Food is just excellent, prices are right and service can't be better and more welcoming. What a wonderful experience not to be rush even though the hour was late. Smock Salmon salad that I had was fresh and perfectly portioned and went well with a chilled Pinot Grigio. more

This cozy little charming place opened up right across the street from where I live. Their good coffee I'd get once in a while allured me to go in and try their food as well. Although I went there by myself I never felt alone. The owners are so sweet, so welcoming and nice. I thought that was the best quality, along with the intimate European type atmosphere, until I tried their lobster bisque, tuna sandwiches and salads. Healthy and delicious come close to describe it fairly. I love tuna and Whole Foods is the place I shop for that. I always thought it was the best up until I tried what Eastgate had to offer. I was surprised to see they also offer beer and wine on the menu. It is definitely a place I recommend trying. They also have very nice live folk music on Saturdays and Sundays it's the open mike night. Aside from that, if you go alone, there are magazines all around to read, or you can bring a book or your laptop as they have free WiFi. In Oak Park, it is one of my favorite places to go and unwind. Pros: Food, ambiance, music, the staff (Megan in particular) more

My husband and I just moved to Oak Park and had breakfast at Eastgate Cafe. Their breakfast pastries are delicious, and the fruit salad is one of the freshest, most flavorful I have had! Love this cozy little cafe and so glad we are within walking distance of it. The owners are very sweet and make you feel right at home while you are there. We'll be back! more
