I want to thank Peggy for the amazing service that me and my two friends had this morning! She was very friendly and constantly ensured we had coffee and water and made sure my food came out exactly how I asked for it (crispy bacon and hash browns). Also, the food was amazing and I was very surprised by how huge the menu was. Who knew there were that many different kinds of things to order for breakfast?! Love this place. I will definitely be coming back. Make sure you guys ask for Peggy as your server!

Great, fresh, & filling breakfast food! Always a fan of the Tuscany Scrambler and a glass of fresh OJ.

Safely I can claim that I have tried almost every diner/breakfast restaurant within Wheaton, Glen Ellyn and Naperville. This was the worst I have had in a long time and I'm confused by the five star reviews. My friend and I ordered crepes. Not only were they terribly dry but they had no flavor. Worst yet was that mine were Nutella crepes and there was barely any Nutella on them! I mean, you can't have too much Nutella. Sent them back. Re-ordered, this time a Belgium waffle and french toast. There was NO FLAVOR. None. The service was decent, atmosphere was alright, but for goodness sake if you're hungry go downtown to Wheaton.

I came for lunch with co workers and I must say it was really good. I love the lobster roll and all their soups like the minestrone. I will have to try their breakfast next as it looked good as it was walking past me.
(3)Brian U.
Outstanding! Mile high omelet was amazing. The sourdough toast was excellent. The side potatoes were bland and needed a spice to add flavor. Great service. My kids liked their food as well.

went the day after xmas- and it was empty. I know this place has a line out the door on sundays normally, but I think the church going crowd just couldn't get up for early service a third day in row. I had the "zinfindel wine" crepes - very interesting and yes, the fruit - rasberries and blackberries- was actually fresh. unusual for the wintertime. it was a good price - 6 or 7 bucks. nice service - coffee and water was always filled you can call ahead to be put on the wait list DON'T forget the coupon from the web. You ned to have it in hand on paper. They won't take it off a smartphone even though I begged!

This site is bigger than the one in downtown wheaton. Still is amazing. Friendly, attentive and fast service. They have a frequent diner card that you gain points every time you eat there. What a bonus. Super yummy.
(4)Lindalee S.
It is our Sunday tradition to go to Egglectic Cafe. We get great service. The food is top notch. They have gluten free pancakes and muffins. And the raspberry tea is my favorite! They have a frequent diner's card which we take advantage of. Best EVER breakfast spot!
(5)JR W.
This is a great spot in Wheaton. It used to be the Egg Harbor, but they switched. They have a great variety of omelettes. I think it tastes just a bit more homemade and fresh than Egg Harbor, and the best part is their omelette dishes come with an option for pancakes. Egg Harbor's only option is toast.

