One of the top two breakfast spots in Libertyville. Exceptional selection, breakfast offerings, and service. Egg Harbor Cafe boasts a large menu with something for everyone. Traditional breakfast items and some unique favorites such as Shakshuka and chilaquiles. I went with the garden skillet this time around, hoping for some extra vegetables in my life and it did not disappoint. A generous portion, I took leftovers home with me. The coffee was bottomless, and the Bloody Mary was flavorful and a nice cherry on top of Saturday brunch. Our waitress was quick and attentive. The decor could use a refresh, while they've semi-recently updated the front counter, the dining room could use an update as well. read more

This place is in our rotation for lunch during the week. We ask for Cesar every time we go in - he is incredible. They have a separate GF menu with a ton of options. My friend and I shared GF pancakes (which are the best btw) and shakshuka with GF toast. The spice was perfect! They did remove the impossible sausage as a side so I was sad to see that item go, but we love coming here and will continue to come back! read more

Easy to get seated , Excellent food, many choices for both breakfast and lunch and clean restaurant.

I love the menu choices . There is a variety of breakfast brunch lunch . It is open until 2:00. It is a very busy resturant with a wait list. It's is a big resturant with slit of tables. I love the outdoor seating weather permitting . There are many parking lots with different time frames. They have the calories on the menu for your mindfulness. I always enjoy this place and the area. read more

Every time I've tried to come here before I was scared off by the waitlist. I was sooo excited to finally stop in this morning & had really high hopes. I figured it must be so popular for good reasons. It wasn't awful by any means but it also wasn't too special. The avocado toast was a little bland and the fruit cup was tiny. I was really into the tiny skillet the eggs were served in tho that was cute read more

Sadly the menu changed. You can tell this is because of the economy. They took away so many good dishes and mostly everything is build your own. Hopefully this change this. But until then I'll just eat someplace else read more

Spacious and comfortable seating, friendly service. However, the menu seemed really different from what I had at the Egg Harbor restaurant in Oak Brook. There, they had a long drink list including espresso drinks, and many of the brunch items had the option of having pancakes on the side. Here, no espresso drinks were on the menu - we were told they are about to install an espresso machine so maybe that will change soon. The menu seemed shorter than the Oak Brook location, and pancakes as part of the brunch entree was not an option. Most items came with a toasted English muffin and signature jam (the jam was actually delicious). The brunch selection was pretty standard; the maple bacon was fantastic but the brunch potatoes were bland and looked like they came frozen from a bag. What I did really like was that the kids meals were very reasonably priced - $7 gets two pancakes, a scrambled egg, one fat juicy sausage (or 2 strips of bacon) and a beverage. read more

Utterly disappointed. Love avocado toast because I like avocado... this toast had thinnest layer and no avocado flavor... for the price you pay I feel this was not worth it.. kind of feel nipped.. I did ask the waitress if this is really how they make the toast (with very thin almost non existent avocado) and she said yes. I showed her the dry edges. Be menus also not clean as they had crusty food on edges. read more

The food is always amazing and our server, Cesar, was very attentive and kind. My Diet Coke never ran out!

Had brunch here. No wait and staff very accommodating with seating preference. Wait staff helpful with recommendations. Our order was delivered to our table very quickly. Strawberry Mimosa was a refreshing way to start our brunch. Not too sweet. So good!! I ordered the Carnitas Skillet. Meat and potatoes well seasoned and flavorful. Over medium eggs cooked to perfection. I also ordered the Swedish Pancakes. Texture palatable and the light dusting of powdered sugar with Lingonberry Butter and Lingonberries delicious!! My husband ordered Matt's Meaty Skillet and he asked to add Chorizo. He said the addition really elevated the taste with its spicy flavor. He also ordered the seasonal Pumpkin Pancakes, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Yes, I will go back and yes, definetly recommend eating here. read more

To be quick, I would not visit again. I had read the reviews and decided to give it a try but was very disappointed with the food. To start off, the potatoes tasted frozen and were undercooked leaving it a weird frozen taste. The fruit was okay, but they had a weird soapy taste. I tried the banana bread French toast and the flavor was fine, but it was burnt around the edges. I had ordered a burrito but the whole cilantro stem was in the burrito rather than the leaves. The service was great and the server was very nice. I also really enjoyed the decorations and ambiance, but the food did not match. read more

The food, and service is excellent. All the staff are courteous and helpful. I would rank the Harbor at five stars.

