BEST GF BREAD EVER!!! Unfortunately it is very expensive thought

Grace Dransfield

Thoroughly enjoyed my donut, wonderful + friendly service - I do wish there was more of a range for GF but very grateful and impressed with the bounce and taste. Could barely tell the difference from when I could eat gluten! 💕

Tabatha Phillips

Gluten, Vegan, and Vegetarian friendly! Soooo good! Loved it so much. Will return! Get the baked cauliflower!!

Good GF buns!

Aitor Novo

Be careful if you have a food allergy. I am celiac, asked for gluten free fish and chips, but I got food contamination. It made me vomit shortly after finishing.

Irena Savic

Delicious gluten-free burgers! Knowledgeable and family-owned.

Jake G

Am the food is gluten free. The owner is awesome.

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Legacy Pointe! Our daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last year so this one of the only places we feel fully comfortable eating at in town. We have been many times and we always have a great experience. Today was our best yet! Kierra was our waitress today and she is wonderful. We have had her before and she is always great! My husband loved the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and I got my usual, the hamburger ponyshoe. My girls got the kids burgers and the best fries!! This time we decided to finally try the flourless chocolate cake. It was amazing and my daughter absolutely loved it and it made her so happy, I about cried!

Katie McKee

Have eaten here many times and have always felt fine after

Joanne Gresh

Best place around for gluten free food. Not too many restaurants can pull this off but they do....

Nadine Soro

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. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, Egg Harbor Café is a must-visit for a delicious and satisfying breakfast experience!

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!

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.

Rango Me

ASA WAS AMAZING!!! Catered to our gluten allergy!!! He was so attentive and kind will definitely come bavk

Callie Bunker

Great place to take family and friends, breakfast, lunch or dinner all delicious. Have celiac and there are always safe options for eating gluten free. Servers are attentive and knowledgeable

Tamiko N.

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.

Khloe Carattini

Service was great the lady was super passionate about her business and what you put in your body all clean ingredients and doesn’t even taste gluten free I got the mango berry smoothie and the avocado scramble wrap

Joey

My experience was great for the most part. The restaurant was spacious and comfortable; the atmosphere was lively and fun; the bathrooms were clean; and the food and cocktails were fantastic. I chose Wildfire because our friend has Celiac, so I wanted her to have gluten-free options. She was pleasantly surprised that their gluten-free menu was so long. She said she was used to only having a few choices. The server also offered her gluten-free bread. So if you or someone you know has Celiac disease, this restaurant is a great choice. Just about everything took longer to make it to our table than most restaurants I’ve been to within the last few years. It wasn’t a horrible wait, but it was noticeable. Because of this, our server wasn’t around much. There were several times when I wanted to ask our server about another appetizer or another drink, but she never came by. That’s the only reason I took off one star—that, and the sneaky 3% they add to the check to offset costs. Yes, you can ask them to remove it, but it’s not like this restaurant is super cheap anyway. Why not add the 3% to the food in general if you’re struggling as a business? Regardless, I would definitely return.

Tony Kenobi

Best grilled cheese ever! My wife got the gluten free pita version and absolutely loved it as well. The sourdough they use gets a fantastic crunch, and the cheese tastes amazing. People complaining about the price need to go back to the preservative packed crap at McDonald's. Using only farmers market ingredients costs money. I'm glad to pay extra for quality.

Jessica Seeley

Delicious celiac safe breakfast!

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!

Steph

Update- I got glutened. Not safe for celiacs. Painfully mid. The food was disappointing for the price point ans there were gnats.

Patterns

The only sad part of this meal was when it was gone! My family is from the south and we spent several years in Europe as well. But even without that experience under our belts we would’ve tasted the love in the biscuits and the expertise in the divine savory crepes! The owner was incredibly friendly and the bakery was very tastefully decorated. The entire place has a very calm (dare I say, encouraging?) vibe that makes me want to bring all my future coffee dates or work interviews there. They also have a number of gluten and dairy-free options, which is so encouraging as someone with food sensitivities! Suffice to say, the food was amazing, the meal was timely, and my only regret was not grabbing a dessert or coffee for the road. 10/10 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jeff Klatt

Excellent gluten-free options. I look forward to another visit.

