    What's not to like about a puffy pancake that comes in a still sizzling skillet? Like a cross between a pancake and a popover. Comes with some stewed blueberries and buttah on top..

    Other winners include a golden rotisserie chicken served with yogurt and spicy watercress, or Faccio's pork sausage with an accompanying tomato-bread salad. Read more

    Like Bloody Marys and feeling adventurous? Try this Romanian Bloody Mary - it's beet juice, sour cream, a hard boiled egg & green onions. It's like borscht with a vodka kick. Salut!

    Great homemade donuts (cinnamon sugar), Portuguese Egg Sandwich is amazing, and always the Seasonal Scramble for brunch. Sunday dinners are a good way to end the weekend.

    Homemade donuts and coffee are the highlight of this spot. Food is good (we had the ham egg cheese sandwich and the seasonal scramble) but it's a little on the pricier side.

    Get a donut to end your meal. Or to start your meal. Or just go for it and have a full donut meal. Killer patio out back also

    The doughnuts here are simple, yet perfectly cake-y. We can't visit Prospect Heights without making a stop here.

    606 symbolizes what I love about Prospect Heights - there are great new places opening up here all the time. Try donuts + french press coffee ftw!

    Super cute and cozy. Pork was a teeny bit dry but still good. Shepherds pie was perfect bc it has no crust so much less heavy.

    The Horseradish (with bacon and egg, 'natch!) is a breakfast sandwich unlike any you've ever had. Light, sharp and just eggy and bacony enough.

    Eggs, ham, gruyere and caramelized onions nestled in an airy, toasty bun. Nice twist on the breakfast sandwich.

    Michael Cera from Juno and Arrested Development eats here. He was curious about the whole fish and whether you really get the whole fish.

    Decent sandwiches -- I had the white fish -- but don't plan to be full upon completion. Call me a gluttonous American, but that was a tiny lunch.
