In October 1986, Egg Harbor Cafe opened the second successful restaurant in the Lake Forest Plaza. Just as in Hinsdale, the local community quickly embraced the restaurant.


In Fall 2026, Egg Harbor Cafe gave the Lake Forest location a fresh new look: expanding the space and adding a barista bar, so there’s room for even more neighbors, old and new.
