Gluten-Free at Egg Harbor Cafe

Excellent cafe in downtown Chicago. Was asked on entering if either of our party was gluten free (I am celiac). Was given gf menu. Lots of gf options. I had gf blackberry and banana pancakes, which were excellent. I’m going back again today.

Oh my 'Lanta! This place was absolutely incredible! They have a completely separate gluten free menu and it was all amazing for the prices. We were very impressed with the food presentation, the servers holding the gluten free food on separate arms, and just how tasty the food was. My brother has celiac disease and he is VERY sensitive (e.g if he eats a *bite* of something that has wheat/gluten in it, he will he sick for hours) and we didn't have any issues at all! 100/10 recommend for gluten free! (^_^)

I have celiac and felt very safe. This place was absolutely amazing! They have a seperate gf menu and prepare gf items separate and serve them on a green plate. They even carry gf plates on a separate arm. They have gf cinnamon rolls which were delicious, gf toast, and pancakes. The service was the best we have ever had. Every employee from hostess, to server, food runners, bussers, etc were so friendly. We are visiting from out of town, but if we lived here, we would come here all the time!

I love all of the EHC restaurants and this one just opened in August of 2024. They have a separate GF menu with extensive options (eggs, pancakes, sandwiches) and they are very knowledgeable about cross contact. They have a separate area in the kitchen for allergies and the plates are a different color for extra verification. Everything was delicious!

Recently diagnosed Celiac, I am still navigating restaurant ordering. Separate gf menu. I ordered the vegetable egg white omelette and it came with fresh fruit and potatoes. This is my first of 3 restaurants that I have left without bloating even after ordering gf. The menu is all about telling the server of any food issues upfront. Not dedicated simply gf options.

I had a great experience here! The gluten free menu is immense, so many options to choose from. I got the gluten free pancakes with scrambled eggs and sausage and they were incredible. I also double checked with the waiter about how they prepare their gluten free pancakes and he informed me that they cook the gluten free pancakes on a separate pan so they are safe. Also when the server set our food down he said gluten free which assured me they took proper precautions. Did not get sick and the food was very good, service was also great!

I always order off the GF menu, staff is always friendly and accommodating.

I love their hot and iced tea offerings. The Chai tea iced is superb.

I've now been to 3 different locations multiple times, consistent in quality and efficiency. And food is great!

I really enjoyed this place and its gf options. I’m intolerant and can handle cross contamination. I didn’t ask about specifics but enjoyed the gf cinnamon roll and the gf pancake. Both were very good and didn’t taste like gritty gf often can. I believe the menu mentioned getting their flour from a local place which usually is better than anything Udi. I would definitely return. My non gf family all enjoyed their meals of pancakes and crepes.

Food was great but the toast seemed a bit too good to be gluten free so I asked the server to confirm. She said it was gluten free but I am currently going through symptoms of being glutened… extreme bloating with discomfort. Don’t know for sure but be careful.

In the corner of a nondescript building but inside is nicely done. Food was delicious. I got the avocado toast. My meal came all on green plates to indicate gf. The toast was a little stiff, but it was good. Bacon side was good, fruit was freshly cut and delicious. Eggs perfectly done. Wonderful meal. Server was not friendly and actually rolled his eyes at me when I said I needed a minute (I’m used to having only 1-3 choices, right?), but we’re going back tomorrow because I want to try the shakshuka and it’s our last day. I had no inkling of gluten and am a very sensitive celiac.

They have a large GF menu with breakfast and lunch items. The menu includes a disclaimer that they cannot guarantee no cross-contact because it’s not a dedicated gf kitchen.

I had the GF cinnamon roll breakfast with eggs, bacon, and potatoes. The cinnamon roll was amazing - moist, gooey, with cream cheese icing. The potatoes were “blah” - precooked and likely sitting in a hot tray. Eggs and bacon were tasty. I might go back just for another cinnamon roll.
