A very cute brunch place with lots of options! Everything we ordered was super tasty and the portions were very generous.

I've seen people talking about Egg Harbor and decided it was finally time to visit with my friends and OH MY GOD!! It was absolutely incredible, prices were great, the atmosphere was so welcoming and enjoyable, service was incredible (thanks Debbi!), and food was delicious! When we were seated, the water glass did have a lipstick stain on it, but our server (Debbi) genuinely apologized and just delivered impeccable service. Even when I asked to take the rest of the food to go, she brought me extra lingonberry butter, syrup, and lingonberry compote (which was so nice of her as it was scrumptious). I will 10000% be back! (Also be sure to join their rewards program)! read more

Egg Harbour for morning nourishment sou ded awesome. Several locations in the Chicago area. Ambience is nice, normal for a breakfast place... Server was friendly, efficient and knowledgeable Food - great breakfast and lunch options. Toasts, wraps, scrambles, omelets. Interestingly Shashuka(one of my favs) and a signature Habanero Hash with chorizo and accompaniments, I ordered and added avocado. Rest of the table had an avo toast, a meaty skillet and an omelet, so we ran the gauntlet of many items... All food was good, potatoes crisp, eggs cooked properly, plentiful portions and overall satisfyingly unctuous! read more

Great breakfast! Had to wait 20 min for a table, but ordered coffee and enjoyed it outside while we waited. My wife enjoyed the spicy Bloody Mary with a ton of garnishes with her tasty Avocado Toast. Toast was full of flavor on crusty Sourdough. My breakfast sandwich was full of perfectly scrambled eggs, bacon, and cheese, along with tomato. If I got it again, I would leave off the tomato. Delicious sandwich, but got wet with the tomato. Always great food at Egg Harbor. read more

Came to get breakfast with my friends for one of their birthdays. We were checking on yelp and were drawn to the amazing pics of food and the high reviews so wanted to give it a shot. The restaurant itself gives a nice spacious small diner vibe. We were greeted right away and seated. Our waiter gave us our menus and came to us quickly. Since it was our friends birthday, we decided to all get some drinks to start it out. we got the strawberry-orange and orange mimosas. Came out it cute glasses but taste-wise, I think it wasn't the greatest hit for our group since most of us barely drank more than half. Could also just be the early morning. For our breakfast, we ordered Avocado Toast w/ over-easy eggs, Lobster Scrambler, Garden Scrambler, Shakshuka w/ side of corn beef hash, Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes and Classic French Toast. Our server also must have heard us mention our friends' birthday because he surprised us with birthday pancakes for her, which was a really nice touch. The food came out quickly and was delicious. The best in our opinion was the Avocado Toast, Lobster Scrambler, Shakshuka and Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes. The corn beef hash fell slightly flat for me, was a bit dry, but was decent once I mixed it with the over-easy eggs. Personally the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes were quite exceptional but I love cinnamon. They seem to do exceptionally well with their egg dishes and the pancakes. I would definitely want to return to give a shot to some of their other omelettes and pancakes! read more

Nice to sit outside and enjoy a breakfast. The mozzarella tomato and avocado went together perfectly, and what can I say about the French toast, just amazing with the berries. Great start to our day. Service was awesome. read more

The food was good and they had a lot of variety in their menu. I got the pancakes which were tasty but I think they needed a bit more flavor. To drink I got the orange juice which was really good but it came in a glass like 3 or 4 inches tall which wasn't enough and was too expensive. The lady who attended us (Rachel) was nice but didn't pick up some glasses when we asked her to. read more

This breakfast place has a great patio and a large indoor seating area. We were waited on very quickly and the server was so friendly and grabbed our drink order pretty fast. Delicious vanilla cold brew! The joes health scrambler was absolutely perfect. It was filling enough while being served with fresh fruit and an English muffin. The scramble itself was tasty as they used a good amount of cheese with the veggies. The jam was also great! I added the egg harbor seasoning blend that was on the table and it really tied it together well! read more