Some friends invited us for breakfast here and it was awesome .. Deserves the 5 stars! Coffee was great .. I ordered a skillet and it was very tasteful .. Right amount of salt and flavor .. Very busy but we were seated right away and our waitress was very attentive .. Will deftly go back ! Ordered the Nutella crepes for my daughter .. She wasn't a fan but it tasted pretty good .. Husband ordered an omelette .. Don't know which one but that was good too!
(5)Velina L.
All-day breakfast (at least while they're open)? What's not to love! I'm a huge fan of eggs so omelettes, etc. make me extremely happy, especially when there are tons of choices for fillings. I'll take an egg white omelette with veggies and cheese any day. Don't expect innovative or elegant food, just comforting, hearty breakfast choices served in a southern-style decorated venue. And don't forget the hot sauce!
(3)Jay N.
There were 8 of us on Saturday morning but we called only 15 minutes ahead of time and they saved a table for us. The back entrance (away from the Circle) has more parking and you can park closer to the door if you need to drop people off. The hostess escorted us quickly and the waitress was quick to provide water and take our orders. Two of the people ordered the Spanish frittata, which was recommended from previous meals. I had the corned beef hash skillet but substituted the potatoes with cheese grits. I think only 3 of us didn't have leftovers. The orange and grapefruit juices are freshly squeezed and the smalls are pretty decent size (10-12 oz.). The value is pretty good and the service was quick. Definitely a solid option for breakfast!
(4)Sharon S.
The service is really good, other than that it's your average pancake house. Pancakes are tough, not fluffy, chicken sausage is awful. This was our 2nd time here ... and most likely last.
(2)David R.
Coffee here is great! There are many tasty Gluten-free options; cranberry orange french toast, for example!
(5)Scott R.
Aweful establishment. Go here if you want to over pay for cold food and a sub par menu
(1)Bill O.
Went here for a pre-Christmas brunch with my fellow workmates. We have gone here before, and it is a very nice place for this specific purpose. I had a vegetable quesadilla that was really big, as well as very tasty.I was able to bring half back to the office to have later in the day. Service was excellent, and the changes in seating made it a lot more open. Price was good, because the boss was paying. Actually, after looking at the menu, prices were comparable. I would go here on my own or with my significant other if we were living in the area. Eggscetera, eggscetera, eggscetera...
(5)Allan Z.
Great service great food and are a very friendly I've been coming here often and its just like being at home
(5)Vee S.
Came here for a late breakfast with my dad. I will say I was pleasantly surprised with the excellent service. We were seated in a cold corner booth, like I couldn't feel my feet towards the end of dinner cold. I made my own skillet with ham, mushrooms, green peppers. Nothing out of this world. The skillet was a little bland. Potatoes were cold. Dad ordered the Iron Man omelette. It was also very bland. Toast was good, coffee was hot, and sausage was good. The walk to the bathroom is annoying. Overpriced for the quality of the food. I most likely won't be returning.
(3)Dinah T.
Ordered California omelette, corned beef hash skillet, side order of nutella crepes to share. Service is friendly, we came at 10a on a Saturday, waited for 10 minutes. Waiting area roomy, not too bad. it's within the strip mall. Place is clean window view of the parking lot.
(3)Dave N.
If you're in Wheaton, this is the place to get a good American breakfast. It has a better menu than Egg Harbor, it has more healthy options than Butterfield's, the service is great, the prices are fair and the coffee keeps coming. This is my regular breakfast joint. I've never had any issue and always come out happy. Also, lunch is surprisingly good. One note: this is not Egg Harbor under new management as has been implied in other reviews. Egg Harbor is an unrelated (but similar) restaurant chain.
(4)Alex S.
This is a great place to eat and is very family friendly. My family generally comes here to eat on Sundays and it never dissapoints. They have a wide selection and the waitstaff is friendly. It is also busy enough that my daughter will not distract other diners from their meal. If she does, it is only because she is that cute and cannot help it.
(4)Lisi Z.
I have probably consumed 80% of what is on Egglectic's menu. I speak for Town Sq as well as Hale St- What ever they touch turns to gold- specials are changed constantly which gives a nice variation to the menu. A few shout outs- French toast (have yet to come across any as good) sun devil scrambler, ALL skillets, pumpkin pancakes, amazing iced tea, fresh soups. I always leave saying "dang that was good"- the staff will go above and beyond for you, very friendly:)
(5)Cristina F.
Egglectic has become my go to brunch place in the suburbs. Their menu is extensive and quite accommodating to various dietary restrictions. I have never had a bad meal-- and I've tried a good chunk of their menu. Whenever I go with the BFF or my BF, we always order their Nutella crepes to share---- the prices are cheap enough that a third shared entree can be justified ;) Coffee is amazing. I wish they serve their coffee creamers in those cute mini pitchers instead of the individual serving tubs. It adds to the experience. Service is consistently good... my coffee/waters are refilled in a timely manner and food comes out with minimal waiting. I'm never blown away so I do agree that this isn't the place to impress out of town guests. The ambience is like a rich man's IHOP-- casual, clean, pseudo farm/diner vibes. Many people can probably make the food here at home. But for lazy people like me, it's the place to go for dependably decent brunch experience and amazing bottomless coffee. It's also well situated in Town Square Wheaton (like an upscale strip mall) with a couple of shops (Francesca's, Gap, Victoria's Secret, Express, Papyrus, Bath & Body Works) to browse in to make a morning/afternoon of it :)
(4)Amy R.
I would say Egglectic Cafe is THEEEEE definition of "A-OK." The food's all-right, the service is all-right, the decor is aaaall right. Some of the booths are super comfy, some are kind of picnic bench-y in nature. Why is this a thing? Picnic benches are things people sit on when outdoors, because they're better than the ground. When indoors, we shouldn't have the "thing that's better than the ground" as an option. Maybe I'm just old and ornery. Anyway... I like the food here - the menu seems to make reference to some of the other brunch places in the area - I don't know how that works, are you all allowed to call your omelette the "hey tony!" or whatever the hell else clever names someone at one time came up with? But anyway, it has a very familiar feel to it. The eggs are always a little greasy, but other than that I have enjoyed everything I've gotten. Prices are standard, service is standard, coffee is standard... you know. A-OK. If you're in the area and willing to deal with the dreaded Danada circle of doom, Egglectic is a nice place to brunch. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, though.
(3)Davin L.
I didn't realize it until I read the menu, but I've been to the downtown Wheaton location of Egglectic before. Same great menu but a more low key, less crowded location in a strip mall. There's some ridiculously good breakfast choices here. And by ridiculous, I mean diabetes inducing. The banana bread French toast comes to mind. The euphoria you experience after may just be hyperglycemia Drizzled with bananas and kiwi sauce, it should come with an insulin injector. The selection and variety of dishes here can't be beat. My thrill may no longer be on Blueberry Hill Café.
(4)Rob H.
The pumpkin bread French toast is super delicious! Next time you order breakfast sausage consider trying the Italian sausage or Chipotle sausage both are excellent. Was just here this month and they're still rockin' 5 star food & service!
(5)Robert G.
I've been here 4 times. I owe this place a review. This is my wife's favorite breakfast place, and my second favorite. I like my omelets tall, my coffee hot, and my flavors bold. Egglectic cafe consistently delivers on each of those at a decent price, and with great service to boot. My favorite omelet here is one of the farmstand ones, which is generally spinach, tomatoes, cheese and something else. I've also had the California omelet. The quality is consistently good, whether it be the tangy buttermilk pancakes, crunchy hash browns, or every once in a rare while, grits. They also serve some fresh juices here, which aren't that bad. Overall Egglectic Cafe won't blow you away, but they consistently deliver quality on each of their menu items, and sometimes that's just what you're looking for in a breakfast place.
(4)josie w.
The double tres was great! (2 eggs-2 bacon-2 pancakes)
(5)Bill J.
Cinnamon roll french toast was incredibly good. You get a cinnamon roll made into french toast AND a cinnamon roll. Throw in a side of thick cut bacon and I predict you are going to skip lunch. I did. Had brunch here around 11 AM, wasn't hungry again until after 5 PM. Take your breakfast or brunch group here and they will love it. And maybe love you too if they've never been here before.
(4)Kristen H.
Not bad. Good service. Booth could be a little comfier (even my kid said they were hard to sit on...they need padded backs). My son ordered from kid's menu...he got the cheese quesadilla with chips. Beverage not included (I hate that), so $2.25 was added for chocolate milk. It was good, kid liked it....came with enough to bring home leftovers. I ordered the 1/2 sandwich, 1/2 soup lunch deal. Normally $7.99 but I upgraded to the lobster sandwich and paid $8.99. The 1/2 sandwich was just enough for me because they stuffed it good! It had lobster salad, tomato, cheddar cheese and avocado between two pieces of toast. Pretty decent for a brunch restaurant that closes at 3 daily. I even asked the waitress if the lobster was real! She assured me it was. I chose the stuffed green pepper soup to go along with my sandwich; it was tasty! Decent sized chunks of green pepper and tomato were bathed in a tomato broth full of rice and ground beef. My mom makes stuffed peppers and I love them...this was the liquid version I guess. LOL I also had the choice of fries, potato pancakes, onion straws or fruit. I picked potato pancakes and they were dry....won't go that route again. I'm Polish and picky about potato pancakes. (Say that 3x fast!) All-in-all, a decent meal for $17. I'd go back.

