Service and food are both always great! Can't beat the fresh squeezed orange juice! The food was good enough to be one of my last meals before my surgery! read more

I love Eating breakfast here! Have been to the Egg Harbor in Hinsdale many times, but this was my first time eating at the Geneva restaurant. Delicious breakfast food! I had half of an eggs benedict and my dining companion had soup and half of a sandwich. Very delicious food. Will definitely return on my next visit to Geneva. read more

Very clean and tastefully decorated restaurant but the food was so so at best . We had the Shrimp and Grits which lacked salt and spice also biscuits and gravy which could have used more sausage. Otherwise it was good as was the biscuit. Our over easy eggs were more towards med well. read more

I would give Egg Harbor extensive credit for understanding the color palette. In regards to breakfast, it makes no difference, you are served a presentation of food that relies on color contrast for your viewing pleasure. My argument here is...Egg Harbor is the "Master of Deception". Upon receiving your order, the visual is appealing, however the food is bland and tasteless. Second Point. I'm convinced Egg Harbor patrons consider this a "healthy choice" and a free pass to eat bacon, eggs, French toast & skillets. Why? You will not find a drop of grease anywhere! I think all food here was developed by NASA... freeze dried and air brushed for color! Yes, somewhere on the plate you'll find fresh fruit to add to the color palette and deception. Genius!!! $$$ Hey, the service here is good and they will serve you tasteless crap with a smile! "Enjoy" read more

Delicious food and quite a selection! I had a salad and it was sooooo good! I would definitely recommend :) read more

Egg Harbor Café - Door country chicken salad - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

We go to Egg Harbor once a week (either Saturday or Sunday). It's that good. The breakfast menu is awesome! I have tried so many things that I love and haven't even tried everything yet. The service is superb. Because we're regulars, several staff will stop by our table to see how we are doing and just chat. They are allll such sweet people. Expect to wait so don't go here if your so hungry you're about to eat your arm off (especially on Sundays) read more

Got there at 1115am on a Friday (the 4th of July) and it was already full. Only waited 5 minutes, but c'mon people... The food was good, my wife got a frittatta with goat cheese, and more cheese on top, and spinach. I got the Santa Fe roll-up and soup - vegetarian vegetable. Good food, small portions (but enough). Prices are good for the portion, if a little high for a breakfast joint. It was kind of loud in there, and the service was just okay. Recommended if you're trying to impress out of town people, but there are better options if you're not. read more

My wife and I can put together a pretty good breakfast at home, so getting a five star rating takes a little work when it comes to breakfast and restaurants. Egg Harbor Cafe in Geneva is tucked away in a nice little shopping area in town, which itself is a nice area of the western suburbs of Chicago. The restaurant itself has a home-style decor, nothing special but the service was excellent. Coffee is really good and left on the table so you can drink as much as you want w/o having to wait patiently for the cup to be refilled every five minutes. I ordered a skillet, I believe it was a San Antonio Skillet or some other southwest named dish. Its basically a spicy skillet filled with home potatoes, bacon bits, spicy sausage, eggs done however you like and cheese. The flavor is fantastic and all blend together really well for some reason. There is enough in the skillet to skip lunch and still only eat a light dinner too. There were a lot of different choices for breakfast, great for grown-ups with or without kids. I highly recommend finding the nearest one if you are staying in Chicago, there were plenty of them dotting the city and a real treat for anyone who likes a good breakfast that doesn't resemble Denny's or some other big chain. read more

So ...i returned for a quick bite of lunch. Had the Sloppy Joe ... i just had to try it ...you dont see Sloppy Joe's on many menues. It kicked ass ... it was the bruce lee of sloppy joe's. Wonderful ...if i could have licked the plate i would have. Definitely stop by here if you have a chance ... good food, decent prices and friendly service. read more

Consistently good traditional American brunch in the Chicagoland 'burbs. I've grazed my way through the menu over the years, and for breakfast/brunch it's above average. Nothing really stands out as a favorite, because whatever you order, it's like, yup, that's exactly what I ordered, yum. The last time I came in, I noticed they percolate coffee from local roaster Intelligentsia Coffee as their standard drip, and with all the pluses Egg Harbor Cafe has (good food, good service, spic and span dining area, on top of it kitchen) that's just icing on the cake. read more

See all

Searching for a good place to have a high quality breakfast we ran over the Egg Harbor. The pictures looked great but the reality is even better. There is a slight wait (we waited about 15 mins in the winter so i immagine summer time would be ten times more busy in this beautiful vacation spot). The food was extraordinarily good. My partner had a skillet and i had the lemon poppy pancakes...im still having pleasure chills thinking about it. Their unique fresh squeez strawberry orange juice is a treat and the coffee is high quality. Highly recomand this place. The staff is very friendly in a natural authentic way. And the area of lake Geneva is gorgeous so that little wait gives you the opportunity to browse around the many interesting shoppes or natural beauty of this place. Thank you guys! This made our trip extra delightful. read more

