Genetti Bistro Breakfast & Lunch Café — Restaurant in Palos Township

Food: I ordered a hazelnut cappuccino, and my sister ordered a pumpkin cinnamon iced latte. While we enjoyed the drinks overall, my cappuccino was lacking a noticeable hazelnut flavor, and I couldn't totally pick up on the pumpkin flavor in the iced latte. The syrups might just be lighter to pick up on? I was impressed with the pastries, however. Although they were out of stock on the chocolate chip Danish, I got the Almond Danish, and my sister got the Raspberry Danish. They lighlty warmed up although I wouldn't have minded mine to be slighlty hotter to enhance the flavors. I had never had an almond danish before, but it had the perfect amount of a sugared crumble on it with a custard-almond like filling on the flaky breading. My sister and I split the omelet. The bread was a little oily, but overall, it was enough food for the both of us, and it was made with simple yet fresh ingredients. I would like to return to try the quiche of the day along with the carrot cake which they source from a local bakery!

Service: We had a young woman as our server, hostess, and cashier - a one in all deal. She was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu and offered any necessary accommodations. She checked in on us plenty and was easy to talk to.

Atmosphere: Upon arrival around 10AM on a weekday, this restaurant is incredibly calm and quiet. It was nice having the place to ourselves. Some of the matching wicker seating has a French esthetic near the counter. As much as I wish that this place had matching tables and chairs, they have flexible seating options throughout. Lots of faux greenery, it could do without the flowered garlands. Overall, the space is very clean,...

Absolutely fantastic brunch experience. Cute atmosphere, and just amazing food that you wouldn’t have seen coming. Super helpful and friendly staff, as well!

For starters, I don’t even know where else around the SW Chicagoland area you can get a shakshouka! The tomato sauce was perfect; not too up front, not too acidic or spicy or tangy, just blending in really nicely with the eggs. I had shared that along with their steak & eggs where you get a beautifully seasoned steak cooked how you like; with a glorious array of potatoes, eggs, a nice little salad, some gorgeous toast, and some beautifully cooked sun-dried tomatoes hiding sneakily underneath the steak. The flavors all compliment each other very nicely, like a team that works really well together. Considering we were having brunch there, we also had to get the Turkish coffee. That alluring blend of spices and strength, this Turkish coffee does not dispoint. I also enjoyed the glass it was served in 😂

This place may be easy to miss location-wise, so treat yourself to some...

What a lovely place to have a delicious fresh breakfast! The breakfast menu is small but for good reason! The options they do have are wonderful. The bacon and eggs simply delicious and you can tell everything is organic! Also comes with potato’s, fruit, toast and small salad! The veggie wrap was equally fresh and yummy. This came with chips , salad , and their homemade chicken noodle! (Don’t get me started ). There is also many coffee/drink options from whole pots of tea to Turkish coffee to Ethiopian and even Mushroom coffee! The mushroom coffee with vanilla tastes just like tiramisu. Mango tea was refreshing and tastes like they squeezed it right out of the mango. The atmosphere was quiet with decor that was visualizing please and some nice jazz music playing made it even...