Egg'lectic Cafe is a small chain of breakfast places. As you might expect egg dishes are their specialty by their name. Having previously reviewed not just another Egg'lectic Cafe location, but one in the same municipality I wouldn't normally think it to be a wise decision to review a second one unless there was a big difference in the quality of my meal. Well, this was the case. This particular Egg'lectic Cafe is located in the Town Square shopping center in Wheaton. When I reviewed the one in downtown Wheaton I had originally traveled to this location, only for it not to be open at the 6:00 AM time listed on the door. On this visit I came an hour later and they were in fact open. I walked in and was quickly seated, placed my order and in around 10 minutes my food was ready. I ordered a skilet here. The good news is the eggs were well cooked, the bad news is everything else about the skillet was a bit bland. The meat was stringy and not so tasty. The hash browns were crisp but not particularly great tasting. This was just very bland, especially in comparison to the downtown Wheaton location. On the plus side the pancakes that came with the skillet were decent. Overall I had a much better experience at the Downtown Wheaton location and would recommend skipping the town square Egg'lectic Cafe and heading to the other side of town to that one if you're really interested in trying it out. Two stars for this one.
(2)Hayley H.
I love breakfast! And this was the best I had eaten in a long time! Yummy coffee, with flavors to boot. The skillets were cheesy and meaty! Full of vegetables and the hash was cooked just right. Fluffy pancakes on the side. I cant say much about how its decorated, farmy, chickens and roosters and such. But comfortable booths, plenty of room. I will return for the skillet. I'll let you know if it changes.
(4)Christina F.
Not good, not bad, just standard. Prices here were about $2 cheaper than most breakfast places I've been to in the city so value is good. My mom and I were not that hungry so we split an order of pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon. The coffee of the day was vanilla but it tasted just like regular to me. Nothing all that special here, but also can't really complain. Pretty forgettable really but it sure beats Denny's.
(2)Juliet A.
I love, love, love Egglectic Cafe. When I was in college at Wheaton, I came here more often than I probably should have. On a return trip here last week to visit family still in the area, I gladly took advantage of the situation in order to visit Egglectic. On any given day, Egglectic is busy. Happily, they are able to move people quickly and the wait is never horrible. When we came on Sunday morning - around 11 - we only had to wait for about 10-15 minutes. There was even complimentary coffee (what a genius idea!) for us while we waited. Service is fast and friendly, and the food is good enough to justify the major caloric splurge. It should be noted that you might want to avoid this place if, say, you are looking to lose a few pounds. Portions are of epic proportions, and whether you opt for sweet or savory, you are going to leave happy, but very, very stuffed. Lots of great options ranging from omelettes to pancakes to waffles to crepes (omg the Nutella crepes...amazing), and incredibly priced (most dishes are between $7-8!!!!!).
(5)Neil T.
Over all a very nice place. The hostess stand is odd. They should review their menu. It was not as it was described. I asked for a side of corned beef hash. It was the stuff out of a can like I expect. Usually. But the menu describes a fresh made hash. The pot roast dish I ordered directly under that was not good. I didn't even eat the leftovers. I tried. Of course the eggs and dishes were warm and cooked properly. Wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I was just disappointed in my dish. If you're out of a dish just tell me. I'll understand. Don't ever pass off a pot roast that takes hours to cook with a mildly tender beef cut of some kind. That is not acceptable. Otherwise our lunch breakfast was wonderful! I fully recommend this place. Our other times visiting were fantastic!
(2)LOIS B.
On our way to the best French Market in the area, we stopped for breakfast. Yeah, I know this has been here for a number of years, but it was the first time for me. The seating has been rearranged since it was Egg Harbor and is much more welcoming. There is a mural on the wall straight ahead when you walk in, and it is a very calming scene. The hostess station is now on the left as you walk in. And they got rid of that annoying elevated area so everything is now one level. What was that all about Egg Harbor? On to the food. I had an omelette that arrived looking like a burrito suizo that I have eaten at a Mexican place. Unusual but tasty. My husband's eggs were done just right and we both agree we would return. No wait on a Saturday morning and service was quick and friendly.
(4)Colby G.
Good service and nice decor, but the food wasn't very good. Nothing particularly awful, but the potato pancakes looked and tasted like they were pre-formed frozen food, and the crab cakes were wafer-thin and underseasoned. Stick with the pancakes or French toast -- those seemed pretty good.
(2)Tracy Y.
I had an Egg Benedict Florentine, it's kinda saggy than usual. Other than this, their pancake is really good. It doesn't taste like flour at all but chewy.
(2)Amber S.
I can count on fast service and great food every time I eat here. My old standby is the Blue Bayou frittata. Bleu cheese, bacon, spinach and eggs. My favorite foods in one place. Last time I had a hazelnut coffee, which was tasty but pricey.
(4)Ryan W.
The food is wonderful here... For breakfast food. It's your typical breakfast place. You get a ton of variety here, ranging from heart attack inducing cinnamon rolls to heart healthy oatmeal and omelets. If you're looking to appease a large group, this place should do the trick. Occasionally you'll find that the service can be hit or miss. Many times I've been there, the service is outstanding. Other times the service has been slow and a bit subpar. For example, we've had to ask multiple times for a condiment that never comes. Another time, only 1 of us ordered coffee but our waitress brought us two and charged us for both. Nothing earth-shattering. I'd say 50% of the time the service is good. Either way, the food is worth it.
(3)L F.
I'm not a huge breakfast fan and let's just say I love this place! Great breakfast skillets and omelets. And their lunch menu is wonderful as well. I alway get their Waldorf chicken salad sandwich ( makes my mouth water just thinking about it) and my husband loves their French toast and pancakes. Plus you can go online to their website and print a coupon as well , not that you need one.
