The atmosphere of the place is really nice and the staff is nice. Unfortunately, I had high expectations for the food that were not met. The sandwich I got had burned bacon that also tasted weird so I didn't even have to finish my breakfast because I was not sure if I will feel alright after I do so. read more

Food tastes pretty good (got The Chic and Eggy). The chicken in The Chic was crispy on the outside, soft and juicy on the inside, and flavorful throughout. I added extra baguettes to the Eggy, but I think I only got 8 slices total, and some slices looked sad and scrunched up. I also wish they had toasted the baguette, but I got my order to go so I was able to toast it at home instead. Hojicha didn't have much hojicha flavor (tasted watery). I've tried their matcha, strawberry matcha, and strawberry hojicha drinks before too, and they were all too sweet without much tea flavor, yet somehow watery at the same time. Also found a staple in my sandwich wrapper. Yikes. I'll probably return for the food but skip the drinks. I might be extra careful and look for rogue staples though. read more

I got my sandwhich(scrambled egg one) in like 10 minutes but it was cold? Maybe it's supposed to be cold but I wouldn't know. The store doesn't have very good feng shui and there's not really any place to wait for your order without being in the way or being too close to other parties dining in. Nothing special, wouldn't come again read more

Ordered my egg sandwich and had to wait about 20+ mins even through there wasn't a lot of people there at the time. After 10 mins, I saw lots of people that came after me that got their orders BEFORE I got mine. The cashier did not acknowledge to me about the long wait or anything and I had to ask around and there was a lady making drinks that asked me about it. The guy also put my order in a to-go bag even though it CLEARLY says 'for here'. I don't know if I'm to blame for even coming here and spending my own money to enjoy a good lunch but I don't feel like I should come back here. It would be helpful for better communication to walk-in customers on how long orders will come out. Really could've asked for a refund back since I waited a long time for ONE sandwich, much prefer to go to a mom&pop Mexican spot where they make orders under 10 mins. An egg sandwich should not cost almost $12 and you're forcing customers to wait "more than 20 minutes if not acknowledged that it's going to take longer due to large DoorDash orders", which can EASILY be communicated. read more

Really enjoyed the strawberry matcha drink we had. It disappeared way too fast! If possible, I would ask for less ice or a bigger size next time. It was like 80% ice. It was my first time having a strawberry matcha drink so I didn't have much to compare to but I thought it was super good! Tried a little of the pink dream with almond milk. Also great. Reminded me of a strawberry agua fresca. We really liked the Ultimate Sando, too. But it took too long for us to receive. It was about 25 mins and our drinks were long gone by the time we got it. For a breakfast sandwich I would expect quicker service and wished for less ice but overall good experience with excellent food. read more

I never leave reviews but... i feel like this needs to be said PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR COOKS ARE CONSISTENT & FOLLOW DIRECTIONS I actually came here for the first time a few weeks ago. And it was F-ing delicious. An otherworldly experience. I had a breakfast egg sandwich with arugula and spam. A bit pricey but so worth it. I had never had anything like it and their creamy orange sauce was a great addition. I kept thinking about it afterwards and how id love to order it again Since i enjoyed it so much i decided to go back again earlier this week and i ordered the exact same meal. Below is the picture of the spam egg sandwich. Im not sure what is going on with the service but THE COOKS ARE INCONSISTENT. For one, i added cheese on my sandwich (which is $1 add-on btw). When I went to eat my sando, there was no cheese in sight, not even a crumb. Unfortunately my meal was take-out so i wasn't able to tell them my sando didn't have any cheese. Secondly i asked my egg to be cooked well done. The moment i bit into it and it basically exploded in my mouth. The yolk was legit dripping out.... Im not a picky eater at all, sometimes i do eat runny eggs, but not like this. Not to that extent. i couldn't stomach it , honestly gagged a bit, and left half the sandwich untouched very unfortunate too bc i really liked the place the first time read more

The food is not very good but the strawberry milk was good though and the area and the inside was really nice.Thank you.

