My husband and I were looking for a breakfast spot in downtown Downers Grove and stumbled across this gem of a pancake house. Although from the outside, it looks like your run-of-the-mill overpriced "fusion" café with small portions and big prices, inside is just a treat. The decorating lives up to the restaurant's name, but there's nothing surreal about the food! They've got an impressive selection of breakfast and lunch options, ranging from mouthwatering stuffed French toast to heart-friendly salad options. I suggest the omlette with brie, apple, and chicken sausage. Portions are huge, and prices are reasonable. Service was great, but don't expect more than your average local pancake house. We're happy we found this place, and it's definitely going into our list of reliable local cafés.
