Took my parents here after a Dr's appointment for breakfast. The food was delicious and fresh I love their skillets and my dad had their omelet. Service was fantastic and prompt 👍. If you haven't tried their chicken and wild rice soup try it! It's the best one they have creamy hearty and delicious. Place is a bit pricey about 100$ with tip for 3 people for breakfast food. My parents really enjoyed the food as well. Coffee brand could be better it just felt like a generic brand nothing to rave about. Overall would come back . Their menu is vast with a variety of selections to choose from.

So I’m pissed, the service is amazing, atmosphere is great but here’s the problem. I came in here ready to have some great eggs, till I recived the soggiest, wettest, most disgusting scrambled eggs of my life. It made me almost wanna puke. And I know they have the potential because their other foods are amazing. I wish I didn’t have to pay for this mess…

A very good place to eat, but: 1. The price is just insanely expensive. For a 2 person breakfast you can end up paying 70-80$ not adding the tip. For everything to be "perfect" and for them to make sure clients pay and leave in the parking lot in front of the restaurant there are signs that mention if your car is parked more then 90min., it will be towed and you will pay a 250$ fin (in cash only hahahahah). 2. The old thin lady at the entrance is very easily offendable and one single cough, or if you allow yourself to be sleepy, or if you don't answer to her politness hipocrisy, she will make sure you'll get an unpleasent experience. 3. They are a network as I have seen and not many breakfast places in the area but I would definately prefer Cipri's Caffe then this place charging a small

One of the lesser known Egg Harbor locations, the Lake Forest unit has a smaller footprint than other sites, but when it's not crazy weekend busy, it makes for a cozier spot to go to where you can linger for a bit with a good book and an extra cup of coffee. Everything else is the same. One gripe, an order of the Cherrywood bacon comes with only two strips now, which is just wrong.

The dish I ordered was simple, but for what it was, it tasted good :) My server was super sweet. Really, all of the staff was kind during my visit. The ambiance was modern cottage-y. I sat near the window, which was wonderful.