Uhmmm tbh the best thing about it was the neon sign outside. I didn't find much of it to be too special. Seems like a traditional breakfast overpriced spot. Their chicken was pretty weak and gooey if you ask me, the bread was soggy, it took forever to get done and their orange juice, well it would've been cheaper if i went to the store and got it myself. Gave it 3 stars because I'm generous and their neon sign makes me laugh read more

This afternoon I decided to try Egghead for the first time and I won't be returning. I showed up at 2:30 pm knowing they close at 4pm so didn't feel the need to rush the experience. I asked if I could pay with cash and they had said they already had closed the register. If you aren't familiar with the menu you have to order on the ipad to read all the options and it makes ordering a long process, plus having to wait for the people infront of you to do the same thing. Ordered a $7 vietnamese coffee expecting sweetened condensed milk, because thats how you make a viet coffee... It was very bitter and I asked for more sweetened condensed milk and they said they only have milk and sugar, so we were charged $7 for a plain very bitter coffee. It shouldn't be advertised as one if it isn't?! The music was very loud abrasive dubstep EDM, not very nice for a Sunday brunch experience. On top of that the couple behind us weren't served what they ordered and went to double check on the ipad what they ordered, they had a photo that didn't match what they were served. Lastly, at about 3:15 they started mopping with bleach water and it was hard to finish the meal with the smell of bleach in the restaurant. There was still 7 people in the place and they were straight mopping, without sweeping and without a caution sign until almost done. I felt rushed and a bit horrified that, that was how they cleaned for the day. Just gross, unfriendly, and unprofessional all around. read more

Solid place to grab some breakfast or brunch. It is especially good when there is a con or an event going on nearby. The chic and the eggy are top notch. read more

I ordered delivery and they burned the crap out of the bread :/. I had to go through and pick the burned layers off. I order from here occasionally and this has never happened before so I'm assuming it's a one off. Other than this the food here is usually very nice and one of my go to spots to order breakfast. Please be careful with serving burned food. read more

Egghead Sando Cafe - Egg scramble sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

My bf and I stopped by after a workout and we were excited to try this place. Sadly, we were pretty disappointed. We both ordered the eggy which was the most simple sandwich on the menu. The bread was soft and the eggs were very light and fluffy. The sandwich was lacking in flavor and didn't really taste like much. I wish there were more flavors and texture to the sandwich. The prices are steep for all the sandwiches. I would want to try the chic sandwich but wouldn't go out of my way to go again. Parking is difficult since it's downtown. read more

TL;DR : Ordered online through their website and waited 40+ min because my order was forgotten. My 4 item order had 2 mistakes too. Food was good but overall experience was ridiculously bad. SERVICE (1/5) : One of the worst experiences I've had in a long while. I was coming out of the nearby children's discovery museum thinking I would order something quick to grab and eat at home to make it back for kids nap time. I thought I was smart ordering online while I was still in the museum thinking it would be ready by the time I got there. Wrong and bad idea. I got there about 20min later and thought my food should be ready soon. I saw a long line since it was lunch peak so I asked worker #1 in the front by the cashier where I could get my order and she said it would be put on the shelf. I waited 10min then asked worker #2 if my order would be coming out soon since I saw them calling out a ton of orders. Worker #2 asked for my name and said he would look for my order. 5 more minutes pass and I realized something was wrong since people who were in line when I came were getting their orders already! The place had pretty much emptied out since it was after 1PM. I asked worker #3 and he asked for my name again and at this point is when I realized my order was ignored for 35min because I saw him print out an order with my name on it to give to the kitchen. Ridiculous! After my order was actually placed it came out in 5min. I'm already unhappy as it's taken 40min for my order to be ready but my drink was still missing! I asked and a few more min later it came and I left. Apparently it was my mistake to trust them because I should have checked the order. Of the four items I had, two had mistakes. One sandwich asked for sauce on the side but instead I got no sauce. My drink listed crystal boba which I paid extra for but it was missing. Horrible horrible horrible! Even if the food is good this amount of mess up isn't excusable. FOOD (4/5) : Food tasted good especially The Chic ($11). The fried chicken was flavored well and was very crispy but unfortunately since mine was missing the sauce the sandwich was dry and not as flavorful as I guess it should have been. The Eggy ($10) was pretty delicious too with mashed potato in a jar topped with a poached egg, bacon, and chives. I dipped the baguette in and it was perfect for picking up all the gooey goodness. Breakfast burger ($11) was okay and I definitely preferred The Chic. Lastly the strawberry matcha latte ($4.50) was a great rich drink though I prefer boba guy's version a bit more. read more

We were in San Jose for an event and looked up the best places to eat on yelp. This was one of them and it did not let us down. Our food was just delicious and the specialty tea was great too! I'll add pics as soon! Thumbs up to this place! read more

Great ambience, amazing staff. Loved the sandwich and Pink dream. And awesome service by Salina !!

