Colonial Cafe Closes; New Breakfast Spot To Take Its Place

ALGONQUIN, IL — Colonial Cafe in Algonquin will close on July 19 and a new breakfast and lunch spot will take its place. SYRUP is slated to move into the location at 2555 Bunker Hill Drive on July 22, according to a news release.

The "upscale modern farmhouse-meets-luxe breakfast and lunch destination" will feature typical favorites like omelettes and pancakes but will also serve up chia n' berries bowl and its "billion dollar" bacon, according to a news release. The restaurant will also have mimosas, bloody mary's, wine and beer.

SYRUP will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to a news release.

“We are so close to being ready to open,” said SYRUP owner Kimmie Matsunaga. “We’re getting ready to put up the sign out front and there are only a few more finishing touches on the inside to wrap up.”

Matsunaga has been leading the remodeling and interior design of the location. The gold lighting, green plant walls, and cypress wood accents make the space warm and inviting, with a sprinkle of “posh.”

“I’m excited for the residents to enjoy our fresh-squeezed juice, full-service coffee bar, and our menu that pairs so perfectly with the SYRUP aesthetic and branding,” she said.

SYRUP will have outdoor dining, carryout, and delivery available via DoorDash and GrubHub.