Very disappointed, the fruit was moldy, the avocado spread was not fresh, and the overall experience was not the quality that is expected. Cesar our waiter was very nice and provided good service. Even as we left 4 employees standing around the register, not a goodbye, how was everything, come back again. I have been coming to this location for years, unfortunately will not be coming back. read more

I'm not a breakfast person most of the time but this day I was. It wasn't very crowded during this darn pandemic but we were seated and they seemed grateful for our presence. Our server was incredibly friendly and fast! The food was amazing and filling and I loved that bit of spice. Top that with eggs and cilantro with a dash of hot sauce!! I love how it was served in hot plates which only added to the quality of the food and experience. I'm definitely a fan and will be back for more selections that I wanted to try. read more

This was a happy surprise ending to a fun night away! Totally recommend Egg Harbor. Tucked into the quaint downtown of Libertyville, this was an awesome brunch spot to cap off a weekend visit. My Bloody Mary was spicy, with crispy bacon and fresh shrimp- a perfect match! I got shakshuka with perfectly poached eggs- savory, rich, and just a touch of sweetness ...a dish to remember. My wife had a fantastic chicken salad sandwich with some super crispy potatoes and a fresh lemonade. Great service from John and a coffee mug to go! Awesome spot! read more

Egg Harbor is delicious and reliable at each location. We visited the Wheaton location for the first time yesterday and enjoyed good service and tasty breakfast food. Our server was friendly and prompt. The cinnamon roll French toast is always very good, while my husband had a chicken salad sandwich and potatoes. Their breakfast potatoes are flavorful but not greasy. This location is in cute downtown Wheaton, so walk around before or after your meal! read more

In my world, a restaurant is already great if they allow dogs but when the service is wonderful & so is the food? Sign me up! I ordered the heavenly hazelnut coffee & the berry oatmeal (which came with brown sugar & a delicious English muffin) and I was super pleased! Our server Charlie was also so sweet! Downtown Libertyville is such a cute area and this fits in perfectly. read more

some of their food is good and the service is awesome dont get me wrong but here's the catch, i just ordered the scrambled eggs and it was the most disgusting pile of mush it was basically like porridge and I immediately threw up due to the dubious dish. read more

Great vegetarian options! Delicious green juice and coffee drinks. Always good service also.

We have been going to this restaurant since they opened and it never disappoints. The food, the service and atmosphere are best!

The food is so delicious and the service is always reliable. The lobster scramble is a winner, and their club sandwich is fantastic. Also, if you order ice tea, they give you an ice tea to go. It's wonderful! read more

I went to Egg Harbor for the first time in a while. I have only been to this establishment one other time. There was no wait, which was a major bonus because I know it is a popular breakfast spot. It was so good and I believe the portions are just right. I ordered a hot chocolate and the Cassie's Crepes. The crepes came with a homemade poppyseed dressing which offers the perfect amount of tang to the crepes that are filled with avocado, mushrooms, eggs and jack and cheddar cheeses. They also come with potatoes and buttered English muffin with house-made jam. Their hours are limited so get there or order online before 2:15pm. read more

Egg Harbor Café - Hot chocolate with sprinkles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Libertyville, Illinois

