“Yummy, cute place! We arrived at 9:45am on a Saturday and had no wait. The service and food were prompt. I had the cinnamon roll French toast and my husband had a personalized potato skillet! Both were so yummy and filled us up! Would recommend coming here is you’re looking for a relaxing atmosphere and great food for breakfast/brunch.”
“I love eating breakfast in this area. But there are good choices and not so good choices when it comes to foods. Their skillets are great and fruit crepes is okay. French toasts too is good. Over all, it's a good american breakfast/brunch resto, not my favorite though but budget friendly too.”
“Excellent breakfast! The Lobster Omelet and Meat Skillet were both delicious. Friendly, fast service, great atmosphere, and very welcoming staff. The best breakfast spot in Chicago!”
“I had a very enjoyable visit to egg harbor on a Saturday at noon. I was worried that the wait was going to be way too long but we sat right down. The food was tasty and came out relatively quick. Our waitress, I think named Lisa?, was beyond sweet. She would be a reason to go back. It’s nice to have a diner-esque restaurant to go to nearby.”
“Never a wait, and very consistent. Great spot for breakfast in downtown River north!”
“This is our favorite breakfast place in the city. Amazing gluten free options. Alexis is the best server!!”
“Very good went on a Monday late morning and have the brown sugar coffee delicious I would come back again”
“Excellent food, really nice staff, and an overall inviting environment! Kudos to Egg Harbor Cafe for putting customers over profit by choosing to set up space for children to play when they could’ve filled that space with additional seating.”
“I love this egg habour and have been a repeat customer now. The range of customizable egg dishes are terrific and on days where I want to be healthier and lighter I can swap out all the carbs for sauteed veggies and have veggies in my omlette it's so fabulous! This is now my favorite brunch place!”
“I'm gluten free and they have a whole gluten free menu!! It was so nice! They have plenty of options for all picky eaters. The food was delicious and the customer service was lovely. Just a great breakfast/brunch/lunch spot. Great price too! I'd definitely come back!”
