Very nice place. Busy on a Sunday morning, but I was seated right away. The staff was nice and attentive, the food came reasonably fast. One of the best breakfast potatoes I ever had, crispy outside, but soft inside, and well seasoned. Nice crispy bacon, and perfectly done eggs over easy. Add strong hot coffee, and have yourself a merry little Sunday

We’ve been coming here since they opened and we have NEVER had a bad experience. The owner Rachel is a phenomenal cook and staff member. Our kiddo loves the waffles and cinnamon rolls. The cinnamon rolls are made from scratch and they are AMAZING to say the least!!!! Kudos to the whole crew of absolute beautiful human beings running this place!!! Such a great business in Crystal Lake!!!

This place has the BEST food and the friendliest staff! My husband and I discovered it about a year ago and never miss a chance to visit when we are in the area. Everything we’ve ever ordered has been amazing. The drinks are pretty damn good too. The Turkey Brie wrap is my favorite. My husband loves their clam chowder & Bloody Marys. And the homemade Cilantro dressing cannot be beat!! I wish they sold jars of it, hint hint I visited with my daughter today & now she’s hooked! She loved the pancakes…they are so good! The food is delicious, fresh and comes out quickly. Don’t miss this place if your in Crystal Lake!

The Cuban Benedict was excellent! An interesting twist on a classic, with great pulled pork and a pickle hollandaise (weird, but it works). They had plenty of other tempting specials like oyster mushroom tacos, but also familiar wraps and breakfast items you’d expect at a cafe like this. The manager was filling in as a server today and was friendly and happy to chat a bit. I always have a great time when I stop in.

Good food, but rather slow. They weren’t crazy busy on a Thursday and we waited more than 15 minutes just to take our order, and another 45 for food to arrive. All we had were sandwiches.

Landmark diner; been here for years but now under newer management. Innovative not-diner dishes. Lots of breakfast/lunch choices, but make sure to take a look at the specials! I tried the specials ‘seared salad’, A seared filet, grilled hard cheese and seared balsamic strawberries on a bed of greens with grapes.

We found this place for my husband’s father’s day breakfast. Great food! Great service! My husband enjoyed the WGN bacon me crazy sandwich, he said it was delicious and we will have to go back again! I ate the greenhouse omelet, it was great and had all my favorite veggies (spinach, asparagus, broccoli and cheese). Everything was amazing and so were the servers, they all worked so well together to give us such a great experience. Can’t wait to go back!

There’s no other place in Crystal Lake with an atmosphere quite like that of the new Cafe Olympic. It’s vintage and grungy, yet cozy at the same time… a place you want to sit and hang out for hours. The food has been outstanding every time I’ve been here. Highly recommend ordering any of the wraps.

Alyssa Abraham
My husband and I eat here often and have always had a wonderful meal and welcoming, happy experience. Everyone who works here seems happy, and Rosie is just the BEST! Highly recommend the chicken and waffles, and any of the grilled cheese roulette specials!

John Dendor
I want to start off by recognizing that these are the best breakfast potatoes of all time. Theyre perfectly crisp, seasoned just right, and they don’t need ketchup at all. The eggs appear to be local, since they had beautiful orange yolks. Portion sizes were very healthy. Overall, this is a great classic diner with a cozy atmosphere.
