“I really liked it here! Plenty of options, Good food and great service :) looong wait tho😅 we waited almost 2hrs I guess depending on the day you'll have better luck! I didn't have a reservation”
“My husband and I came during our trip to Chicago and found this place. Breakfast is my favorite meal and this place did not disappoint! We ordered coffees and I got the Geneva Rösti meal and a cinnamon roll. Everything was so good! Would highly recommend and come back when we’re back in the city.”
“Great, attentive and friendly service. Food was yummy. I almost had to lick my plate to finish every drop lol. I had Shakshuka. It was perfectly balanced and perfectly moist without being too runny. One of the best Shakshukas I’ve ever had I would say. They have a lot of options on the menu also. My coworkers ordered salads and they looked really good also with lots of topics and ingredients although I can’t speak for the taste. Great place overall!”
“There was a wait for folks wanting indoor seating, but I was immediately seated outside. No complaints. Everything was delicious.”
“Super yummy French toast! The egg was well cooked. The staff is super friendly. The breakfast potato…. Taste like cardboard but anyway. I got a hazelnut oatmilk cappuccino and it was sooo creamy and yummy 10/10.”
“Super sauberere Laden. Die beste BlodyMarry weit und breit.”
“Great coffee , breakfast/brunch and safe for celiac folks. Lots of healthy and indulgent options.”
“Went to Egg Harbor Café in Chicago and it was amazing. They have great gluten-free options, so my girlfriend (who has Celiac) was able to eat safely, which we really appreciated. The server was attentive, checked in often, and made sure everything was taken care of. I ordered the habanero skillet and it was incredible — super flavorful and perfectly cooked. They cook their food in beef tallow, which makes everything extra rich and tasty, and the seasoning they use is on point. Overall, awesome food, great service, and a place we’ll definitely be coming back to.”
