Egg Harbor Cafe

My favorite brunch place! Separate kitchen area for GF foods. So many great choices on their GF menu: cinnamon rolls, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, etc. Can’t go wrong here!

Favorite breakfast place. Their gf cinnamon rolls are amazing! They have a dedicated kitchen space and I’ve never gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Many Gluten Free options. Traditional breakfast entrees, and also items that are hard to find GF like cinnamon rolls and pancakes. Bottomless coffee pitcher on your table and even a complimentary To Go cup. Your GF selection arrives on a unique color plate so there is no confusion by kitchen or server. Top quality food, prepared carefully, provides a thoroughly enjoyable and Celiac safe dining experience. I have eaten here often without any reaction. On weekends it can be extremely crowded (it is right on the Naperville River Walk) with rather long waits, but definitely worth any inconvenience.

The gluten free menu had many options. The food is served on a separate to make sure there is not cross contamination. The food was amazing and I would recommend the gf cinnamon rolls!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They offer an extensive GF menu, but not Dairy free. Extremely disappointed!! Used to offer DF, but no more. Don’t they know most folks that are GF are Dairy intolerant too? Last visit for us. Sad because used to be a staple place we would go and not get sick

The staff is very knowledgeable and assured us they would be very cautious while cooking my daughters breakfast. She is 8 years old and newly diagnosed. Usually we have a lot of tees when we go out to eat because she is limited on her choices. But this place can make almost anything on their menu gluten free! Wish we lived closer!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have never gotten me or my girlfriend sick so I can confidently say their kitchen practices are very safe and thorough for Celiac people. and their customer service is great as well. On one occasion we thought they had given us regular gluten pancakes because they were very fluffy and looked too good to be true. The manager got us a double order of gluten free pancakes complementary and asked us to bring back our original order so he could show his kitchen staff upon arrival. He explained to us that our pancakes were in fact, gluten free. He still gave us the double order and we apologized for the inconvenience. But I have nothing but good things to say about this place :)

Was very disappointed to find out AFTER they served us our pancakes that they don't make dairy free GF pancakes anymore. We made it very clear to the server that a member of our party has a dairy allergy in addition to celiac. Again, very disappointing - not just because they don't offer dairy and gluten free pancakes, but more so that their standards for the care of customers with allergies has turned negligent. This used be a safe place to eat - not any longer.

It's a pretty busy place, but for good reason. Huge gf menu! They are very vigilant about preventing cross-contamination as well. I have gotten a wide variety of delicious items here (omelet, quinoa bowl, pancakes)!

Everyone at Egg Harbor is well trained and attentive to us with Celiac as well as other allergens. This store is exceptional with a GF menu, great options, great process ( the plate is a unique color for allergens and has a GF sticker for all to see ) and the food is delicious. I've been back many times in the last 6 months and will continue. I do wish they would open another store in south Naperville. Build it and they WILL come. Well done Egg Harbor.

Great GF menu options, fun service, what more could you ask for? This location serves Sweet Ali's products. Be forewarned, the waits can be long during traditional "brunch" times, especially on Sundays. Call ahead before you. If you do go they have a lovely park across the street to wait in if the weather is nice.

Great food and service. So many GF choices.. I had the GF cinnamon roll breakfast.... Delicious....

Celiac friendly?

No

They were amazing about helping me get exactly what I wanted GF and DF! Separate GF menu with a lot of choices and let me substitute things that contained dairy for anything else no extra charge. The kitchen manager was so knowledgable and helpful. I've eaten here several time and have never gotten sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Best gf pancakes in the WORLD! Pretty great gf breakfast menu, friendly knowledgeable wait staff. When you order coffee they bring you your own carafe. There is a reason why people wait for 30+ mins to eat here - it's worth it!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

There are still delicious options for me now that I'm gluten-free!

Gluten-free options are great. The wait was outrageous; don't recommend dinning on a Sunday morning.

I've tried both the gluten free cinnamon roll and their pancakes. Both were outstanding. I always loved their skillets, but now I have an additional items I can't wait to order

Great spot for breakfast. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable and take celiac seriously. There was a mistake and my food came with an English muffin. The meal was quickly removed and they made me a new meal. Waiter even double checked that first meal wasn’t just “recycled”. Highly recommended

This is the second time we have been here and so far so good. I am celiac and have not had any issues. While they do not have a GF space in kitchen I have not had cross contamination issues. They have a GF cinnamon roll they get from a local bakery that is soooo good and the rest of the family really likes the other dishes. On our list of regular places.

This used to by favorite brunch place for celiac safe food, but the last time I went I got horribly glutened. My mom (also celiac) had the same reaction when she tried going again after that. I’m not sure if it was the staff or a change in protocol, but we made clear both times that we had celiac disease and they said they could accommodate. Please be cautious going here, I hope they can make it safe again!
