    Made a stop in on my typical weekend breakfast with friends. I will say you can get very busy here. So try to plan accordingly the food is great and the atmosphere was that of a nice breakfast diner. It felt clean with the wait staff being tentative.

    Had pick up to go. Unfortunately, the chorizo made the sandwich a little greasy which happens a lot with chorizo. The taste was great! Kids french toast sticks were a hit! Can't go wrong with the juice, especially as a mimosa!

    Breakfast burrito

    I was looking for a place to stop for a late breakfast before a drs appointment on a weekday around 10:45am and stumbled in. Parking was kind of tight as it appears multiple establishments use the same parking lot. Parking was a 3 hour limit. I was seated promptly and a server took my drink order pretty quick. As a tea drinker I was QUITE impressed by the tea. They had a selection of teas on the menu...really shocking...and I settled on the English breakfast classic. It arrived hot in a mini tea cup with lemon and melted honey. It was great! For breakfast I ordered the burrito with potatoes and fruit. Also amazing. My server was sweet as could be and so polite. Overall great experience!

    Very friendly waiter, quick service, and excellent food. They just redid the inside and it is very modern and aesthetic. You have to check out the coffee bar/cafe in the front! The fruit was super fresh and the breakfast was perfect.

    Pancakes w/Chocolate Chips & Strawberries. Sausage and eggs over easy.

    This is the first time I went to egg harbor and I didn't really care for it cause it's a chain but I couldn't of been any more wrong. Great service and great food! Can't beat it! Both servers attending us were so helpful with the menu, had patience and managed to serve multiple tables no problem. A simple smile goes a long way and they both had that going which we appreciate.

    My husband and I were in the area early in the morning and saw this place had great food. We were seated right away and got some coffee and ordered the roast beef skillet and the santorini scrambler along with classic French toast. Everything was good, the potatoes were a bit dry, but other than that I give this place 4/5 stars. Glad we came at 8am, as we were leaving, the place started to get real busy. Will definitely recommend Egg harbor cafe.

    Finalllllly found a breakfast place in the greater Chicago area (aside from Buttermilk which is so far) that aimed to please! I ordered takeout via an app and my order was ready right on time - to the minute. The front host was very polite and prompt. I ate in my car and everything was packaged so well, separately and easy to access. I ordered the chicken egg white omelette sub red peppers for mushrooms and goat cheese for mozzarella. Ok I LOVED that on the app you could choose "swap with..." I've never seen that before and it was so easy to get exactly what I wanted with no up charge! The omelette was great! I scarfed it down. Came with fruit and a whole wheat English muffin, all standard. I wasn't super impressed with the jam but that's no big deal. I also ordered the lemon poppy seed pancake on the side, which was very reasonably priced. I loved that you could choose to add one, two, or a stack. Great great ordering options!! The pancake was delicious! Overall, super excited about Egg Harbor. It will definitely be a new staple for me.

    We went here after joining a July 4th - 5k Run. This is one of the best place to have morning breakfast in Elmhurst downtown. Service is awesome, waitstaff are very attentive. Ambiance is good too. Sometimes, parking finding a parking in this place is hard. But overall its a great place

    Avocado Toast and eggs
    Ivy Y.

    Super cute place, really good food. I came here with my cousin who highly recommended it. We both ordered the avocado toast with two eggs and were happily satisfied even though my eggs were a little overcooked. Service was great. Ambiance was great. Prices were incredibly fair. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

    This aesthetic of this place is homey. The food was good but there wasn't much variety for it being a breakfast place. The service is decent. The food took forever to come out and the waiter kept forgetting my strawberry orange juice. But maybe it was a busy day. I probably won't be coming back here only because of the lack of variety from the menu. However, it is a good place to check for the first time!

    If you order a double espresso, be prepared for 2 single shots of espresso. At least the cups were cute.

    Egg Harbor recently received a facelift, and I was excited to check it out. I have been craving French toast for ages, so I figured it was time to satisfy the craving. The new decor is cute, very on trend with other breakfast restaurants in the area. The server was nice, although the service was slow (not terrible for a busy Saturday, I guess). I ordered the classic French toast, a side of bacon, and a double espresso. When the espresso came out, I laughed because it was 2 single shots of espresso in two separate cups. It tasted good, however, and it wasn't bitter at all. The French toast was terrible. The egg wasn't absorbed by the bread at all, so what I got was sweet scrambled egg on top of brioche bread. I couldn't even eat one slice without giving up. The bacon was standard bacon, albeit underdone for my taste. If you want crispy bacon, you'll need to ask for it. Overall, with so many other breakfast options in Elmhurst, I will pass on Egg Harbor next time.

    farmers benedict and chocolate chip pancakes!
    Jane Y.

    Egg harbor all around is solidly consistent at all their Illinois locations (I am slightly disappointed in Georgia locations though) in terms of taste. This was no exception. Great food, great/fast service and a great experience! I always get the farmers benedict!

    Gurleen K.

    Atmosphere is family friendly and cute and the service was great! I got the eggs benedict but wouldn't recommend because it was cold and didn't feel fresh in anyway but the omelette was great! So I guess it depends a bit on what you order but overall a good experience. I would go back but I'd be more selective about what I order!

At first, I was disappointed they didn't have Chicago Italian beef. So I asked what they would recommend, and the very polite lady behind the counter said, "You should try my meatball sub." I laughed and told her, "I don't know... my late grandma (100% Italian) made the best meatballs ever, but alright, let's do it." Then she asked, "Do you want peppers?" and of course my reply was, "Heck yeah!" She chuckled. When the sub came out, I have to say, it was huge. I sat down, took one quick smell and a bite... BOOM. I was instantly transported back to my grandma's kitchen, eating Saturday pasta and meatballs. I highly recommend checking this little gem out. The service, the atmosphere, and especially the food were all amazing. I definitely was not disappointed. P.S. Don't skip the desserts -- once again, absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for the memories and the great experience!

Their inside feels like a greenhouse with tons of glass walls around but they also have a large patio (some shaded, some not spots). On Saturdays, they do 1/2 price frozen drinks, $1 wings, and $17 buckets of booze. I tried the Frozen Espresso Martini which was the perfect patio sipper! My friends got the Redtide which was a bit tart for me but they loved it. For food, we got some shareables for the table: Elote, Mac & Cheese, Ancho Carrots, and Cornbread. All the sides were amazing but the standouts were the elote and carrots. For meals, everyone got a mixture of Sandwiches and Golden Boy Plates. The Pig & Bull Sandwich was tender, packed with flavor, and loved the sweet slaw paired with it. Even on the plates, the meat was all juicy and tender. I absolutely loved the vibe of this spot and cannot wait for more warm weather to come back! Be sure to check out their weekly specials for extra deals!

The food overall was delicious, however, there were a few drawbacks. The pulled chicken did have a bone in it, and the cornbread on the platter was laughably small.
