Reviews
I was so surprised to find that Breaking Bread has been in business for 14 years as I only just found out about it as part of the McHenry County Coffee and Tea trail. This Breaking Bread location is inside the train station, which is so quaint. I also have to mention that the owner Chris is really nice. I would definitely eat here again.
Note: Prices are higher than what is posted on their menu. With tip, the above order was about $45-$46. Also, not sure if this was a one-off or not, but the posted hours said open to 2pm but they closed at 1pm this past Friday since it was slow and no other train was expected in. If the hours are always contingent on the train schedule, I would suggest posting that versus set hours.
I am trying to compare the ones from local Chicago (well, I mean Algonquin which is somewhat close to Chicago), Culver’s, and Culver’s/Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I would call myself a decent lover of cheese. I really like it on certain things like pizza, bread, pastas etc but don’t have it on a daily basis and haven’t been too crazy about it. I’m sure that’s about to change when I go to the cheese capital of the country!!
These cheese curds were ready and hot in 3 minutes! They tasted very good although a bit too greasy. What I mean by that is grease was on the napkins in the bag, on the bag itself, and a good amount was on my fingers after eating…
Besides that, the curds had just the right amount of salt. Light, crunchy batter with a soft, yet audible crunch. The center was nice, chewy and cheesy. White (no yellow), thin cheesy center. Positive cheese pull test- very long stringy cheese pull. 8/10 for flavor and 8/10 for quality.
Some clusters had more cheese than others but overall very enjoyable. I love it and wonder how/if the ones in Wisconsin will stack up!!
Price before tax = $4.95 for a med-large bag
Worth the calories? Yes, somewhat 🙂
I also just find the people pleasant. They have kind and welcoming personalities, and I always leave wanting to come back. Pleasant small social exchanges in day-to -day life add up and matter to creating a great community.
The sweetest owner who made sure l liked my drink & was incredibly personable.
Stop by on your next pass through Crystal Lake & try a coffee or a pastry.