I really like Egg Harbor and seeing as I am a creature of habit, I stick with the things that I know I like so I am not disappointed. Today, I was disappointed. I went to breakfast with a couple of girlfriends. I mentioned the location in downtown Wheaton, but they thought Geneva was closer, so off we went. The wait time wasn't bad, but once we were past the front waiting area, we couldn't hear anything. It was so loud in there! We honestly were yelling at each other over the table. Not my idea of a nice "catch-up" sort of breakfast. The black current iced tea is my favorite and I have not been drinking much other than water these days, so I was really looking forward to it and my glass was empty without a refill long before I would have liked. Finally, my potatoes were undercooked AND overcooked. How did they do that? Some pieces were burnt and some were raw and hard as a rock. Egg Harbor, I love ya' baby, but you've got some work to do in Geneva. read more

Perfect food, perfect service, a great place overall. Im very picky with pancakes, and theirs are the best I ever had. Prices are on the high side of most breakfast spots, but its ok for what you get. We cannot wait to return. read more

Great restaurant but their griddle items are very limited (pancakes,waffles, French toast). Charming restaurant but the wait is a little long for breakfast. read more

Always good, always fun! You can't go wrong with Egg Harbor, especially the one in Geneva. I've been going to Egg Harbor for 15 years or so.....before Yelp, so I'm just getting around to my review. The location in Geneva is family owned, run by Gary. He is always there, greeting guests and having fun. I don't think there is 1 thing I can think of that has been bad here. My favorites are the Eggs Benedict, Cinnamon Swirl French Toast, and the Door County Melt. The coffee is really good too. read more

Going Corporate: been coming here for years today we enjoyed the new Protein Wrap for breakfast which was outstanding. Today we were told twice that "team members" were all helping out today. It seems of late Egg Harbor has been losing its individual personality everything from the tasteless "homemade jelly" to the very odd salt and pepper grinders that spit out far too coarse a grind. It's sad to see a great local breakfast and lunch spot migrate to an "Applebee's" persona. read more

Egg Harbor Café - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

My family went here for breakfast on 1/8/22. Our server was aging and the food was delicious! At the end of our visit, my mom asked the manager if it would be possible to purchase a decoration on their wall. She had the exact thing many years ago, and lost during a move. She went to get one of the new managers, and much to my surprise, he let us have it for free!!! Totally made our day! Thank you to the amazing team at Egg Harbor. We'll be back soon!!! read more

Great food. Friendly staff. I simply love this place. I feel at home. A+ Rating Kerry L Elgin Illinois read more

Best breakfast food in Illinois. Been going here for over a decade. Great gluten free menu

1st time trying this based on others reviews, Im so glad we did! New favorite breakfast stop. Service was friendly and on point with all pop & coffee refills. The food was really good, hot and fresh. Omelette's to order, egg white scrambled with ham, pancakes were really good. The prices were reasonable. read more

This was a great lunch/breakfast! Donna was a sweet server and got us everything promptly. The roasted tomato bisque was terrific along with the chicken avocado sandwich. My husband had chicken chili soup and loved it along with a scrambled skillet! We will definitely go back read more

This location was a bit tricky to find, as Im not very familiar with Geneva. I love this location, the wait isnt as long as it is in the Naperville and Schaumburg locations. But Naperville Egg Harbor still holds a special spot in my heart. The menus was the same and prepared equally as delicious. The service was very attentive, I was never left with an empty cup of coffee. If im ever in the area for breakfast again I will definitely return. read more

We were in town for the Barbed Wire Betties roller derby bout, and after such a great match, we woke up with a hunger in our bellies. A quick check on Yelp showed glowing reviews for Egg Harbor Cafe. This was some serious brunch, people. And I love brunch. First of all, it's a hidden gem (literally, we almost couldn't find it because it's tucked back in a square) that was busting at the seams with people when we arrived at about 9:30 on a Sunday. They know how to turn tables over, though. We called ahead and it took longer for us to drive over than it did for a table to be ready and claimed by some other people. We didn't wait long, though. They hustled us over so quickly, they were still setting up the table! Very efficient. The menu has so many options. I wanted to eat everything, as I do sometimes, but I settled on the half order of original eggs benedict and the Italian Fall french toast. THIS WAS A GREAT CHOICE. I ate as much as I could shove into my stomach and took the rest home. Prices here were very reasonable, the server was spot-on, and I've never been to a restaurant that was more accommodating to babies and children. I wish we lived closer so I could eat there again. read more

Tried this place on a recent trip to Chicago area. My wife had been several times before and raved about it. Filling and tasty breakfast "skillets", the one I had was potato, meats and cheese with eggs on top. They have lunch items too but definitely specializes in egg dishes and breakfast items. My wife had a orange/strawberry juice which was fresh tasting. Coffee was pretty good, maybe a little weak for my tastes but still good. Service was friendly and efficient, they seemed to be very well staffed. Not a cheap breakfast but you get a lot. We went late morning on a Friday and it was pretty busy, I imagine its crazy on a weekend morning. read more