Great service. Enjoyed the food as usual. Salina was very helpful during our visit & cleaned our table for us. Thank you!

Tried to give it many chances but service was lacking i ordered this before my lunch they never updated me at all that it was ready or that it was received :( pull up just for my sandwich to be sitting there and it be cold, every time I came my drink tasted different each time,, they got a good fat ass sandwich tho Chicken missing some seasoning but overall it came together well for someone who was starving ^.^ read more

Went today with a friend and got the ultimate sando. upon ordering, the wait for my food was absurdly long with not many people in the store. as my friend had received their food early, i had to wait another 20 minutes for mine. once i received the "order is ready" text with no response, i walked up to the staff and they already knew. they explained that they had given my order away to someone else and didn't give any explanation until i had to walk up. they said they were going to remake the order but at this point i am extremely hungry and angry with the service. read more

Not all a inviting place to eat at nor place I would come back. The seating space are small and few tables inside and out. Theres some street parking but its hourly based. When trying their popular food item. The buns were stale and there wasn't much of distinguished taste. Service was great, but Im here looking for good food read more

Egghead Sando Cafe - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

So glad we stopped here on our way out of town. The place is small and waa busy but we were okay with that. We ordered the ultimate Sando and it did not disappoint. It tasted great and the bun held up and wasn't soggy. Avocado was bright and fresh. I also got the sunburst and it was refreshing and just what I needed. The only feedback I have is the guy behind the counter seemed a little lost/tired/out of it? The communication from the kitchen to him was all over the place and our name was never called and we had to go up and ask if it was our order sitting on the counter. Could have just been an off day? Overall, good food and experience, and we'd definitely go back. read more

This place has the best breakfast sandwiches and strawberry matcha in DTSJ. They deserve a much higher overall rating.

Ultimate Sando Add Bacon, Thank Me Later.... This Was The Best Breakfast Sando I've Ever Had At A Café Before. Add Bacon For The Extra Win On This One Trust Me. Treat Yourself This 2023 And Go Check Out Egghead Sando Cafe ASAP. I Also Ordered A Side Of Tots And The Egghead Latte. Everything Was A Solid 10/10 for Me. So Good I Almost Ask If I Could Meet The Person Who Made The Sando. I Just Wanted To Shake There Hand LoL. Definitely Will Be Coming Back For More FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM @gokraftyourself for more local restaurant and menu hacks in and around San Jose, CA read more

Not going to lie, on the weekends, my husband and I door dash a lot. So, I haven't actually been to Egghead Sando Cafe but I have ordered their food plenty of times. I always get the eggy, egghead salad, and a drink. My husband always try different sandwich's from here and all of them have been so good. One weekend, my niece and her boyfriend came from Sacramento to visit and we ordered some sandwiches for them before they left. She texted me the next day that she was craving for egghead again and she was so sad there isn't one close by to her. haha read more

I had a Chic Sandwich with a side of tater tots! I throughly enjoyed the Honey Matcha, and it was the highlight of the meal. The Tater tots came in second: light and delectable. The Chic Sandwich had most of my excitement when ordering, however, I'm afraid it didn't deliver all the way. The bun and condiments carried the sandwich way too much; if the chicken cutlet had been more seasoned we would have a winner! Of note, the ambiance made a great workspace with smooth sounds and reliable wifi; stayed for a few hours. Would recommend! read more

Came on a Weds morning and ordered a summer breeze tea. Fairly busy and great service, amicable staff. Clean establishment with plenty of seating inside and outside. Really cool to see the owner build the space to complement that of the brick wall with rustic pipe book shelves, etc. Free 90 minute parking in city garage. read more

Their chicken sandwiches are fire! I especially love The Chic and get it all the time I come here!