Egg Harbor Cafe is not only gluten-free friendly, it's got a entire section on the menu dedicated to gluten-free dishes - nice!  Everything I've tried here to date has been delicious :-) On our last visit, we arrived early and were seated immediately.  Our waitress was both attentive and friendly; she brought everything we ordered out quickly, with zero mistakes. My Avocado omelet with bacon was awesome, and their fruit was fresh and delicous; the portion sizes were so generous that we both found it impossible to finish everything :-) read more

The service and the creative and broad menu earn the stars here - the execution left a little to be desired. This was our first time so it could have just been an off day, but we both felt like while we had lots of great options to choose from, the ones we chose were disappointing. For example you can see in the picture that the strawberry crunch French toast was just doused in the strawberry cream cheese so much so that there was no crunch at all. That being said, the eggs were poached perfectly, the bacon also spot on, and the drinks were really yummy. read more

This place is beautiful! I come here often as. UChicago student whenever I'm around at the downtown campus. I got their avocado toast which came with a side of eggs and fruits. The service was okay, a bit slow because it was on a busy weekend, but we were able to get a table within less than 15 minutes even though we had no reservation. Overall, great food and great atmosphere. The food was a bit overpriced in my opinion, but this should be expected given the area the cafe is located in! read more

Great spot! I've been here a few times and enjoyed both breakfast and lunch items. Most recently I tried their iced brown sugar latte, which was delicious (of course) and Gregg's chili and eggs, which was also delicious! And unique I might add. I've tried some of their sandwiches, which were super yummy too. Overall it's a great spot with friendly service, a laidback vibe, and great brunch options! read more

Great spot for a large breakfast or a quick bite if you come when they open! They have something for everyone on the menu. I got here just before they opened at 7am but they let me come in early. The food came out fast even as the place started filling up. I can see how this place will get busy. Cappuccino - this came in their regular mug so it was giant! GF Cinnamon Roll Breakfast with 2 eggs over medium, bacon, and sub mixed berries for potatoes - the gluten-free cinnamon roll was good. The roll itself was not overly sweet; the cream cheese frosting gives it sweetness. It was a little undercooked for how I normally liked them but that probably helps it from not getting dried out. The bacon was undercooked for me too; the fat parts were white and squishy. The egg whites were cooked with a runny yolk. The berries was maybe 1.5 cups of blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries! Such a large portion! My waiter said the dish usually comes with a fruit cup and potatoes but I didn't want the latter. The fruit cup would have been melon slices so the berry cup was perfect. I had so much I took the rest of the berries with me in a to go cup! My server Omar was great. He suggested a gluten-free menu as soon as I mentioned I am GF. He will take care of you if you get one of his tables! Let me also say the gluten-free menu is large, 2 pages with everything from gf sandwiches, gf pancakes, egg skillets, and more. They have many options and will notify the kitchen to cook your things more carefully of you tell them you're gluten-free. read more

Yelp helped us out with our dilemma of figuring out a good breakfast spot during our visit to Chicago. Egg Harbor definitely didn't disappoint. Being in tourist central Miracle Mile), it was no surprise that this spot was jumping on an early Friday morning. We were quickly seated and served coffee to help us shake off the morning fog. Good strong coffee, but how about the food? Our server, Elijah, was very helpful with menu suggestions, and he didn't steer us wrong. (Outstanding service from Elijah, by the way...) My friend and I both had the Garden Scramble eggs, potatoes and English muffin. What better way to usher in the Fall than Pumpkin Walnut Pancakes? Everything was pretty good, but the flavors could've been kicked up a notch Great location, good food. I would definitely check them out again on another visit to Chitown. read more

This was my second time coming here and quickly thought it was my new breakfast spot in River North. I found something crawling in my fruit cup on a blackberry. My first thought was the fruit felt squishy and not fresh. I notified the waitress and she apologized and credited me $4.00. This is a serious issue and was hoping management spoke with me to address it. After contact corporate there has been no response as This is a serious health issue read more

