They close at 2:30 PM, so your late brunch is their last order for the day. Just their tray with bowls of cream, maple syrup, honey, cream, jam, marmalade and ketchup will make you twice as hungry with possibilities. The wait here is not long at all and you end up getting seated almost as soon as you arrive. However, that is not the usual scenario. This place is notoriously known for a long waiting even before it opens its doors at 6:30 in the morning. Highly recommended are their waffles that come with a generous throw of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries. Down a mug of freshly-brewed coffee and wind it up by taking a stroll at the Lincoln Park, which is just across the street. Coffee is not there forte though. The Wildberry Pancakes and Café does take pride in local farm fresh ingredients and fresh baked bread. The loyalists swear by their skillets and pancakes hands down.
