Cafe Olympic

“Great food, excellent vegan options, and wonderful very friendly servers.”

Must have good reviews from locals. Rundown, dirty, sticky, worn tables, torn and taped seat cushions. Bathroom on left was clean. No waiting area. You stand next to people trying to eat. Every time the door opens, you get blasted with winter. Waited to be greeted, no indication of seat yourself or wait...so awkward. Table was worn through, sat on blue duct taped, torn seat. Food took a long time to come out, compared to similar breakfast diners. Food was greasy. Ham in the meat lover's skillet was chunks of fat. Eggs on one of the orders was cold. Won't be returning.

Café Olympic is a cozy little corner café in Crystal Lake that feels like the kind of spot locals swear by—and judging by the crowd on a Sunday morning, they definitely do. It was packed when we arrived, and we waited about 20 minutes for a table, but it was worth it once the food hit the table. The breakfast plates were hearty and perfectly seasoned—the potatoes had that crispy-outside, fluffy-inside texture with just the right amount of spice, and the eggs were cooked spot-on. The omelet was loaded and flavorful, the chicken and waffles were crispy and golden, and the bacon was the perfect

The service here is fantastic, and the food does not disappoint. I tried the egg plate, which had perfectly cooked eggs and flavorful bacon. My husband enjoyed the breakfast sandwich, which was equally satisfying. We are already excited to return and explore more of the menu.

Cafe Olympic is always our first choice for breakfast. The staff is warm and welcoming, and the service is smooth and efficient. The breakfast gravy, classic favorites, and avocado toast are always delicious, and the drinks are perfectly made. It is a place we happily return to again and again.
