Egg Harbor! What a DG staple! And still hitting home runs since it first opened. I spent many days in my youth visiting this location and it's been years since my last experience. Felt a little like I stepped back in time when I walked in, as the décor and layout is identical to years ago. I will say it's the same Egg Harbor, but stepped up a notch. My go to has always been the skillets. Eggs and your choice of topping layered or the harbor potatoes - the best. Another thing I love about Egg Harbor is the fact they offer goat cheese and therefore I'm able to order my favorite combo of ingredients. The coffee is strong and lattes are delicious. We went with a group of 6 and everyone walked out raving about their meal. This place is always hopping on the weekend but they are a well oiled machine and get you in and out promptly. Parking can be tough, but you can at least get added to the waitlist by calling. read more

Have done here twice during the week during brunch time (10/10:30) and have had good experiences both times! Food is good. Price seems okay for what you get. Paying with a QR code makes it easy for large groups! read more

Egg Harbor Café - Caught this campaign too! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Downers Grove, Illinois

Egg Harbor in downtown Downers Grove is such a cute breakfast spot! They have a great variety of breakfast options and also accommodate people who are gluten-free with a full dedicated menu. I ordered a brown sugar latte and it was very good smooth, sweet, and flavorful. My scrambler came loaded with cheese, which I loved. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Definitely a great place to start the morning! read more

I was looking for a dog friendly breakfast place on a Sunday morning. This Downer's Grove EHC showed up on the list so I called them first to make sure that they still do. So off we went to this EHC location. We were lucky (or early) enough to find a table outside. We were greeted by our server right away. We were given glasses of water on our table, plus a bowl for water for the dog. On this visit I tried: AZTEC OMELETTE- delicious LEMON POPPYSEED PANCAKE- I should have asked for the lemon icing on the side because it was too sweet for me. The pancake was dry but the strawberries were fresh. ULTIMATE SKILLET- heart and satisfying Overall, no complaints on the food and the service was friendly, attentive and efficient. I will definitely come back to this location, especially on a nice day to bring along the dog and sit outside ;) read more

Got the ultimate skillet with eggs over easy and had the egg muffin side with side of jam. Very good portion size and the jam was delicious. Ordered the French toast to share with my husband, but they gave us the cinnamon roll French toast. It wasn't too bad, just reminds me of the cinnamon toast crunch cereal. Coffee with chocolate flavor was very delicious though. Had a nice hint of chocolate. read more

I wouldn't say it was bad and I wouldn't say it was excellent. The food menu is fairly large and offers a lot of options including a separate gluten free menu just ask your server. Food was okay and for the price I would say that the portions were small. Our server brian however was great ! read more

I absolutely love their skillets, their harbor Potatoes are seasoned well and every time I eat here it's always a good and fulfilling meal. Unfortunately, I do have a but... today I ordered coffee with my takeout, and I specifically asked for the milk to be replaced with oat milk, and based off the way my stomach is reacting They did not switch it out... Kind of disappointing, but I do still love their food. read more

Order from here a lot. The menu features a great selection of classic American breakfasts, different, pancakes, and seasonal specials; for lunch, you can order breakfast or lunch, which includes salads and sandwiches. The food is always tasty and the service is always friendly. When ordering online for pick up, the pick up times aren't always accurate (it takes longer, especially during the lunch hours). read more

I enjoyed the chicken sausage and goat cheese scrambler and a side of chorizo hash. Flavorful and tasty. They haven't perfected the potatoes for both, a bit on the wet side side for my taste. I like the farmhouse atmosphere. Service was friendly but if you're in a rush you should take your food to go. read more

The atmosphere of Egg Harbor is bright, warm, and comfortable. The vibe is cheerful and welcoming. A nice spot to grab a solid and satisfying breakfast. They have a good sized menu with plenty of options for all sized appetites and food preferences. Additionally, all items on the menu have the calorie count listed next to them, which is obviously helpful if you're watching what you eat. The service is friendly and attentive. For breakfast I had Gregg's Chili and Eggs which is black bean chicken chili, melted jack and cheddar cheese, tomato and green onion on top of an egg white omelette. It comes normally with an English muffin but I asked for Texas toast instead. I also got it with fruit instead of the potatoes it normally comes with. It was very good. It had a nice warm, creamy texture and very mild flavors. The crunchy toast and sweet jelly were the perfect accompaniment. The fruit serving was generous, fresh and juicy as well. Also, when you order coffee they bring you a small pot that stays on your table so you can refill it as you please. This is a nice touch I wish more breakfast places did. A Great way to start the day. I recommend it. read more