(5)Amanda S.
Egg'lectic has delicious food in a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. This is one of my husband's and my favorite breakfast spots, due to the delicious french toast, chicken sausage skillets, and flavored creamer for the coffee. If it's your first time going, avoid weekend mornings unless you're prepared to wait 15-20 minutes to be seated due to the large number of people who want to eat there!
(4)Lola K P.
I like this place. Casual updated diner and kitschy cottage decor, still a throwback, but comfortable and clean. The service has been fast if not particularly friendly. The food is solid, basic and good. Fits the bill for breakfast, very family-friendly. Good prices. Easy parking lot tops the deal.
(4)Michelle F.
My husband is a die-hard breakfast eater. He will seek out places that serve breakfast all day and flock to them. He might even prance. The jury is still out. Egglectic Cafe is right by his work, and his work has an incentive program that his bosses made up for this restaurant. I guess if they meet their goals, they earn themselves a pancake lunch on the bosses. Pretty cool if you ask me! I personally think it's just an excuse for his boss to get a pancake lunch at Egglectic ;) That being said, I don't blame them. The food is delicious!! I ordered the veggie omelet with has browns and a side of pancakes. My daughter and son split the french toast, and my husband got what he always does--the banana bread french toast. He orders this wherever he sees it on a menu, and he said that nobody does it as well as Egglectic. So high praise for that!! The french toast (shhh, I snuck a couple bites...slices...) was pretty standard. Our waitress added on some bananas and strawberries, so that was pretty sweet. My omelet was just OK...pretty standard. My potatoes were burnt and gross. That was the big disappointment of the meal. Crispy, I like. Burnt is just gross. However, my pancakes were light and fluffy! The service was fantastic, too! We arrived at 9:30 on a Sunday and were seated about 5 minutes before our 10 minute quoted time, so that was pretty awesome! Our waitress was really nice and sweet. I really liked her attitude and she was quick and great with the kids. I will be back, and I KNOW my husband will be. Likely before me ;)
(4)Rebecca R.
I have visited this place many times. Sometimes the food is good, and other times it is a miss. Never have I left saying, 'WOW that was awesome!" Why I go back so much, I am not too sure. This last time that I went I was especially hungry. It was around noon on a Sunday, so I expected a bit of a wait. That's fair. We put our name in after being told it would be a quick ten minute wait. Now, I don't mind waiting for a good meal, but if you tell me ten minutes, it best not be more than twenty. When my blood sugar gets low, I start to feel sick and weak and sometimes it can last all day. If the wait is going to be long, please just let me know so I can avoid passing out in the lobby. We sat around thirty minutes later. The waitress was busy but very kind. She took our order and kept our coffee full and hot. Food came out within fifteen minutes, but it was clear the kitchen was in a rush to push food out. It was not so good and far too greasy. I had some kind of Tuscan Skillet. I expected it to be a little greasy and a little crispy like the time before. Nothing could be crispy with a pool of oil. Bummer. This time may have been my last.
(3)Ellin S.
Poor customer service. Last Saturday I ordered the half sandwich/soup combo. I told the waitress that I wanted the combo and asked what my soup choices were. She gave me the soup choices and I placed my order. When I went to pay my bill I saw that I was charged an extra three dollars and change for my meal. Confused, I looked for the waitress and did not see her. I took my bill up to the register and explained to the woman at the register that I had been charged extra and what my order had been. She said that the soup I had ordered was not included in combo price. I told her that I was not told that and I would have changed my soup order had I known that. I got NO response! I eat out a lot, and have never experienced this lack of concern toward a customer. I will not be eating at Egglectic Cafe again.
(1)Madeleine E.
Blah. The restaurant is really dirty. Service is slow. It seems as though no one really cares about much of anything over there. Mediocre eggs. Bland and undercooked potatoes. One time is enough for me here; I won't be coming back.
(2)Elise R.
Some friends and I went here recently on a Saturday morning. It was busy, but we were seated right away. Our waitress was ok; no smiles, but she was attentive. We also sat talking long after we were finished eating and never felt rushed or pressured to leave. The food was excellent. Had the Italiano breakfast with egg whites, spinach, mozz, tomatoes... very rich and so good. The portion size was so big I had leftovers! The juice was definitely fresh squeezed and homemade. The prices are also reasonable and they're always sending coupons in the mail! I'd recommend this place for a fun, relaxed breakfast/brunch. (Perk--the AC isn't too cold!)
(4)Erik J.
It seems like we go here every week. The food is great, service is good, very friendly staff. This is a nice local breakfast place, you will not be disappointed.
(5)Gina S.
Everything eggs, sound Egg-cellent right! Well, not to break your egg but it was a far crack from a sunny-side-up brunch with a smile. The waiting lobby was packed when we arrived. The hostess was not warm and buttery like a good hostess should be, we were handed a beeper as she turned her attention quickly to the next guest behind us. We helped ourselves to some complimentary coffee while we waited, but the wait went quick. They turned those tables so fast that the tip was still on the table when we were seated....awkward. The water-boy kept our whistles wet and we already had enough coffee to keep us wired until our Sunday afternoon nap, so there wasn't much left for our server to do but take our order and serve it up. I went with a combo, Strawberry-Banana Crepes and Eggs sunny-side-up. I was pretty surprised I got BOTH bacon AND sausage. The food came out fast, our server disappeared just as quickly...we didn't see her again until the bill miraculously appeared. My eggs were a little boogery, the crepes were okay. It felt like Denny's but without the All America heart attack feel. It all happened so fast, it was all just a blur, it was all but memorable.

