Wildberry

Because the only day we can go out to breakfast together is Saturday we don't often really do it. But we decided to go out for breakfast before a day at the Chicago Botanic Garden.  We went to a place called Wildberry.  We went to the location in Schaumburg at 1383 N Meacham Road.  We found out about this restaurant from a breakfast themed episode of Chicago's Best.

Natalie ordered the tiramisu pancakes - pancakes cinnamon, cocoa, whipped cream and a tiramisu cheese spread in between the pancakes.  Natalie doesn't often like to order pancakes at restaurants because they usually fall short of the taste of the pancakes she can make from scratch at home.  But because there were some extras thrown in with the pancakes she was willing to try it. The pancakes alone were okay but the cheese spread made everthing taste much better. What would have made them a little better was having more of the cheese mixture along with spreading it evenly in between the layers of the pancakes - that way every bite could have some of that flavor.

Nick ordered the Wildberry French Toast - partly because how can you pass up a restaurant's namesake item. It was a large portion so it was very filling. The french toast was supersweet and tasty, but there could have been more mascarpone cheese.  No syrup was needed because of it was so sweet.

Nick also ordered a cup of hot apple cider.  It was good, but he prefers non-pasteurized cider with mulling spices.

Sorry no pictures of the food - we forgot!

Final thoughts on Wildberry:
Food - average breakfast place
Service - slow; we felt like waited a while to get everything
Atmosphere -  good atmosphere, clean, nicer looking than most breakfast spots
