    Great breakfast! Loved the cinnamon roll French toast. For those who don't eat pork, you can get turkey or chicken sausage links. The service was outstanding. I don't think my coffee mug was ever that empty. Definitely would return.

    I was in the area around lunch time and wanted to treat myself to a nice sit-down meal! I was initially hesitant to walk in because I was alone, but I'm so glad I did. I walked in around 12:30p and was immediately seated outside. The waitress who served me was super friendly and all staff were very accommodating; everyone checked in to see how I was enjoying my meal, if I needed anything else, and to see if I needed another drink and/or water. It was such a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to do it again!

    Making a reservation was such an easy process and the restaurant was very accommodating. The food and beverages were absolutely delicious. And our server, Jose, was phenomenal! I will definitely be coming back and also making recommendations to my friends and family.

    I LOVE this breakfast location! The pumpkin pancakes are the absolute best in the area! They add apple pieces and craisins to the batter. So yummy. The wait staff is outstanding! They are quick to refill drinks. I personally love when the servers engage in a short conversation with the customers. These servers are very kind and talk to everyone. Love this restaurant. Great coffee as well.

    This is by far the best breakfast and lunch restaurant in Wheaton. Chef Massimo and his charming wife Holly do a fabulous job of providing the best food and atmosphere. The entire staff is friendly and attentive! Gustosa!

    Sunday noon, the place was very busy but we received excellent service. Generous portions, very generous with freshly cooked!!! vegetables in the omelet and we loved that it wasn't oversalted. The taste of the actual fresh ingredients shines and you can always add more salt if you must. A very pleasant experience!

    One of my favorite breakfast spot in Wheaton! We had skillets 🍳 meal and they were so good! Coffee is brew perfectly! On drawback, the ladies bathroom was a little small (4 stars for atmosphere)

    We came here for lunch and the service and the food were good. They also have kids menus for the little ones and they have a large menu of breakfast items. This a great place for breakfast, but the lunch menu doesn't have half as many choices as the breakfast menu. In either case the veggie wrap I got was was delicious and every one in my party enjoyed their meal choices. If you are looking for a cozy neighborhood brunch place, this is a great option.

    Really bad experience today at Egg’lectic. Have been coming here for years. Today, after waiting 45 minutes for our table, we waited an hour and a half for our food. For eggs. Every fifteen minutes when we flagged down the server (who was hiding from our table) he said ‘another 15 minutes.’ When we asked the manager he said ‘online orders, nothing we can do.’ Well there is something they can do. They can prioritize their seated guests. They can choose to not lie to their customers. They can explain what they are going to do make it right. The treatment was really rude. No ‘can we get you some toast to tide you over’ no ‘I am really sorry.’ Just ‘nothing we can do.’ The experience has been truly awful. Cannot recommend. Egg Harbor down the street will be getting our business from now on.

    Had an excellent brunch visit today! This has been a favorite spot for family meetups for a while now. Plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor. Plenty of chairs for those who prefer them. We love coming back here for the excellent service and the delicious food! Our waitress today was very friendly and helped recommend items we haven't tried before! Our host was also very friendly, letting us pick the table outside! Our water cups were always kept full 😁 and did I mention the food was delicious? I believe I tried the southwest scrambler, all the veggies were very fresh and there was an awesome amount of cheese! My partner also tried the Chicken Tortilla soup and they said it was so tasty! I can't wait to come back!!

    Charming little restaurant in downtown wheaton, very nice staff and fast service with a lot of menu options 😋

  • 5/5 D. Anthony C. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is just plain wonderful. The ambiance of regular people having a good meal at a fair price was just amazing to see. The staff were all wonderful. I watched their interactions with other tables and it just made me smile. This place made my day better. The food is wonderful. I had the breakfast burrito and requested avocado be added, along with some scrambled eggs and the corned beef hash. I had to take some home, but I’ll tell you I wanted to finish it all then. The owner is a wonderful person who seems to have the most kind and welcoming soul. If you’re looking for a good plate of food, and want to support an actual locally owned business that is operated by a wonderful Woman, please stop here. Parking is easy and the food and people are wonderful.

    You want to go here for breakfast, for sure. You're kind of surprised at first at all the really interesting choices for breakfast. Usually when you go out to eat, there are one or two things that look appealing on the menu. Here you have a tough time choosing between 5 or 6. It has a great location, great decor, and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

    Tasty and affordable breakfast. This place gets very busy very quick. The breakfast burrito was very tasty.

  • 4/5 Julie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Cinnamon roll french toast combo & fluffy pumpkin pancakes are outstanding as usual! The Pumpkin French toast was made with a cream cheese pumpkin roll, not what we expected from the description that stated "pumpkin bread" should have come with a sugar coma disclaimer

    Ordered an omelet, got gray scrambled eggs molded into an oblong shape and did not taste well at all. Staff was very nice though. Won't return.

  • 5/5 Bianka P. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing service and amazing food! Also very clean!

  • 2/5 Dharra P. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was great and quick! Food was meh though. Eggs and potatoes were heavily under salted. Pancakes were dense and I needed to drink something to wash it down. Maybe it was just the rest of the food bringing down my taste but even the bread tasted stale. Coffee was good though.

    Loved this gem in Wheaton! The seasonal Mediterranean Wrap was sooo good! The owner, Mattisimo, is so nice- and so generous. We will be back!

  • 5/5 Ken R. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the best breakfast and lunch spot in all of Wheaton. The menu has a lot of different options and the food is consistently delicious. Lots of gluten free options, too! The service is always outstanding - the servers are trained to know everything on the menu, and they are always fast and efficient. Don’t go anywhere else for breakfast. This is the place to be!!

  • 3/5 Drake M. 1 year ago on Google
    A cute little breakfast spot with friendly and accommodating staff. I felt as if most of the menu items we ordered were missing one or two ingredients to really stand out, but the pancakes were great! The sausage gravy was too plain and flour-y for my liking. I'm not local but I would certainly come back and try this place again.