Middle of the road experience. Came about an hour after they opened and ordered the Chic. Wait times that other Yelpers mentioned was definitely true. We waited close to 20 minutes for one sandwich. A family before us said they waited closed to 30. Apparently a big order came in. You could tell because they had sandwiches lined up all over the front counter where people were ordering. By the time we left, there were about four annoyed Doordashers waiting, plus other patrons all kind of looking at each other trying to figure out what was going on since the guy at the front was overwhelmed. The plus was the sandwich was tasty. Chicken flavorful, bread fluffy. The bad. It was cold by the time we got it and walked across the street to eat it outside. You could tell it was sitting in the back because the egg had a little of that congealed texture. Try it again? Maybe. But ask to see how long the wait is if ordering in person. read more

Low quality food and overhyped. The only saving grace is the atmosphere which is fairly nice but the food is terrible and the drinks are terrible. I ordered the match latte and it was very powdery and bitter. Like there was more powder than needed. The food was wet and they charged me for avocado but there was no avocado in my sandwich. Disappointing experience, would not recommend. read more

My review is solely based on DoorDash experience and with the bias that breakfast is my favorite meal. The brioche bread is soft, spicy Mayo adds a unique level of flavor, I like my eggs over easy and the yolk always has a nice runny texture. Nomsssss Rating from most favorite: 1) breakfast burger: all the flavors just hit right. Runny yolk on a burger is unbeatable. 2) ultimate sando: the thickest of them all lol. While I love all the ingredients separately or variations of the ingredients together, the avocado with sausage was not my favorite. Overall a very filling sandwich. 3) the chic: chicken thigh with 5 spice seasoning so it's juicy and reminded me of an oversized popcorn chicken. I love me some popcorn chicken. This chic is also thicc I split half with a co-worker and that was filling enough. 4) B.E.C: bacon was too salty and pretty basic sandwich overall, I which they did something special with the bacon to make it stand out. I have yet to try any other drink because the strawberry hojicha latte has me in a chokehold, I always order with less sugar. Hope they have more creative sides other than fried potatoes. I'll update my review as I continue to work my way through their menu. read more

Best breakfast when you don't have time to sit down at a restaurant and it's a nice spot to eat on the weekends when you are in chill mode. I wish I could have tried all of the breakfast sandwiches but I chose the ultimate sando for my first try. With the tater tots, it was a lot of food for one person. You could probably share with someone else if you are not that hungry which indicates the good size of the breakfast sandwich and the amount of tater tots they give you. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this place. read more

The BLT is super bomb! The bread.. so bomb! Oh and you definitely need to grab some of the tots! Literally perfectly made! Will be back forsure read more

Is this place new? I wouldn't want to come back again to this location (might try another location) Coffee is $5. When I asked to get milk with it, the cashier looked at me ask if I was speaking a foreign language. Asked if I wanted a latte? No, I want a coffee with milk! Then charged another $0.50 for the milk. But it's sweetened??? No one told me that. So it ended up in the trash can. I was annoyed at that point. I really think if you are charging me a house coffee with milk for $5.50, you should at least tell me it's sweetened and if that's what I wanted. When I picked up my bacon sandwich, my fingers were covered with yolk! The egg had already exploded and leaked out of the wrapper and all over the box. Asked for knife and fork, and they have no knife. Got further annoyed. Tater tots were good. So I didn't leave hungry. In fact I took the left over tater tots with me. The husband thought their chicken sandwich was really good. He said his latte is also sweetened. But I will let him write his own review to offset my low rating here. Still annoyed about my coffee argh read more

Overall, a pretty solid place to go to! It's not too expensive and the chic sandwich tasted really great! The chicken had a nice crispy texture and the sauce and seasoning added to its flavor. The tater tots were fresh and hot! Service was quick and easy and the overall feel was very casual, nice place to get a quick bite with friends! read more

This is my 2nd time having Egghead. I got the Eggy, Ultimate Sando, and waffle fries. The first time I had it was decent, but I wanted to show it to my friend who was visiting for the weekend. We ordered at 1PM, and noticed people that ordered after us were getting their orders first. We came to ask about our order number after 2 orders behind us got theirs and they just told us to keep waiting. By 1:40PM (40 minutes and 4 other orders later), we asked again and they said they'd go check. They came up with a bag from the Doordash/Grubhub order pickup area saying it was sitting there for the past 30 minutes. (Funny, but not funny haha, funny weird). The worker just kind of brushed it off, no apology or anything. Kind of like it was our fault for not knowing the bag was just sitting there? Huh? Very weird service experience here. Especially considering a lot of the parking around this place costs money to park there. Funny weird. read more

Service was slow, restaurant does not appear very clean or organized and the food wasn't good. Disappointing.

Not sure how a breakfast sandwich could be so good but the reviews from their cloud kitchen business are on point - this is amazing I went on their first day and some glitches could have been expected but order for 12 sandwiches was prompt and I was the office god for the day read more
