This breakfast hit the spot! My skillet was tasty filling and my iced coffee was a perfect pairing. I tried someones cinnamon roll in my group and it was phenomenal. Despite having a group of 9, our food came out super fast it was impressive!

I had a wonderful brunch experience here. The service was quick, with hardly any wait time. Every dish was delicious the Shakshuka had a lovely kick of spice, the Tuna Sandwich was incredibly tasty, and the San Antonio Scrambled Eggs were my absolute favorite. The waffles were also a delightful addition.

Really enjoyed our brunch at the Egg Harbor Cafe, server was very good, had a little wait but nothing more than 510 mins. Coffee was tasty and refills plentiful. Had the eggs Benedict and partner has a Mexican skillet scramble. Homemade jam on the English muffins was a plus. Would recommend.

We had a fantastic breakfast at Egg Harbor Cafe! My wife ordered the Caprese Avocado Toast, and I had the Eggsceptional Skillet Combo with bacon, mozzarella cheese, and tomatoes. I loved that I could choose my own ingredients, and the dish ...

Great place for breakfast in the city. The jelly was absolutely amazing and the coffee specialty drink was fantastic looked just like the picture and tasted even better. ...

Nice light vibe. Rustic feel. Cecelia was professional and attentive. I had traditional breakfast scrambled eggs, chicken sausage. English muffin with their homemade jam. Sausage was excellent. Potatoes were a bit overcooked. Eggs a teeny overdone too. Power Outlets at many tables which is really helpful.

I came here early to start my morning with some tea. I ordered the Sweet Caroline skillet, it was so good. The sweet potatoes were roasted perfectly added with the cheese, runny eggs with everything else on it. Will come back again