I am not fond of the Hale St location and was skeptical of the opening of the Danada one. Although it started off as I expected, it surprisingly got better and better. I'm not sure why the Danada Location is so much better, in terms of hot food, service and cleanliness, but I have a feeling that the manager has a lot to do with it. I see her constantly walking from table to table asking how their meal and service is/was. She is always making people feel welcome and tried hard to get to know the customers by the first names...and she actually remember them when they return! I also find the servers to be very friendly and work very hard to make sure that you are happy. I frequently have 4 to 5 in my group that will dine there but on occasion when relatives are in town, we can have up to 15 or so. The service is still just as good as it is with 4 or 5 people. They don't freak out like most places with large tables! I honestly feel comfortable showing up (calling ahead for a heads up) with a large group and know that my guests will be impressed. So, kudos to Egglectic and it's Mgr & staff for making this a very good restaurant in the Danada area.

The best breakfast place for breakfast in chicago and suburbs. Delicious!!! If I could give more stars I would.
(5)Emilia M.
Stumbled upon this place today when Honey Jam was WAY too crowded. (30-35 min wait at 9:30am!). Egglectic was a wonderful surprise. I didn't have high hopes considering that it was inside of a mall. I ordered the California Omelet. It was fan-flipping-tastic. Avocado, tomato, green onions, cheese and sour cream. I added some hot sauce and OMG it was amazing. My other half had the Tuscany omelet and he too raved about it. The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is because the bathroom situation was a little sketch. Maybe they have on inside of the restaurant, but the only one I found was in the mall. And it was not so clean...and had no toilet paper! Thumbs down to that. But because of the food ad everything else, I am definitely coming back to this place!

