Dedicated menu, served on different color plates. Good stuff. Update: I've had stomach pain all day which I think is one of my symptoms. I can not be certain I got glutened but will definitely order something more simple next time to limit possible cross contamination. Changed to 3 stars because I can't be sure.

Yes, they have a GF menu with GF pancakes. However, my omelette was microwaved and had hard cheese on top as if it had been frozen. I've had much better food at the Wheaton EH.

This is one of my two favorite locations for the Egg Harbor Cafe that I like to to go to. Nice GF menu, though they don't serve the Sweet Ali's pancakes like in Naperville and Hinsdale.

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!

Have been many times with my celiac family - no issues!

They have a huge GF menu, safe handling protocols, and even separate colored dishes to cue staff and diners that the food is gf. We love it here
