Egg Harbor, Café is hands down the best spot for breakfast! They offer a fantastic menu with something for everyone, including a dedicated gluten-free menu alongside their regular options. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and excellent service make it an absolute favorite.

Sara Janovsky

Loved the gluten free options!! So many things to choose from! I also loved that everything is made there and so fresh! Theresa was out server and she was amazing! I will definitely be returning!! I had the Candy Apple Pecan GF pancakes and the Smoky the Bandit skillet. I can't say enough about them. Fantastic!

Diane Schultz

Anytime I'm down in the Wilmette area, I try to eat here. I have Celiac'sand even though they're not a designated facility, I never have issues. They have a fairly large gluten menu including pancakes and waffles. I had eggs, pancakes and bacon. All were very good. My friend who doesn't have dietary issues had their corned beef hash. She said it was delicious.

Laura Lovato

Always my favorite restaurant. My comfort zone for sure. The gluten free pancakes are my guilty pleasure. But the best thing about the food is the fact that it is all clean ingredients. It cost more money but when I do go out this is the one place that I know my kids are eating healthy.

This spot is amazing—had on my Google list for a while!!! They do no processed foods and have a separate menu for vegan/vegetarian/gluten free-win! The meals ordered were super flavorful, filling and just the right portions! I loved the Vegan Fungi With Cauliflower hash—the addition of the cranberries and sweet potatoes was an added savory bonus! My friend also loved the maple Turkey sausage and the pancakes- that were thin instead of fluffy! They loved it! We left pleasantly full and at peace! Last but not least, we both loved our waiter who was super attentive and patient too! Will definitely come back and bring more people!

Jessica Cipicchio

Delicious food and creative specials. We miss their flavored coffees but getting an iced tea refill to go in still a nice gesture they do. The gluten free options are great, especially for our kiddo with celiac. Use the online tool and n their website to put your name on the waitlist; otherwise, the wait times can be crazy sometimes and the waiting area is right.

Jessica Seeley

Delicious celiac safe breakfast!

Georgina Kazan

First visit. Went on a Saturday at 1 ( they close at 2:30) put our names on waitlist online so hardly any wait. Lots of choices for many different diets- vegetarian, gluten free, etc. It was busy so it was quite loud but I guess that’s unavoidable. Prices are high. You can see them online. 3 of us ate breakfast, 2 coffees, 1 soda, and 2 biscuit appetizers- $125 with tip. Our waitress was great except our food was given to us by someone else and we asked them for butter (none was brought with pancakes) and extra syrup but never got it. Tried to get the guys attention to no luck and finally flagged our waitress down. Overall a fine breakfast with solid choices but in my opinion not worth the cost.

Jaclyn O'Day

Cafe Miele has an assortment of delicious fresh juices on their menu, an extensive gluten free menu, and is one of the most reasonably priced breakfast/brunch places in the area. I’ve been here several times and have always had a positive experience. Sometimes on the weekends there can be a short wait, but it’s well worth it!

Karen Allen

A favorite of mine! The Farmer's Market Benedict is delicious as are the Swedish pancakes with lingonberries. My sister has celiac disease, and Egg Harbor has a good selection of gluten-free items on their menu. Servers polite and attentive. Friendly atmosphere.

Court Flannery

I am gluten free and so greatly appreciate the extensive options at Egg Harbor! Loved my skillet!

Judi Gerstein

Love Walker Brothers ! Amazing apple pancakes. Gluten free options. Great coffee. Good service and prices.

Maddi Janae

Our server Amy was great! She did an awesome job at making sure we had everything we needed. They have an awesome Gluten friendly menu as well!! Many choices for food

Lexi Marie

My fiancé and I absolutely love this location! ❤️ We came today to celebrate our 6 year anniversary for breakfast since we have been enjoying Egg Harbor as one of our favorite breakfast places for most of our relationship. Sam is an absolutely fantastic server and it was such a pleasure to have her! She made sure my gluten intolerance was accommodated to the best ability and made some great recommendations too. Will always be our favorite breakfast place!

Angie Hurwitz

They have a large gluten free menu. I got the cinnamon roll breakfast - YUM!! Service was great!

Samantha Hendricks

I got the turkey chili and a pumpkin muffin. Both were delicious! I love that they have so many gluten free meal and dessert options. My husband got the southwest chicken bowl and he loved it. The chicken and asparagus were cooked perfect! Aside from the food, the restaurant was clean, bright, and had an overall nice atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful with questions. Definitely coming back to try more!

Colin O'Brien

I am vegan and have a gluten intolerance. Their pancakes can be made both vegan and gluten free. They were delicious along with their street taco avocado toast. Highly recommend coming here!

mark borries

Always great food. Didn't have too long of a wait which was good as this place is always busy. My wife had the gluten friendly pancakes and I had the meatlovers scramble. Both were great.

Jennifer Winthurst

I got the butchers block skillet. It was full of bacon, ham, sausage, cheese and hash browns. It was very good. Kind of salty with all the meat and potatoes but still very tasty. They don't have Splenda but they offer Stevia and regular sugar packets. I went on a Thursday afternoon and we walked in and got a table for 6 with no wait. If you're planning on going on the weekend I would plan for a long wait. Every weekend when I pass by the restaurant there's always a line waiting for a table. This restaurant is down the street from a lot of hotels and from major Chicago attractions like the Bean. I also got pancakes with my meal. All and all it was a good meal. The portions are generous. They do offer gluten free options. They have Coke products. My friend got their berry Bliss waffle. It looked delicious. Our waiter could have been better. I asked for oat milk and I got regular cream. My friend asked for a diet Coke and never got it until right before our food came out. They also have a large outdoor seating area.