My parents go out for breakfast at least 2x a week. They've been to every western suburb breakfast joint there is. They like this one for a few reasons: 1. no extra charge for egg whites only or multigrain pancakes. 2. parking is easy. 3. you can go shopping while you wait and plus there's free coffee while you wait. 4. there's always a 10% off coupon online. Like everyone else said, this place is like Egg Harbor. I got the stuffed french toast. The Belagio set the bar for me in terms of stuffed french toast. It's what I compare every other place to. Was Egglectic anywhere near the Belagio's? Not by a mile. I think the french toast could've been hotter to ensure a proper integration of the stuffed ingredients and they should've caramelized the bananas they placed on top. oh well, good effort. This is a pretty standard breakfast place. Lots of choices. Good location. There's something for everyone.
(4)Kelli H.
California omelette with avocado and cheeses was huge and very good. Pumpkin pancakes are the best!!!!
(4)Zach T.
Unremarkable breakfast spot in the vein of Egg Harbor Cafe. Food is what you'd expect. Pancakes, omelettes, french toast, skillets. Service is OUTSTANDING. Word is that R. Chester Smith is a frequent diner, so, there's that.
(3)Elizabeth W.
This was my first time going to the Danada Egglectic, and I think it is about as good as the Egglectic in downtown Wheaton. Plus: -There is complementary coffee outside while you wait -They also have flavored coffee's like hazelnut and french vanilla -Many healthy options on the menu Minus: -More expensive than other breakfast cafe's, coffee was almost $2.00 a cup!

Egglectic is meh, OK. I've dined at the Town Sq and downtown Wheaton locations. Egg Harbor used to occupy the Town Square space that now houses Egglectic. I'm not going to lie - I was super disappointed that Egg Harbor moved (even if it was less than 10 minutes away). While Egglectic is a decent breakfast place, it's just not the same as Egg Harbor. On my last visit I had the Classic Benedict. It was pretty good but not the best I've ever had. The canadian bacon was a nice thick slice and the english muffin held up to the weight of it, the poached egg and hollandaise. This was accompanied by a side of potatoes and fresh fruit. Eggclectic also offers a variety of fruit juices - strawberry oj was my beverage of choice that Sunday morning. It's always hustling & bustling in here...especially on Sunday mornings...get there early to put your name on the list otherwise you might be in for a long wait. I've always been satisfied with the breakfast orders here although my bff and I lunched here once and were both pretty underwhelmed. I'll be sticking to breakfast only but more than likely I will just travel an extra 10 minutes to Egg Harbor in downtown Wheaton.

Went here for breakfast this morning, this was my 2nd time visiting, and it had been years since my last visit. It was nice that we had no wait, and were seated right away. Love the decor and atmosphere, very warm and welcoming. The only issue I had with this place was the staff. Service was attentive and everything in that perspective was great....but they were cold personality wise. Everyone from the host that sat us, to the buss-boy that gave us water, to the server, and the manager that cleared our table.... not one smile. As each person gave us something (sat us at the table, gave us a drink, our food, cleared our plates) my boyfriend and I made it a point to say thank you to each person -- as a well mannered person should. Call me weird, but i found it weird that NO ONE, NOT ONCE ever said "your welcome". Very odd in my opinion. Our food was good, and the overall experience was as well. But the staff really needs to work on being more customer-friendly.

I took the advice of other Yelpers and had breakfast here with the wife. We ordered the orange juice, and I had the steak skillet, and my wife the corned beef hash skillet. The orange juice was ok... a little too tart for my taste.. The steak skillet was also ok as well, not great. My wife loved her corned beef hash. Everything else was very good... service was polite and friendly and helpfu. The place was decorated nicely, and you didn't feel cramped being in there. Though the food wasn't great, we'll likely go back since my wife liked her meal.

always good. last time we had about 10 minutes to eat...got in and out right on time, and brought our leftovers with us. i wish we had more breakfast selections in the area, but if i'm stuck with just egglectic, i'm not going to complain!

I have found my new favorite breakfast spot in Egglectic! We usually go to Big Apple or Butterfields for breakfast at least once a week. Happened to be in Town Square and stumbled upon Egllectic. Great service - Great Food! I had the Garden Delight omelet which was super creamy and delightful. My daughter had the almond crusted french toast - Yummy. We will be back!

