The Bongo Room opened in July of 1993 in what was then a very different Wicker Park. The neighborhood was just becoming the dining and shopping destination that it is known for today. Our original concept was simple: serve fresh, seasonal Breakfast & Brunch food in a unique way. While the idea took some time to develop, within a year our customers' feedback was fantastic. In fact, a few of the original items remain on the menu to this day. The Breakfast Burrito, The Croissant Sandwich and the Vegetarian Croissant Sandwich are as popular now as they were then. But it is the seasonally changing pancakes & French Toast creations that continue to draw in new customers, entice die-hard regulars and bring back our original patrons year after year.
