OUR STORY
Since the first Egg Harbor Café opened in Hinsdale, IL in December 1985, a growing base of wonderful customers have encouraged us to develop and expand. After 35 years, Egg Harbor Café has 21 locations in Illinois, Georgia and Wisconsin.
We have been passionate about breakfast, brunch and lunch since 1985.
Egg Harbor cafe started in 1985 with one restaurant in Hinsdale, Illinois. Owners Aimee and Mike Farrell, along with Aimee’s father Jack Wright opened a then unheard-of concept – a gourmet breakfast, brunch and lunch café in a warm, friendly country setting with an upbeat vibe. They introduced unusual egg dishes – frittatas, skillets and crepes – a caring management style, an emphasis on quality… and customers loved it.
Egg Harbor Café continued to grow, fueled by a mission-driven culture and the central belief that people – our customers and employees – are the company’s most valuable resource. Today Egg Harbor has 21 locations in Illinois, Georgia and Wisconsin. As a family-owned company involving three generations of children and grandchildren (including siblings, nieces and nephews), we pride ourselves in being an extended family to a great number of people, both employees and customers, and in our restaurants´ active involvement in their local communities.
We believe in serving the highest quality foods.
We specialize in top quality food, always carefully sourced and often all-natural or organic. Whether in the mood for a traditional breakfast, a variation on the original, or a unique Egg Harbor Café creation, our guests have an extensive selection of breakfast and lunch creations, and something is always sure to please. We serve cage-free eggs that are 100% certified humane. We pour premium fair trade coffee sourced from the finest small family growers. You will not find any high fructose corn syrup in our food. We offer an extensive and excellent gluten-free menu. In addition, the kids’ menu offers a variety of child-friendly choices along with games and a coloring contest for our younger guests.
We want our guests to feel like part of our extended family.
The key to Egg Harbor’s success has been the central belief that people – our customers and employees – are the company’s most valuable resource. This core principle consistently guides the development of great management teams and service standards that create Egg Harbor Café’s hallmark breakfast and lunch experience. Customer loyalty is the cherished result of our focus on excellent relationships.
Egg Harbor Café’s friendly and attentive service adds to the informal ambiance that consistently welcomes guests, whether first-time visitors or long-time friends. The relaxed, inviting atmosphere attracts a broad range of guests – businessmen and women, families with young children, groups of teens, book clubs, friends, neighbors and more – all types of people and groups have become loyal, valued Egg Harbor Café customers.