Came here for breakfast with my husband and his parents, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I ordered the Wildcat Scrambler, which was a special for the month of May. The only downside to ordering a special is that they won't allow substitutions of any kind. Regardless, my meal was fresh, spicy, and delicious. The portions are huge, and I had to will myself to stop eating even though I was full halfway through. The coffee was also quite good. I was surprised to see how busy it was on a weekday morning; I'm sure the wait is long on the weekends. My husband and I will definitely be back, and we'll be sure to bring out-of-town guests the next time that we have visitors!

I much prefer Egg Harbor (the closest Egg Harbor location to Town Square is in downtown Wheaton) to Egglectic. I think the food is just ok. Definitely nothing special--I think it's standard breakfast food, and lunch is just ok, too. I also think that it's pretty pricey for the quality, though, yes, as Angela H. mentioned, you can almost always find a coupon for it. Service is usually good. However, on our last visit, I went to pay at the counter with a credit card. The woman working at the front handed it back to me and said that their card machine was down. She offered me the following options--pay cash, pay with a check, or give her my credit card, let her copy down my credit card number, and charge my card later when the machine was back up. Now, I've never run into a situation like this before, so I don't know what's considered standard or reasonable. However, I did not have cash and was not comfortable leaving my credit card number with her. The woman just sort of shrugged and stared at me and told me that there was an ATM in the hallway. I just thought that the whole situation was weird, and would have preferred that they let us know that their machine was down when we first sat down (the girl said that the machine had been down for awhile, so I don't think this is an unreasonable request). I don't know, the whole thing just left a sour taste in my mouth. Lucky for me, I was dining with my mom, who had cash and bailed me out (almost 27 years old, getting married in 2 weeks, but, as always, Mom saves the day!). I'm definitely sticking to Egg Harbor from now on.

Came with some friends and their menu selection is great. They have some valuable menu items but I thought their food could be a little better (I had the Shanas Delight and couldn't finish it). Was a little disappointed, but I would try it again and wouldnt not recommend it to anyone. It's an overall good breakfst place.

Nice place to eat breakfast with your family!

This used to be Egg Harbor Cafe. This is a great spot in Wheaton, and is moderately busy even on weekdays. The breakfast items are very standard-fare... great variety of pancakes, omlettes, waffles, skillets, etc. They have lunch items such as sandwiches, salads, etc. Overall I was very satisfied with my meal, the portion sizes are large and filling. The food itself was very tasty and fresh. I was in a group of three and they were more than happy to split the check for each of us. The wait staff was extra friendly and pleasant. Overall there is nothing I can find wrong with this neat breakfast restaurant.... perfect for when you get the craving for some traditional American breakfast foods. Do go to the website, there is a handy 10% off coupon that can be applied for the entire meal! :)

The cinamon roll french toast is really good. The other food is pretty good, and, of course, I haven't tried EVERYTHING. (or even that much of anything.) The food is good, and makes a nice breakfast. Its alot like Egg Harbor, or maybe Egg Harbor is alot like it?

It was 15 minutes before they officially closed and they didn't turn us away. This went over really well in my book because I know a few places that have turned me away with so little time left before they closed. I was in the mood for French Toast, hash browns and bacon (not typical, but on this occasion much sought after). I was all set to purchase these items separately when I discovered their monthly specials - one of them that just happened to be French Toast, hash browns, two eggs any style, sausage and bacon. All this for about $3 less than if I had gone with my original plan. The food hit the spot! I asked for my hash browns and bacon extra crispy and they accommodated my request without any problem. I will say the bacon was a little too crispy, but the hash browns were just perfect. The service was also good as well. Yes, we were the only ones there aside from another table, but I've come to learn that doesn't guarantee good service. Overall, a very good experience and I would be happy to come back to this Egglectic Cafe location again.

Fun place for breakfast or lunch with an interesting menu and friendly staff. Have been to this location several times and am never disappointed.

Whether it's lunch or breakfast, Egglectic gets it right and is a go-to spot for my husband and me. The service is excellent and the food is always excellent, too. They are also very accomodating when it comes to making substitutions. We have tried most of the menu - french toast, waffles, eggs benedict, oatmeal. I also like that they offer flavored coffee creamer.

Egglectic cafe was egg-celent...egg-strordinary... Ok you get the picture! Extensive menus excite me, so 1 star off the bat for that! At first I was reluctant to eat here... there was a ton of people waiting to be seated on a Sunday AM and the hostess told several different parties that the wait was "only 20 min". I thought that was nearly impossible but lo and behold she seated us in 20! I ordered the cinnamon raisin french toast and for the price, the portions were generous, and of quality: thick cuts of bacon and real sausage (not the freezer stuff used at dennys, etc). My sister had the pumpkin cake french toast, which she says was kinda sweet but still delish. The staff was friendly and kept my coffee cup full. A good breakfast experience all around... and looking forward to their other unique breakfast selections. The price can't be beat... The first 5 star I've given!

