Food service ambiance . Eggcellence has it all. A little hard to find because it is right in back of Target. But once you find it you will keep going back because it is that good!! read more

Plenty of tables for the busy weekend crowd. Friendly and welcoming staff who knew the menu well. Loved our meals, everything was delicious and the kids really liked the juice. It's a typical Wisconsin breakfast joint, which was exactly what we were going for and we had a great post camp breakfast with our kids! read more

Eggcellence Cafe - Loaded Oatmeal - Waffles Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

While in Arlington Heights I stopped for breakfast. The cafe is tucked in a shopping center. For a Thursday morning we were seated right away and the food was served in a timely manner. Service was standard and the atmosphere was relaxing. I was disappointed with the cinnamon apple pancakes. My expectations were more of an apple pie filling on top of delicious pancakes, but nothing was reminiscent of apple pie and the pancake flavor was not great. The veggie omelette was alright and the banana nut caramel french toast was nothing extraordinary. There are too many other fine breakfast spots to return here. read more

Found this place on yelp and was not disappointed. From the moment we walked in staff was so nice and friendly. There are so many amazing options. I went with the sunrise Benedict and it was amazing. A little heavy on the hollandaise sauce but still delicious. And home fries were cooked perfectly. My bf had the lumberjack skillet and it was amazing. We also shared a crepe and a pecan banana pancake. Both were amazing. Strong coffee too. I wanted to try all the yummy mimosa options they have but it was too early. Definitely recommend this great breakfast spot. read more

Average little place. Nothing has stood out when we have been here. Prices aren't too crazy. Coffee takes a bit too long to get refilled. Food is ok... 3 stars isnt bad its just not great and not horrible. Average. read more

The food is excellent and the service can't be beat. It's our new favorite breakfast place. And they're open for dinner Friday and Saturday. #iraeats #iraeats1 read more

Eggcellence Cafe - Smoothies - Waffles Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

Delish! I am a sucker for a good breakfast/ lunch cafe, and Eggcellence is just that. We came by for brunch on Sunday afternoon and the restaurant wasn't too crazy. There is plenty of parking as it is located in a strip nearby Tony's market. The restaurant has a super homey and cozy atmosphere. The other folks in the restaurant seemed to have been regulars and all recognized each other as they arrived. It was heart warming to see everyone so excited to eat and engage with the staff so fondly. For my meal I got the country Benedict, where it was a mix of eggs Benedict and biscuits and gravy, along with their breakfast hash. The gravy was light but super flavorful, and they cooked the egg to perfection where it was runny but was still cooked enough to not be enjoyable with every bite. It's been almost a week and I'm still thinking about our experience here and can't wait to come back. :) Love that it's so close to home, and am already planning another visit soon! read more

This popular location has a large menu of breakfast choices. I was sorely tempted by the breakfast panini special but went with biscuits and gravy instead. Portions are large and the food was solid with nothing to complain about. The fiance loved her cream of chicken with rice soup. The chicken bacon ranch wrap was large and tasty, half of it had to go home to be finished later. Mother-in-law ordered strawberry pancakes and they were big and fluffy and she dug into it enthusiastically. Half of this went home with us, too. It's a lot of food. Staff was friendly, prices are average. Decor is typical diner decor. Good place for weekend brunch. read more

Eggcellence Cafe - Biscuits and gravy - Waffles Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

visited on a monday and there were about 5 other parties there. when we entered, we had to wait a bit as there wasn't a host available. shortly after, we were told to sit anywhere we'd like. i ordered the corn beef hash skillet with scrambled eggs and pancakes while my husband got the meat lover's skillet with sunny side up eggs and pancakes and a mocha. my skillet was delicious! i loved the texture of the potatoes. and the temperature was perfect. i honestly think i would prefer this without any eggs. the pancakes were light and fluffy - just like any other place so nothing too special. our server was very friendly and checked in with us often. overall, a great experience! the bill came out to $40 (without tip included) so a little pricy for breakfast food but I would still come back. read more

Just disappointing. There is no good flavor to the food. Everything was soggy. Asked for the hash well done and it was barely cooked. They didnt give us our fruit. Pretty sure they forgot to make our order because I waited 15 min past the original pick up time. One of the hostesses was really nice. But it was dead in there. Probably for good reason read more

Eggcellence Cafe - Strawberry Cinnamon Swirl French Toast & Corn Beef Hash Skillet - Waffles Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

This place is a great example of what a brunch spot needs to be. Great service with the staff being so attentive. I ordered the Country Style Skillet and a cup of coffee. The food came out in probably 10 minutes and was hot and delicious. If you are hungry and looking for a quick meal this is a great breakfast place. See you next time! read more

Super friendly nice staff, great service, good coffee and excellent omelets. Reasonably priced

When we arrived, we were seated right away. It was busy but not packed yet. Water was given to us quick by an employee but server did not come to our table for a good 5+ minutes. My mom ordered tea and asked for honey, which they gave her a nearly empty bottle that had one good squeeze out of it. The server stated they'd bring some from their personal stash over which was nice but also not sure why a restaurant that serves tea doesn't have the "normal" accompaniments on hand. When food came out, my mother's eggs were cooked incorrectly so had to wait for it to come back out. My food was good, I got ham, eggs, and pancakes. Pancakes were delicious! My husband ordered French toast which were okay. I wanted to like this place more with all the rave reviews but it just fell short of our expectations. read more

