I was hesitant at first but my mom got me to go and it's a lovely little tucked away cage that needs more recognition. I ordered the Americna with a twist and the poached eggs, bacon, and potato croquettes were amazing and it comes with a free sid of your choice of Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, cottage cheese, or a parfait. The food is very light and easy on the stomach and was absolutely amazing. They also have a nice little story on the back of the menu detailing their heritage and how they came to find the store. All in all a very nice little place with rustic decor and great food I will definitely be coming back!

The food was great and this place is really nice. The owner has a fantastic attention to detail. Everything is classy in here from the real wood floor from Germany to the dark wood doors of the bathroom. She did this place up just right. I had an excellent sausage and egg strudel that you dip in a homemade gravy and I really enjoyed the side options of fresh fruit and yogurt. It was all very tasty. Her cookies are delicious and so is the pastry I always refer to as a nut roll. It always tastes freshly baked. Our breakfast hit the spot. I heard the coffee is good here too which I’m going to come in and try when I have more time. Definitely stop in and try this place out.

This was our first time eating here, and we will definitely return. My husband ordered French onion soup and the pork schnitzel with potatoes. As he was chewing his first bites, his exact words were "this s##t's good!" I have to agree. The open-faced avocado bacon tomato baguette was ridiculously scrumptious. Hit the spot without the guilt. I had fresh fruit as a side and a sparkling strawberry drink served in beautiful glassware. We couldn't pass up the carrot cake. My husband said "wow" multiple times as he chowed that down. All in all a great experience. Highly recommend!

My Husband and I stopped by for some breakfast and music. The food was fabulous with high quality and home grown ingredients. It was our first visit and won't be our last. Our server was wonderfully attentive in a classy uniform. We loved that our food was served on beautiful glassware as a nod to Streator. Such a charming restaurant that didn't disappoint with excellent food and appropriate serving sizes. We also enjoyed live music from Jake and Nate on alto sax and cello. Perfect Saturday morning relaxation.

Don't come here expecting big American portions that give us heart attacks or pre-made cheap restaurant food that helps you to commit the sin of gluttony. The poached eggs were perfect, and the portions with coffee refills were so yummy. Fresh food is filling, and the savoring flavors can be enjoyed in their beautiful CLEAN environment and unique dishware.

Toni brings her family’s immigration story and delicious Croatian/Slovenian recipes to this modest town in the most humbling and heartwarming way. Upon arrival, you may sit wherever you want and enjoy the beautiful tables and easy music that makes you feel like you’ve traveled to their home without ever buying a plane ticket. The beauty comes from the family heirlooms, collectibles by Toni herself, each with a unique story worth listening to Toni talk about. I had the joy of conversing with her for a long while as she shared her family’s story. I won’t give it away, come in yourself! She’s so kind. But once you’ve filled your heart, filled your soul with home made pastries and breakfast that will surprisingly leave you satisfied more than any fast food chain ever could. The coffee is light and fresh, the sausage and gravy streudel is incredible with its light and flaky phyllo, and elegant dishes. I was wowed by the Potica’s lightly sweet and slightly nutty flavor. You’ll love this paired with coffee.