This was a nice breakfast place. It is tucked around the corner just one block east of Main Street by the Downers Grove train station. It is on the south side of and about 100 feet south of the Burlington RR tracks. Their dining room was spacious and very clean, and it felt like they had just recently re-opened from the Pandemic closings. The staff followed all the particular safety measures required by Covid-19 days. Service was very attentive. Food was good, even though the eggs on both our dishes were a bit overdone - a Garden Scrambler and simple Eggs and Pancakes. Pancakes were good and done right, although they could provide a bit more of the the faux maple syrup to sweeten them up. Coffee was the standout here - fresh, hot, and very satisfying. This was our first of an Egg Harbor Cafe outlet and it was nice. read more

It was pouring down rain the one time we ate here and we all were drenched. I got my usual eggs Benedict but added some earl grey tea to try and warm up. Everything was great from what I gathered from everyone else. My food was delicious and the tea was great, but I only received a small thing of honey and a very large glass of tea and they were very busy so I didn't have a chance to catch my waitress to ask for more. read more

Meh. I know that Downers Grove doesn't have a lot to offer so maybe mediocre deserves a higher rating, but I'd rather just get a bagel sandwich at Great American Bagel. The ambiance is forced and the food is acceptable, but not worth the 40 minute wait on the weekends. read more

Ate here a few times. Food and price is good. Nothing distinguishable, but they are consistently good. The side salad dressing is probably the only thing that needs work.

The hidden Egg Harbor cafe. Tucked off a street that doesn't exist! This Egg Harbor Cafe is off of Mochel (a brand new street east of new Arcadia on the Green building, which in turn is just south of the Metra station downtown downers grove). Head east on Curtis (one way) and you will see Mochel on the left. The Egg Harbor cafe is at the corner of Burlington and Mochel. My wife and I tried this place out on a Friday Morning. I appreciated the decent selection of Mexican inspired breakfast dishes (like Chiliquilies, Huevos Rancheros, and a Mexican skillet). I ended up ordering a Mexican my wife went with a combo plate (pancake, egg, sausage). The food was pretty good, though not amazing - basically another chain breakfast restaurant. The service, food, and restaurant reminded me of a LePeep's variation. I like LePeeps (and as such Egg Harbor) but not enough to drive out of my wife. I will take a nice long drive to Bongo Room - but not Egg Harbor. The only "really" bad part of our experience was our waitress. With almost no one in the restaurant (Friday AM not a busy day) she just wasn't there for us. I give it a 3/5 - nothing special, but nothing bad! read more

Always a great experience at one of my favorite breakfast joints in Illinois. This place is still the same. Nothing has changed. Used to live in this area two years back and used to go here every weekend. Love the polite staff, the fresh coffee and the delicious food. Our server Mike was very helpful. He made sure our 2.5 hour drive was worth the wait. Love the salads here with the poppyseed dressing. Love the harbor potatoes. Tried the egg salad/avocado sandwich today and I'm in love with it. The egg dishes are always very fresh and tasty here. You can get anything and it will be great. I'm so glad I went back. Brought back a lot of memories :) read more

A go to while in Downers! The chicken tortilla soup is a favorite! Usually ask for a couple more limes! The cinnamon roll French toast is so yummy! There is nothing that will ever disappoint. If service is ever slow, stop and think. Are there still staffing shortages and is it super busy? And if the answer is yes, have some patience and respect. It's not always the restaurants fault read more

I would eat breakfast here, almost every 4th of July holiday weekend, the Create Your Own Scrambler, Skillet or Omelette. I had the ham, Sausage, and the Mozzarella chesse. They taste like heaven on earth. The chocolate milk was very delicious and yummy. The service is very nice and friendly. The perfect breakfast restaurant in downtown Downers Grove, IL!!! read more

Tastes like First Watch breakfast and didn't feel much less commercial. Hashbrowns were a little greasy, server was a bit inattentive, and my coffee didn't taste super fresh, but I come back to places like First Watch (and I guess now Egg Harbor) because man do they do their pancakes right! The blueberry pancakes were so good. read more
