Egg Harbor Cafe

I was visiting some friends and family in Hinsdale, and I have celiac disease. Egg Harbor came highly recommended from non-celiac friends so I did some research. I was very happy with my experience! We were offered an GF menu before we even left the host stand. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly! The food was delicious and came out from the kitchen labeled celiac friendly.

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.

This location moved to downtown Hinsdale in 2021. Still the same great Egg Harbor care, food and service. There is also now an Egg Harbor off York Road in Oak Brook, have also eaten safely there multiple times.

My family loves it here! We have a child with a wheat allergy and have never had an issue. They mark the meal/plate as gluten free and have a huge separate gluten free menu. One of our favorite places to go.

Absolutely LOVE this place for Brunch! I love that I have an option for pancakes (from a local place Sweet Ali’s) cinnamon rolls, and more! My favorite is the tuna melt, it was my favorite thing to order at any diner before my Celiac Dignosis and so ecstatic I can have it here!

Best Gluten Free breakfast I have had since being diagnosed Celiac. Server was very knowledgeable, and the pancakes were as good as the real deal. They had an 8.5x11 menu covered front and back with options. Very impressed.

Went in this morning with my family. My youngest daughter who has Celiac disease ordered of the Gluten-free menu. The food was fantastic! Our wonderful waitress, Grace, was aware of Celiac and understood the importance of my daughter's food. My daughters food came on a separate blue plate than ours. When visiting Chicagoland again, this will be the place to go.

This is my favorite location in the chain to eat at. The staff is fast, efficient, and friendly, and they know their stuff! A couple of the servers are gluten intolerant and know what to look out for. Great location that serves Sweet Ali's products.

It was great to find such a delicious place with gluten free breakfast options. The cinnamon roll is the bomb! The staff was very knowledgable which made my visit even more enjoyable.

Absolutely an awesome place to eat. The gluten free food is delicious, the strawberry orange juice is a must order. You won't be disappointed with this place.

Fantastic GF options for my 10 yr old boy. There is also usually a small " specials" menu in addition to their regular gluten free menu. That's where we found a GF French toast with eggs special. Staff is aware of GF needs. We feel very good about dining here.

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