After seeing a children's play at Marriott Lincolnshire,we decided to drive across the street for a late breakfast/early lunch to Walker Brothers. Opened in 1990,this location has an English feel to it with oak wood trim and beautiful stained glass windows. We waited only about 10 minutes for a table since we were a party of 7. Service was great. The menu is huge plus they have a kids menu and a gluten free menu. Kids had French toast and mini chocolate chip pancakes. Portion she was perfect. The gluten free blueberry waffle and egg dish were amazing. Also had their Chipotle Chicken crepes with potatoes pancakes. Chicken was blended with onions,mushrooms,and peppers in a not too spicy sauce. The potatoes pancakes could have been crispier which was my fault for not requesting them to be prepared that way. Comes with sour cream and apple sauce. Open 7 am to 230pm daily. Everyone was full and satisfied when we left. We will be back !

I have a gluten and dairy allergy. Walker bros could not accommodate my dairy allergy. "We only cook with clarified butter" Very disappointing.

Matt Ladd

Waffles both gluten free and regular we're delicious!

Briana Magnani

We absolutely love this place. Just today I called in a large order for work with lots of substitutions and everything was 100% correct. Service is always excellent, the food is delicious, and I have Celiac and have never had a problem getting safe gluten free options.

Amanda Casas

Everyone loved their pick!!! Such great service. I can’t stop thinking about their banana blackberry gluten free pancakes!

Elizabeth Rose

We were looking for a brunch place in Wheaton and decided to give this place a try. Parking wasn't too difficult to find on the weekend and the size of dinning room area is pretty good size. We were seated quickly and checked out the menu's. We were disappointed that the prices were not the same as the menu online, but wasn't too expensive. Food came out quickly and tasted great. I personally wasn't a fan of the gluten free pancakes, they tasted more like donut dough, but my friend who was enjoying hers said they were made with corn. Even though it wasn't my style of pancakes, it was still a nice brunch with friend. Peggy was helping us out and was amazing. I would recommend this place if you are looking to grab some food.

Mohammed AL

Good gluten free options

Lori Danajka

It has a very comfortable atmosphere and wide selection of food. I love they have gluten free and low calorie options also. Their homemade jam to go with the toast was awesome! They also have three non-dairy options for making their lattes. We had two if their specials for the day and they were amazing. The staff was so friendly. There's so much I want to go back and try!

Naomi Chambers

Excellent place for breakfast- many gluten free options great service

Abbie Mantor

We went for breakfast on a Saturday morning. It was busy, but the service was quick and friendly. The food came out very quickly and was very, very good. They have gluten free pancakes, which surprised me! I would highly recommend this place and we will absolutely go back next time we are in town.

Mary Wenthur

I got the tuscan scramble and it was DELICIOUS. I’m not a huge fan of breakfast foods sometimes but this was a fantastic mix of an Italian pasta and egg. With cheese, sun dried tomatoes, pesto, and chicken. No labels for gluten free items.

super cloudy

Ordered gluten-free pancakes and was given regular ones. My husband didn't get his meal until we were done eating.

Dana Farmer

They have many gluten free options. Great location and very friendly. I was visiting from out of town and stopped to dine-in twice.

Cami McBride

Extensive gluten free menu

Nikole treuthardt

Great gluten free options so tasty

daniel bumbaris

As someone with Celiac Disease, I love knowing I can trust the kitchen with their Gluten Free options. So many places will tell you that they are safe when they are not. I come here often and have never had an issue. They mark everything and double check when you inform them. Thank you Sanders Restaurant!

Cat Warren

The strawberry Belgian waffle will always be a favorite here. The apple pancake and Dutch baby are also traditional favorites at certain times of year. The food bloggers and critics out East can only aspire to these recipes. Gluten free options are solid and safe.

Jamie Stone

Had a large group with us for breakfast/lunch and the service was great. Excellent job handling a large group Food was very good. I try to eat gluten free and was so happy to see all the gluten free options. I had the gluten free French toast and it was wonderful I will definitely return

Allie D

I went to this restaurant with a friend and we were seated right away. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The establishment was pretty clean, but we did have to wipe the table down a little bit. I had ordered the berry oatmeal and a pancake on the side. My friend had ordered a gluten-free carrot cake, pancake stack, which they were able to accommodate. The food arrived in a timely fashion, and was hot, fresh, and pretty good! The waiter/waitress was at the table frequently for refills on coffee, or to see if we needed anything. All in all it was a very good experience, and I would return as well as recommend it.

Lynn Flynn

Good food, good service, gluten-free options, but a little too noisy. Parking lot very crowded on a weekday.

Nora Grutzius

Gluten free choices which were great! I enjoyed the mixed berry French toast. There was 3 pcs of French toast topped with fresh fruit, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. Coffee was hot and served in a pitcher at the table. Very cheery place with good vibes. Comfortable. Everyone was pleasant and greeted me.

Sage Manning

Amazing food, would recommend for anyone. Nice gluten free options

Barb C
