good. Fresh and delicious food. Accommodating staff. Loved the fresh orange juice.

Never a bad experience at Honey Jam. Almost everything there that Ive ever had is delicious oh, from the smoothies to the Mimosa to the egg dishes and the sandwiches and the service. A word of advice though call ahead and try and put your name down if its a weekend otherwise there will most likely be a 1/2 hour wait. We have never been disappointed here and Im sure you will enjoy the experience dining indoors or out.

Great service. Plenty of parking. Clean restaurant. Food was delicious. I ordered the spinach and feta omelette and it was flavorful and filling. The mimosas were good as well. Strong and delicious. Food and drink orders came out quickly. I would highly recommend this spot.

Wow! This place doesn’t stay open long throughout the day (Usually till around 2pm), but the food here is truly AMAZING! No matter what you get, breakfast, lunch or dinner your will be happy with the taste, size portions d the quality of service. A must visit if your anywhere near Arlington Downs Park or Racetrack. Area is well secured and safe for all locals and travelers.

Wow!! Loved this place!! Just happened to end up here! It was wonderful! Horchata and Vietnamese coffees were SO good! The breakfast poutine was amazing. The kids loved their breakfasts of large sausage links, pancakes, French toast, and eggs. Great food and great service!! Would definitely recommend for brunch!!!

This place is huge. Went on a saturday around noon and were able to get a table right away. The red velvet french toast is amazing! The veggie skillet was good with lots of veggies but I was not a fan of the chilaquiles- it was more of a quesadilla and the sauce was too spicy. Good hash browns.

Food was okay, but oh lord what do I find when I open a fresh set of silverware? Chocolate left over from someone who might have used it before. Like what? Really? You don’t wash your silverware? Highly highly disappointed. This is unacceptable.Food: I ordered a Hawaiian scrambler and it was not hot, it was warmish. A side of pancakes but the server didn’t bother to even ask for maple syrup. It’s common sense to either bring it or ask for it.Moving on, the portions are small so be prepared to add on a side of fries or something on the side.

Excellent service. The food is good!! A lot of choices on the menu with fresh veggies. We had a Mexican omelette which was really good. The churro french toast with fresh berries were delicious. I liked the ambiance, it’s not too loud and family friendly.

I had really good corned beef skillet, coffee is tasty, service is fast and on top of things. Star down for the price ($50 for 2). That may prevent us from returning often. But overall good.

Ive been to this establishment 3 times so far with my family, and each time weve had excellent service and great food. I hope they keep it up and this restaurant lasts the test of time.Update: the family and I have been to this restaurant a few more times and have usually been very pleased with the food. Today, we visited closer to closing time and the food seemed a bit “rushed” and her vege skillet didn’t contain many veges and my Denver omelet was also a bit lacking. Still maintaining my 5star rating but it’s more like a 4-1/2 star rating now. Service was and has always been excellent which leans more towards the 5star rating too. Pics attached show my Denver omelet, my wife’s vege skillet, and my son’s Belgium waffle.

So glad I decided to explore new places on this Memorial weekend! Love this place amazing food and friendly service! Love love the decor and the layout I must say it’s a bit pricey which I wasn’t expecting since we had breakfast but at least the food was amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We shared the Strawberry Churro Pancake Minis and Chicken & Waffles. Both dishes were delectable! The sanddollar pancakes were so fluffy and had just enough cinnamon sugar to give it the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. The fried chicken was battered and fried to a crispy perfection. The chipotle maple syrup complemented the chicken and waffles perfectly. Our server, Paola, was also excellent. :)

This place had amazing food. Server was very pleasant and great attentiveness. Atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. Didnt wait too long for food. Coffee pot left at table. Fresh tasting. I tried breakfast items.

Aureillos pizza closed and Honey Jam opened in its place. The waiting area is too small. The food is decent and the service was very good. Its nice to have another breakfast place near 53
