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.

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

This place is amazing! They have a dedicated menu with so many options I had a hard time deciding what to eat. They brought my meal out and announced that it was a gluten free dish so I didn't have to verify. The staff were very accommodating, there even offer to give you a to go cup of coffee if your are here for breakfast.

Perfect spot for a quick and tasty breakfast / brunch. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable on gluten. Separate gluten free menu and separate frier. Always careful to check if it is in fact an allergen. Kept coming back as so convenient for me while visiting Evanston.

They offer a gluten friendly menu. My son ordered their gf pancakes. 3 huge, light, fluffy pancakes. He was happy. I ordered the egg omelette one day and skillet another. Both really good. They ask when you enter if anyone needs gluten free.

Egg Harbor is one of my favorite chains! Their gluten free menu is very extensive and GF food comes out on separate colored plates. The cinnamon roll is my favorite, definitely recommend! It can get very busy on weekends tho, so prepare accordingly

Good food, breakfast/lunch options. Most importantly, I did not get sick. Consistent Egg Harbor Cafe chain quality. Separate gluten free menu upon request with lots of options. I got the frittata, toast and orange blossom green tea which is served loose leaf. Everything was yummy! They have the Sweet Ali’s gf cinnamon rolls that everyone loves. I actually preferred the gf toast with jam though. I really liked their bread. Looking forward to going back and getting a sandwich or avo toast with that bread. I did not ask about food prep precautions as I was relying on the Egg Harbor chain’s gf reputation. That’s why I scored the Safety rating at only 3 hearts.

so delicious! I had the shakshouka, chicken sausage, and cinnamon roll - I couldn’t pick!

No reaction to anything, the cinnamon roll was DELICIOUS and gooey, and the sausage and shakshouka were both great as well.

Separate griddle and prep space with knowledgeable wait staff. I reccomend!!

Fantastic separate gluten free menu (request it from your server), but they do not have a dedicated kitchen area for prep, so beware of cross contamination. Cute space, though a bit noisy, even when it's not crowded. No effective noise dampening, so lots of reflection. Staff was cheerful and responsive. Food was delicious!

I had a skillet and the cinnamon roll and both were really delicious and I don't think I had any reaction (i get bloated from other things than gluten so it's hard to tell sometimes). My only problem was that I asked the manager how the gluten free food was prepared and he said that they had a dedicated gluten free griddle for the pancakes, and so that would probably be my safest option. but then i spoke to the waiter who then asked the cooks and she informed me it wasn't a dedicated griddle, it was a dedicated place on the griddle and that she thought a skillet would be a safer option. Well that was confusing but it was very good and I feel good.