First brunch home for the holidays with my family! We found this restaurant in our favorite part of Libertyville. We called ahead of time and ended up waiting on our table for about 30 minutes which is the same time we were told on the phone. They made a great little waiting area with seats and a heater right outside of the actual restaurant for the winter months. The best part of the wait was the free coffee right at the front! The restaurant was decorated with holiday themed items and it seemed very comfortable in there. While there was a lot of seating and it was packed, you're far away from everyone to make it your own experience. Our waitress was very kind and came to us right as we sat down to get our drink orders set. She explained the menu thoroughly and was very helpful in making substitutions. My food came out wrong the first time, but she immediately took it back and came out with a whole new plate. Now some restaurants like to pick out the wrong ingredients or just change one thing and bring you back the same plate, but not this place! They made me a whole new dish, which I really appreciated, and quickly too! Overall, the food was great! We had a great variety and lots of options to choose from even for my vegetarian mother. I would highly recommend this place for a family breakfast/brunch. The experience is worth the wait. read more

Great food & service! Been going for years, the banana bread slices are delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Baiba, July 11, 2024 My friends and I got there for brunch, and I ordered eggs Bennedict. Usually, they are pretty good but this time the eggs were overcooked, and the yolks were hard. So, I pointed this out to the waitress, and she said she would bring me new ones, which she did. They were poached eggs alright but served on a small plate. I had to scrape my other eggs off the muffins, put them on the plate and put the poached eggs back on the muffins. Thank you very much. read more

$4.00 for a cup of brewed coffee, let's just start with that. Food tasted okay but way overpriced. They should invest in another dishwasher, glasses were dirty x 2 as was my spoon. The bathroom was filthy. Do a little better for a a place in libertyville. Just my thoughts. read more

This is one of our family's go to breakfast place because of how quick the service is and the quality of the food. Everything we have tasted here is absolutely delicious. The eggs are always cooked well, the ingredients used in dishes are fresh, and there are options for everyone on the menu. The prices are fair and the employees are always kind. I have come here many times and will continue to come. I recommend this breakfast joint to anyone who is in the area! read more

Not a strong showing for Egg Harbor. Been here a few times before with better experiences so will stick with 3 stars but this experience would be more of a 1 or 2. Our server was kind enough and our food came out quick but it was underwhelming. I got the door county chicken sandwich and it was ok. The toast was greasy, so much so that I had to wipe my hands after each bite. The potatoes were not much attended to. Flavorless and cold. The salad had more water in the bottom than dressing. My husband got the meat skillet and said it was ok. The final straw for me was when I went into the bathroom. It was not clean and desperately needs some updates. Because I have had good experiences in the past I would try again. read more

We got welcomed by very friendly staff. They had a ton of humor, made my kid laugh. The food tasted like a 5 star restaurant in Cancun. We had to wait a little to get our table, so I would recommend to get more tables and make an addition in the restaurant. Overall, great place and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to taste the 5 stars of food in Libertyville. Somewhat large space. read more

What a great find! This was my first visit and it was a great experience! The menu selection was unique and well done. I had the chorizo chilaquielles with eggs and my wife had a quinoa skillet. We had six people in our party and everyone enjoyed their particular meals. Nice to have everyone happy for a change with a resturant choice! i would easily recommend this place to eat but be prepared for a wait at certain times of week/day. Well worth it as the food and service does not disappoint. read more

A friend and I had lunch at Egg Harbor today. We arrived a little before 1. They close at 2. Much to my amazement a little before 1:30 I heard a vacuum cleaner. Someone was vacuuming right around the tables/booths where people were eating. In addition, our waitress disappeared around the same time. Didn't see her again til just before 2. As we walked out I noticed that she, another waitress, and the hostess were rolling silverware in napkins. I guess this took precedent over taking care of the customers. read more

We went for breakfast a couple of weeks ago while running some errands in the suburbs. Sadly, we didn't have a lot of time to spend in, since we had some appointments, but we loved the place, and the patio specially. Cute little spot to eat in, very low key. I ordered the avocado toast and my fiancé the salmon benedict. delish!!! Attention was really good too, everyone following the guidelines, sanitizing very often, and payment was contactless through a QR code with your phone! Hopefully we will be back soon with some more time to enjoy this place! read more

From start to finish from the moment we walked in from being greeted to the positive experience at the table- they had many gluten-free items, and are allergy friendly- as I'm writing this and didn't have any shellfish contamination , neither did my sister have gluten exposure which a lows us to eat without worrying if it could cost us our lives! read more
