Egg Harbor Cafe

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.

They have an entire gf menu. However when I placed my order directly from the gf menu after specifically asking for the gf menu, my order ticket wasn’t marked gf. My togo bag had a separate paper bag inside with an english muffin (not gf) so just make sure to make them aware it’s an allergy order.

So worth it! GF Cinnamon Roll breakfast!

They are careful with the GF menu and have a TON of options! My favorite is the cinnamon roll meal with the cheesy harbor potatoes.

The service was wonderful and the gluten free menu had so many great options. I am looking forward to going back again!

Saw the excellent reviews and had to try it. I had their GF cinnamon roll which was great and their cheese grits are so rich and tasty. Definitely recommend.

I was impress when they told me they had Almond Milk on hand for my coffee. Great place, friendly staff. Wonderful food

Pretty good gluten free menu available. I had a breakfast that was 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, and a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting..... That cinnamon roll was OUTSTANDING!!! It had been a long time. I was very happy with my meal, the service, everything was terrific.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great menu with diverse options. My son had the gf cinnamon roll. The taste and texture were both good.

Had a delicious chicken salad sandwich with potatoes and fruit. No contamination issues at all. Definitely recommend!

SO GREAT! They are VERY careful with the food and well-trained. The food is delicious!

On a side note: I also have some issues with HFCS, but they have organic Heinz Ketchup on the tables! I COVERED my potatoes in ketchup! I was so excited!

They have a special gluten free menu. Gluten fee pancakes are good!

GF cinnamon roll was great! Servers were very friendly and accommodating. Definitely going back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So pleased with the awesome selection of gf food here! I got the gf cinnamon roll (they are from Sweet Ali's Gluten Free Bakery, they have gf pancakes too) and it was amazing! They have loads of options and our server was extremely knowledgable.

Very nice GF options on the menu. And they even have GF sandwiches and burgers!

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 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

Been here twice and no complaints either time. GF options are clearly labeled on separate menu and staff was helpful. Food was a 9/10! So good experience overall.