Jessica Nelson

Cute little Cafe. Was looking for a place that had a gluten free menu while visiting. Server was friendly and knowledgeable and reassured me that they had a seperate prep area and cooked gluten free food on a seperate grill. I ordered the steak sandwich and fruit cup. Little pricey for a sandwich that was more veggie than meat. Fruit had a funny taste to it, maybe because it was out of season. Husband ordered regular steak sandwich as well, it was in a pita. He liked it. Daughter ordered chicken club and thought it was very good. They also gave gluten free dessert. I did not indulge in dessert. Overall, not a bad place to eat. If in Chicago again I would definitely stop in. I have Celiac and did not get sick from eating here, so that is a bonus.

Amy Watterson

Great place if you are Gluten Free! They are very aware of cross contamination & Celiac disease. Our waiter took the time to go over the menu with me & give me details to ease my mind.

Claude Schlecker

Just had a gluten free Grilled Veggie Melt; fabulous taste, and texture. Wish I could be back in an hour for more but I am stuffed. Enjoyed the decor and service too!

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.

Michelle Glover

Go see Amanda!!!!! She was our server in the bar!!!! Amanda was attentive and detailed and laughed with us even though she was busy. We had the best birthday celebration ever. I never eat desert ever. Amanda recommended this berry crumble with ice cream gluten free! We gobbled it up! Best desert ever. I had no idea Wildfire even had such a thing! Thanks Amanda! You are a gift to those who meet you!!!! Naturally we were there for the killer chicken chopped salads!!!

Melissa Windover

Great gluten free options!

Arthur Breurkes

The food is really good, and they're very good with dietary restrictions such as gluten. I consider this place celiac-safe.

Frank Gengo

I'm neither vegan nor gluten-free, and I thought that oreo ganache cake was good as hell

Court Flannery

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

Jake Bamberg

Tia was an excellent waitress! She was very helpful with my wife’s gluten allergy!

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!

Ryan

Green Joe has great espresso, and thats all I've ever gotten here. They always have an array of local artists' wares on display, which is very cool of them. I noticed, as have many others, that they slowly ran out of things and closed down over the last few weeks/months, which was, as a customer, weird to witness. As for the negatives - this wasn't a coffee place you could go if you liked pastries with your coffee. All they stocked was a small selection of gluten free/vegan options, and the ones I tried were honestly the *worst*, inedible gluten free products I've encountered. The atmosphere was cold, I dont remember them ever playing music, and the only appreciable light was cool daylight from the huge windows. All hard surfaces - not a great spot to hang out if comfy cozy Cafe is your preferred vibe. The employees gave a similarly disconnected vibe - almost none of them were outwardly friendly, it was almost like ordering coffee from robots most of the time. Regardless, GJC is/was the only independent coffee shop in a huge radius. Their pricing was great as was the espresso. I certainly hope they can reopen, at least for the sake of all the locals who lived closer than I did. If not, I guess Brewpoint and Conscious Cup are my only remaining options!

Erica Buzicky

Good gluten free options

Elizabeth McGill

Has great gluten free food.

Matt L

Good gluten free options for my child.

Joy Johnson

A gorgeous restaurant with fantastic food! Gluten free diners will rejoice at the options available. As soon as I said I was wheat allergic; the server detailed the kitchens designated prep area and all of the precautions they take to ensure a safe meal is delivered. This location has plenty of parking, is handicap accessible and can accommodate a larger party or 6-8. Any more than that I would call ahead. Highly recommend this place if you have special dietary restrictions. They were knowledgeable and the service was outstanding.

Daniel Rucci

Great food and wine. Good kids menu. Good gluten free and dairy free options. New facility. Friendly wait staff. We are regulars!

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.

Vanessa Kitova

Friendly staff, but a small (and generic) brunch order for a celiac party took 2 full hours. Safe food, but the wait was too much. Do not recommend blintzes unless you appreciate taking shots of vanilla extract (overwhelming in the filling).