This is the perfect breakfast stop in Geneva. They not only have delicious breakfast, but they have even more amazing specials that change every week. Last week I had blueberry french toast with fresh strawberries on top with warm maple syrup and blueberry compote. How can anyone say no to that! Along with the sweets come the savory. They have delicious omelets and frittatas as well. You must give this place a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

I've been to other Egg Harbor Cafe's, but this one rises above the rest with their location and great service. They have many healthy choices, including the popular Joe's Healthy scrambler. Everything, including their fresh-squeezed, flavored juices, is worth trying on the menu! Enjoy! *Outdoor seating available! read more

We've gone to Egg Harbor since it opened. I've only ever had great experiences there. The menu is fantastic - classics and variations on classics, plenty of vegetarian options, fresh-squeezed orange juice, excellent coffee, etc. The wait staff is a cut above - I always feel like I'm the only customer even when I can see our server working with other tables. That's impressive. It's consistent, too, so not a fluke. It's nice that there's a little competition for them in Geneva these days because we used to wait 30 minutes to get a table when they opened. I normally won't wait, but we did quite a few times (worth it every time). It was that good then, and it's still that good. Highly recommended. read more

Hands down my favorite breakfast place around Food- I always order a skillet and they are always a delight to the senses Coffee- great flavor and decently strong for a regular coffee drinker like me Service- good service read more

Brought my mom here once and it was delicious; been to the Barrington location as well, also amazing. We brought the family back here for a weekend brunch the other day and was wowed again. Apple cinnamon pancakes were great. We've also tried their soups and brought a quart of the chicken and wild rice home this time. We decided to attempt to resist the delicious breakfasts and try their lunch menu on our next visit. read more

Decided to try Egg Harbor for the first time for our family Christmas Eve Brunch... there are two things I can say about this place. Family friendly and good eats! We ordered the following and rated it accordingly to presentation and flavor: Barrington Benedict - Presentation - Good, Flavor - Too Simple Quiche Lorraine - Presentation - Good , Flavor - Good Tuscan Grill - Presentation - Good , Flavor - Explosive +plus added grilled chicken must have set this off! Butcher Shop Omelette - Presentation - Good, Flavor - Good Total Cost Plust 15% Tip = 55.00 Would I go back? Absolutely! For the Tuscan Grill w/ Chicken! http://www.eggharborcafe.com/menu.pdf read more

Good food . Nice area to sit outside. Gets busy fast show up early service is fast and friendly . read more

If you are looking for breakfast, brunch or lunch in a family setting....this is your spot. Their menu is extensive and everything on it is good. It is not super imaginative, but it is eggs every way. Their skillet, scrambles, oatmeal, omelets and pancakes are all what you would expect and prepared with a satisfying consistency. If the weather is nice, they place a number of tables on the lawn, simply lovely. Insider tip......you can order fruit instead of potatoes and their fresh salsa is delightful on every thing. Also, you can buy the coffee cups. The downside.....come early on the weekend or be prepared to wait. This is an extremely popular breakfast spot and gets very busy. They do provide you with Intellagensia coffee while you wait. read more

Hands down the BEST breakfast & lunch place on the PLANET! We have been coming here for years. The menu choices range from healthy to hearty. You just KNOW you are tasting homemade food that is freshly prepared, not just some slop thrown together!. Excellent service with a smile greets you when you walk in. We had the smoked salmon benedict this past spring/summer and they took it off the menu but would love to have it back, just AMAZING salmon!! I cannot find another restaurant in the area that serves it so it is unique to Egg Harbor, hint: please bring it back :) If you go on the weekends, be prepared for a long wait but of course it is well worth it. During the warm months the outside dining is just lovely and relaxing. This is another Geneva Gem of a restaurant to check out when you are in town. Bon Apetit! read more

Ok so this place has the best coffee of any brunch place in the area. Besides the coffee being fresh, all the food is obviously made with high quality ingredients and you can taste it in every bite. I have tried everything from burgers, pancakes, salads, soups, to a plate of fresh fruit and they have all been exceptionally good. The smoked salmon Benedict is a must!!! It is so good!!! Conclusion: go to Egg Harbor, sit on the patio, enjoy a cup of coffee or OJ and enjoy any of their delicious food items read more

I am a huge fan of breakfast. Probably the best meal of the day. When I go to a restaurant I want to just sit and relax. Although it is possible here, this wasn't a place that knocked my socks off. No real negatives. Just the staff was fine, food good, price ok, nothing bad to report. A place to go get a meal but just that I guess. I have been to a couple of the other locations and I think it is just the vibe I get from the place itself. Maybe just not my style. read more

This is a great breakfast place! I like this Egg Harbor better than the others I have been to. Adorable ambiance. Super friendly service every single time. Great menu. I have only had breakfast though because there is so much to try! Good coffee, good juice and tea selection. Pumpkin pancakes!! YAY! The only negative is the wait and the crowd, and it often feels hectic in there so you might want to try not going during peak times.. I wish they stayed open longer so I could have brekkie for dinner!! read more