A frustrating dining experience unfortunately. After sending back my bacon because it was literally burnt to a crisp and covered in foam, and getting new bacon that was just as burnt I was over it. My friend and I were on a business trip so we asked for a split bill and our server FORGOT and left us sitting and waiting for 20minutes. I motioned for her when she eventually passed by and she said "I forgot". Never mind we both had flights to catch. I wasn't impressed with this restaurant read more

On a whim we found egg harbor a quick walk from our hotel on mag mile and immediately loved it! Friendly staff and a nice bright ambience full of windows and natural light.

I'm not a breakfast/brunch person but I always enjoy my experience here! They have flavorful food and unique twists on classic breakfast/brunch items that make it more interesting than other breakfast and brunch places! I've been to both locations and the menu is the same. I enjoy savory options. I like the skillets and crêpes. The café drinks are also rich and tasty! They have great Blood Marys too. The staff are nice and friendly, and the service is pretty quick. The ambience is casual, but they have their own vibe/branding that's apparent in both locations. You can even buy their merchandise. The only thing I don't like is the servers stand there with the credit card reader when it's time to pay so you feel a bit rushed doing it. read more

I want to share that the food is pretty good but that's not the reason for a 3-4 star review. The restaurant was clean and lively and cute when we arrived. You could do an online waiting so you can be in line ahead of time. But when we arrived, expect to still be waiting for a waiter, menu, drinks, etc. the waiting time was so long and when we ordered drinks, our server often forgot about it and brought the drinks kinda late. The food was pretty good. I got one of the omelets, can't remember the name but all sounded really good. The drink was a frozen honey cappuccino and that was pretty good. However, my friend got the maple syrup bacons and we had to ask to return it. The bacon was burnt, and super hard. Like you could pick it up and hit it on the plate and it tasted burnt. That was pretty disappointing. Otherwise, food was good but service was pretty lacking. Honestly I would still recommend because all food tasted pretty good. Just keep in mind if the service. I give it like 7.6/10!!! read more

Arrived for brunch on a Saturday and there was a bit of a wait for walk ins. I ordered the shakshouka which was delicious and flavorful. I would very much recommend this dish, but also had a chance to try several other things my friends ordered. The lobster scramble, the chicken tortilla soup, all solid options. We shared the pumpkin pancakes and that alone would bring me back for more. The ambiance was busy bc the place is popular but not too loud. We were seated at a booth so it was intimate enough. At first visit, I believe this place is a good option for brunch any time! I'd visit again. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for brunch after a long day of travel and it was just what we needed. The menu is large and has great variety, fun fall specials, and they don't charge extra for add-ons like syrup, chocolate chips, etc... The service was also wonderful. Both the hostess and our waitress we very friendly and accommodating. I recommend looking on the website ahead of time to check out the wait time. We jumped on the wait list on our walk over and timing worked out perfectly. They did forgot my coffee until the food came out which was a bummer, but they offered a togo cup. One suggestion is to add all the coffee options to the brunch menu. I would not have known they had cold brew or lattes if the waitress didn't inform me! read more

Egg Harbor is my favorite breakfast spot in Chicago! I'm not sure if it is because I grew up eating at Egg Harbor's Lake Geneva location, but every time I eat Egg Harbor here in Chicago, it gives me a very homey and satisfied experience. My favorite thing about Egg Harbor is that they offer unique menu items that you cannot get elsewhere, they prepare them with perfect flavor and plating, and they do it at an affordable price point. I've always believed that every restaurant in Chicago should offer a menu that doesn't simply mimic everybody else. My go-to recently has been the lobster scramble. It is very tasty and flavorful. They include a side of potatoes along with an English muffin & jam, which all-together provides a very filling meal. They also make very good coffee and will prepare it just how you ask :) I can think of two breakfast/brunch restaurants in Chicago that everyone should try, and Egg Harbor is one of them! read more
