Egglectic Cafe

I think this place gets overlooked alot, which is a complete shame. There are so many breakfast places in the area but I would prefer this place over just about every one of those. The food is delicious, there is a great variety of options, and they have a lot more options for healthy concious people than alot of the other places. I have never had bad service here either.

I came in on a Sunday morning with my family so we could enjoy some breakfast. I only had to wait for about 5 – 10 minutes and we were sat promptly. Our server assisted us greatly and made sure that we were all satisfied with our meals. The food here is so delicious and priced reasonably.
Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service were all excellent! Will definitely come back soon!
By the way, some of the reviews that are depicted below me are very inaccurate and I wouldn’t listen to them since more than 50% of the customers that have reviewed this restaurant haven’t reached out to any of the staff to resolve their issues.

My friend and I had brunch there and when the check came she put down her credit card and I put down a $ 20 bill intending to place the balance on the credit card. The waitress took the check, $ 20 bill and credit card but came back putting the entire bill on the credit card. When we inquired why she didn’t put the $ 20 towards the bill, she said she never picked up my $ 20. Someone swiped my money — not sure who it was but I left paying again. Never leave cash with the servers here!

I’ve only been to Egglectic for breakfast, so this review doesn’t include their other food.
Egglectic is very busy on the weekends, especially during prime hours, so that’s something to remember when you’re considering where to go. It’s decently sized, however there’s typically a wait anywhere from 10minutes to an hour. We showed up at 10am on a Saturday, a very busy time, and were told the wait would be 15 – 25 minutes for two people, so decided to wait. They share a hallway inside Town Square, so it’s nice to not have to be outside in the winter. We had no problem waiting, especially since it was just the two of us, we thought it would move quickly. However, it turned into 50minutes before we asked where we were on the list, and it was like the lady completely forgot about us. There were several two tops that were under us on the list that had been crossed out and she seemed startled and sat us right away. It was clear that we were skipped. Not a good start.
Once we were sat, we were greeted by a very friendly waitress. To be honest, she seemed a little overwhelmed, so I’m not sure if she was just really busy or maybe she was new. Once she got us drinks, she sort of disappeared for awhile.
I’ve been there twice and both times I got the Belgium Waffle. It comes as one huge waffle, with maple syrup and powdered sugar, of course. The waffle is delicious and filling. I thought it would be two waffles when I ordered the first time, but now I understand why they only do one. There’s absolutely no need for another and I promise, unless you’re a professional eater, you’ll be full after this.
On both occasions, once we were finished, it took way too long to be checked on and get our bill. Again, not sure if the servers were super busy or what, however the second time I was there, it was much less crowded. Once you get the bill, you pay at the front desk. I usually like this style, however their front area is super crowded and just have one tiny desk to pay at, so it can be very hectic up there.
Overall, I think Egglectic is an OK option in the Wheaton area. There are others that I would put above it without hesitation. They could certainly improve their overall service. Maybe that means hiring more help when it’s really busy, or providing additional training for the waitstaff, who knows, but it definitely seems like they’re lacking in that department.

Great food, excellent portions, good customer service. My hubby and I went for brunch during the week and of course, it was a bit slower. However, our server was still on point. Helped by making menu suggestions. We had our 6 month old daughter with us and they were super accommodating by putting us in a section away from other people so we didn’t disturb anyone. Very good food! I tried a different version of the eggs benedict that had crumbled bacon, sliced tomato and scallions on top, but with the same yummy hollandaise sauce. It was delicious!!! Very extensive menu though, almost a bit overwhelming. Definitely took us a while to narrow it down on what we wanted to order.

From out of town and we tried this based on other Unilocal reviews. It was very good! Cinnamon roll French toast was great and my son loved the Nutella pancakes. Service was also great. Seated quickly.

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:)

Aweful establishment. Go here if you want to over pay for cold food and a sub par menu

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

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!

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.

Great service great food and are a very friendly I’ve been coming here often and its just like being at home

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 entrée 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 :)

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.

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…

Coffee here is great! There are many tasty Gluten-​free options; cranberry orange french toast, for example!

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!

I would say Egglectic Café is THEEEEE definition of «A-​OK.» The food’s all-​right, the service is all-​right, the décor 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.

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.

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.