Great service & food! We have been here several times for breakfast. Want to try their dinner menu - that's up next! Server said the dinner menu is limited because everything is homemade. If it matches their delicious breakfasts - we're in! Add on - we went for dinner. They offered tacos which my husband chose. My son & I had breakfast. Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious! The owner goes out of his way to be welcoming and accommodating. The restaurant is so clean and the decor is warm. It definitely can replace Eros restaurant where we frequented for years. read more

This place has been open for a few years, but it is kind of hidden and this was our first time. We went on a Sunday morning and it was not too busy when we arrived, but by the time we left there was not an open table. Service was very good, everyone was so attentive and there was not a moment our coffee cup was not filled. There menu is extensive and prices are reasonable. I had the peaches and cream crepes . The crepes were thin and moist. The peaches were sweet, but I do not believe they were fresh, but still very good. Others tried a omelet, skillet and egg dish. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and the portions were huge. Everyone was so friendly, we will definitely return. read more

Eggcellence Cafe - Waffles Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

We arrived with a group of nine older adults. They happened to already have a huge group of about 25 people stretching across the room, plus several other groups of 6-8. They still quickly still set up seating for 7 and the others sat on the corners. They took our individual orders, got drinks and kept checking on us. When an extra table was available they moved it in. The food came quickly and was delicious. Most of us had breakfast but lunch was also available. We all agreed it was a great experience and food great. I had recommended here and many didn't know it existed. They all said they would come back. read more

The food is excellent. Great selection and preparation Service and atmosphere is very good. Nice outdoor seating area. The staff is attentive and friendly. About as good as it gets for a diner experience! read more

According to my mother who lives in the area, this place opened just as the pandemic was beginning. I liked their interior decor and they have a nice set up for outdoor dining. We were helped immediately and we received our food quickly. They do lose some points because we did make some changes to our menu choices and unfortunately those changes did not reach us. What we did try (chicken sandwich and Meat Lover's Skillet) were good (with the exception of the changes we made and were not reflected in our food). If I return I'd like to sit outdoors because the patio area was so nice looking. read more

An alright place to have breakfast. The restaurant is conveniently located in a large strip mall nearby Target and Tony's Finer Foods. It's very easy to park here with a very large parking lot and being away from the major roads. The service is fast and friendly, without much of a delay for getting seated, getting your order taken, and receiving the bill. The restaurant itself isn't huge, but the seating is spaced fairly well so you don't feel like you're being crammed at all. The decor is a bit unique, with the feel of sitting at tables in an outdoor cafe. Food prices are reasonable, with quite a bit of different flavor options available on the menu -- and portion sizes are fairly generous. I found the food itself to be fairly simple, and forgettable. There wasn't anything particularly special about the execution or flavoring of the food, though nothing I tried was bad either. The sausage links were standard, and of the slightly thicker type. Scrambled eggs were fully cooked, though not particularly fluffy. The cinnamon bread french toast had a nice egg flavor to it, but the bread itself isn't particularly special. The hash browns were crisped nicely on the edges. The avocado, bacon, and tomato got lost in the California omelette, with the pepper jack cheese dominating the flavor and the salsa not matching particularly well with the dish. The pancakes were nice and fluffy with a good level of chewniess, and the best item I tried on my trip. Food presentation was good, with items nicely arranged on the plates. Overall, this isn't a bad option for breakfast, with a standard level of cooking for your favorites. But, it also doesn't stand out in a crowded suburban market with restaurants nearby that push unique ideas and highly refined execution at comparable prices. read more

Excellent service with a smile followed by generous portions of tasty food makes this place a winner. The patio is very comfortable with lots of tables in the shade. There are also large tables outside for families and friends to enjoy together. Inside is cute and clean. We enjoyed fluffy pancakes, a sausage and gravy skillet with great seasoned gravy. The ham and egg quesadilla was uneventful until the salsa entered the picture, it added the pizazz! Service was very fast, not rushed at all on a Sunday at 11. They have a big menu, crapes, French toast, all sorts of egg dishes, wraps, burgers, salads and soups. They are in the strip mall behind Target, down from Tony's, across the street from Hersey HS. read more

As a long-time customer, I encourage people to visit Eggcellence Cafe for an outstanding experience. This establishment is a one of kind restaurant, which is run and operated by a family, along with a superior staff who is committed to outstanding customer service. When you walk into the restaurant, you'll most likely be greeted by one of the family members and probably served by one of them. The menu and meal options are simply fantastic and made of high quality, always so delicious and yummy. What I like about this place, you have a lot of long-time regular customers, so it's a warm and very friendly place to visit and get a delicious breakfast or lunch meal. BTW, the outside patio is open to enjoy the weather. Do your yourself a favor, and visit this place, you deserve it, and most likely will be a long-term customer! read more