I love this place sooooooo much. I make sure to stop by for breakfast at least once each time I'm back home from school. The service is friendly but the thing I really go there for is the STRAWBERRY ORANGE JUICE...there is no better anywhere else!! They also have fantastic waffles, crepes, pancakes, french toast, eggs, etc. I wish this place was everywhere!

I've always gone for the really bad for you breakfast items here ... pancakes, french toast, crapes (spl?) so and they're always great .. the wait staff is always friendly and attentive as well

I'm not sure if I went to the same restaurant that everyone else did. I went here over the weekend with a party of two. To start with the hostess quoted us a 20 minute wait. Apparently she was halving the wait times though since our real wait was about 40 minutes. After after 25 minutes I went to go ask the hostess how much longer the wait would be since we were debating just leaving and she just pointed at my name on the list. No mention of how much longer the wait would be though. When we finally got sat we had another bit of a wait before our waitress came by. We decided on our breakfasts and drinks and placed the order as soon as she came. The drinks (and food) did come out quickly which was about the only plus for this restaurant. I had a fritata which was good, nothing special though and an English muffin. The English muffin came out without butter. We waited for the waitress to come back, but she never showed. We finally had to flag her down and ask her for the butter, but by the time she bothered to bring it the English muffin was cold and quite disgusting. I actually had to spit it out, which is something I never do. Never fear though, the fabulous (ha ha) waitress boxed up the spit out English muffin for me to take home without me asking for it. On our way out the cashier and hostess were standing there moaning and complaining about how awful the customers are and how they hate their jobs.That just capped off the morning and was uncomfortable to experience and we couldn't wait to pay and leave. The cashier did ask how our meal was and when I started to complain about the service (or lack thereof) she actually rolled her eyes at me and cut me off and just said oh that sucks! What a gem, I bet her parents just love her to pieces. We were really disappointed at our experience especially since we thought we were going to an Egg Harbor, which are always amazing.

My wife and I have been to this Egglectic about a dozen or so times since we moved to Wheaton back in '09. Everytime we go I try something different just so that I could get a good overall opinion. I have no clue how good the Egglectic is in downtown Wheaton, but this one here is incredible! There are so many choices on the menu and everything I've had to date has been great. For how packed they always are, the service definitely isn't too shabby either! I'm a huge breakfast fan so when I find little gems like Egglectic here I'm all about sharing my opinion with others:) The only reason I won't give Egglectic 5 stars is because, like all other breakfast joints in the suburbs, they charge an absurd amount of $ for OJ.

I Love,Love, LOVE the cinnamon roll french toast! I have a list of places to go and things to eat when I come back to Chicago/suburbs and this is a MUST EAT item. Cute atmosphere, always great service too. I've also tried the banana bread french toast which was good too. I've only been to the location in downtown wheaton though.
(5)Lynn H.
Great food. I especially like the California Omelet and the Stuffed French Toast.
(5)Erik T.
A decent breakfast place. The food, in my opinion, was nothing special, but it wasn't bad and we (my wife and I) cleaned our plates. The service was standard, nothing that stood-out or, well, stunk. My favorite is the cinnamon french toast!
(4)David D.
Best restaurant in Wheaton, Illinois. They have some of the best eclectic and standard breakfast fare around. I get their California Crepes. With the poppy seed dressing, it is truly awesome. The coffee is excellent. The wait staff is phenomenal and we've never had a bad experience there. We find the best times to go are around 10 am on Saturday and before 11 am on Sunday. If you love chirizo, try their Hey Ricky omelet. Their cinnamon raisin French toast is to die for and their sausage is huge jumbo links of goodness. Did I say the wait staff was friendly yet? :) Very pleasant experience. Highly recommend.
(5)Kristen P.
They have a very egg-lectic approach to reservations, which favors small tables over large and walk-ins over advance reservations. Hostesses seem overwhelmed and clueless and not at all empowered to solve problems. Could be good, but definitely avoid for weekends or holidays.
(1)Mike N.
A decent breakfast joint out in the 'burbs. My ginger and I come here occasionally when the equally decent place near us starts to get a little boring. I haven't tried a lot of the menu, sticking mainly to breakfast items and usually the pulled pork omelet which is pretty good. There isn't much to say about this place. Service is friendly enough, the food is good but not spectacular, but its decent spot if you're 15 minutes or less away.
(3)Joseph M.
First time trying this place, was excellent. Not sure about earlier morning crowd but, sat right down at 10:30 on a Saturday morning. Coffee was very good and although I'm not usually a risk taker with breakfast I tried the crab cake eggs Benedict and was happy I did. The crab cakes themselves were of the mostly crab and less filler variety and complimented the dish very well. Portions were sizable, bacon was nice, thick, and not too flimsy or crisp. All in all a quality breakfast and I look forward to going back.
