Stumbled upon this place today when Honey Jam was WAY too crowded. (30-35 min wait at 9:30am!). Â 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Review Source: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". Â 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.
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!
Review Source:My husband is a die-hard breakfast eater. Â He will seek out places that serve breakfast all day and flock to them. Â He might even prance. Â 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. Â I guess if they meet their goals, they earn themselves a pancake lunch on the bosses. Â 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. Â The food is delicious!! Â I ordered the veggie omelet with has browns and a side of pancakes. Â 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. Â So high praise for that!!
The french toast (shhh, I snuck a couple bites...slices...) was pretty standard. Â Our waitress added on some bananas and strawberries, so that was pretty sweet.
My omelet was just OK...pretty standard. Â My potatoes were burnt and gross. Â That was the big disappointment of the meal. Â Crispy, I like. Â Burnt is just gross. Â However, my pancakes were light and fluffy!
The service was fantastic, too! Â 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! Â Our waitress was really nice and sweet. Â 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. Â Likely before me ;)
I much prefer Egg Harbor (the closest Egg Harbor location to Town Square is in downtown Wheaton) to Egglectic. Â I think the food is just ok. Â Definitely nothing special--I think it's standard breakfast food, and lunch is just ok, too. Â 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. Â However, on our last visit, I went to pay at the counter with a credit card. Â The woman working at the front handed it back to me and said that their card machine was down. Â 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. Â Now, I've never run into a situation like this before, so I don't know what's considered standard or reasonable. Â However, I did not have cash and was not comfortable leaving my credit card number with her. Â The woman just sort of shrugged and stared at me and told me that there was an ATM in the hallway. Â 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). Â I don't know, the whole thing just left a sour taste in my mouth. Â 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.
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.
Review Source:Everything eggs, sound Egg-cellent right! Â 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. Â 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. Â We helped ourselves to some complimentary coffee while we waited, but the wait went quick. Â They turned those tables so fast that the tip was still on the table when we were seated....awkward. Â
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. Â I went with a combo, Strawberry-Banana Crepes and Eggs sunny-side-up. Â I was pretty surprised I got BOTH bacon AND sausage. Â The food came out fast, our server disappeared just as quickly...we didn't see her again until the bill miraculously appeared. Â My eggs were a little boogery, the crepes were okay. Â 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.
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.
Review Source:This was my first time going to the Danada Egglectic, and I think it is about as good as the Egglectic in downtown Wheaton. Â
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!
I took the advice of other Yelpers and had breakfast here with the wife. Â 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.. Â The steak skillet was also ok as well, not great. Â My wife loved her corned beef hash.
Everything else was very good... service was polite and friendly and helpfu. Â 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.
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.
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.
All-day breakfast (at least while they're open)? Â What's not to love! Â I'm a huge fan of eggs so omelettes, etc. make me extremely happy, especially when there are tons of choices for fillings. Â 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. Â And don't forget the hot sauce!
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!
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!
Review Source: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!
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.
There were 8 of us on Saturday morning but we called only 15 minutes ahead of time and they saved a table for us. Â 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. Â 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. Â I had the corned beef hash skillet but substituted the potatoes with cheese grits. Â I think only 3 of us didn't have leftovers. Â The orange and grapefruit juices are freshly squeezed and the smalls are pretty decent size (10-12 oz.). Â The value is pretty good and the service was quick. Â Definitely a solid option for breakfast!
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.
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.
If you're in Wheaton, this is the place to get a good American breakfast. Â 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. Â This is my regular breakfast joint. Â I've never had any issue and always come out happy. Â Also, lunch is surprisingly good.
One note: this is not Egg Harbor under new management as has been implied in other reviews. Â Egg Harbor is an unrelated (but similar) restaurant chain.
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!
Review Source:I am not altering my 4 star rating in case the experience below was just a fluke or misunderstanding but I thought it was important enough to add to my original review.
Sort of sad but the last time my husband and I stopped in for a bite here we got the worst waiter. Food was still very good but the service bothered me and it takes alot to bother me. I wasn't even going to update with this info but it's two weeks later and it's still bugging me.
The waiter expressed impatience when we were ordering. Not with words but with obvious body language. When he brought our order he set the plates down none to gently and never came back to do the perfunctory "how is everything" table visit. I actually wondered if I had wronged this man in a previous life because I have never met him in this one. It made me really uncomfortable and for the time being I have little desire to return for fear I get this same waiter again.
Note: He did not act this way with any of his other tables.
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! :)
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.
Review Source:I Love,Love, LOVE the cinnamon roll french toast! Â 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. Â Cute atmosphere, always great service too. Â I've also tried the banana bread french toast which was good too. Â I've only been to the location in downtown wheaton though.
Review Source: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. Â
I was in the mood for French Toast, hash browns and bacon (not typical, but on this occasion much sought after). Â 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. Â All this for about $3 less than if I had gone with my original plan. Â The food hit the spot! Â I asked for my hash browns and bacon extra crispy and they accommodated my request without any problem. Â I will say the bacon was a little too crispy, but the hash browns were just perfect.
The service was also good as well. Â 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.
This is a great place to eat and is very family friendly. Â My family generally comes here to eat on Sundays and it never dissapoints. Â They have a wide selection and the waitstaff is friendly. Â It is also busy enough that my daughter will not distract other diners from their meal. Â If she does, it is only because she is that cute and cannot help it.
