    Waffle fries & Eggy & sandwich
    Sylvia N.

    My friend and I came here for brunch on a Saturday, and it wasn't too busy even though it was prime brunch hour! The food came out really fast! I had the eggy and the waffle fries, and it was a really good combo! The egg paste thingie that comes with the eggy is definitely more than the slices of bread it came with, so I used the waffle fries as a base, and it was a really good combo! Highly recommend! For drinks, I got the matcha coffee latte, which was really good and strong! My friend had the iced hojicha, which did taste a bit watery when I tried a sip. 5 stars because my friend and I were in there for 3 hours catching up, and no one made us leave hahaha.

    The Chic

    I have been wanting to try this spot for a while. Finally had time to grab one. I ordered the chicken egg sando and tots. The sandwich was lacking a bit in flavor but was overall good and crispy, but the bun was very dense and felt like it was old bread. Was a bit disappointed because the sando was $13 The tater tots was really good very fresh and crispy. Had a good spicy aïoli. When I ordered I did it though the kiosk, and didn't really have to talk to anyone. Food came out quick. Vibe of a coffee shop very clean.

    the scramble sandwich

    Was working at the Northside branch library and got a little hungry so I mobile ordered a sandwich from Egghead. I was excited to try the 'Scramble' sandwich. It was surprisingly tasty, not sure if it was because I was starving after depleting my energy from work, or if it was truly a mean sandwich, but one thing for sure is that it was pretty tasty! It is as simple as can be; scrambled eggs, cheese, mayo, and caramelized onions. Actually, it was the CARAMELIZED ONIONS that made the sandwich stand out from other breakfast sandwiches. It paired perfectly with the mayo and and fluffy eggs. Plus, the brioche bun was was really TASTY! It was light, fluffy, but also had a great chew! It seemed like this place had more mobile orders than in-person diners. The inside of the restaurant was clean, almost giving an "untouched" vibe. Right as you walk into the restaurant, you can order at the register, but if you mobile ordered, you need to walk a little further to the pick up area. They keep the orders behind the counter so you need to let them know of the name and order to pick your food up.

    Plenty parking available with extra parking spots in the garage. First time trying this place and easy to place order with kiosk. Have both Indoor and Outdoor seating. Interior looks cool. Pretty heavy lunch for sure, may be worth to have this for brunch.

    The Chic Sandwich

    I think this place is over hyped. I was disappointed. I rate it 2.5 stars overall. Seems like to-go orders such as Uber eats and door dash take priority. There was not even a long line when I ordered. I ordered the chicken sandwich, waffle fries and strawberry matcha. I waited a long time for my food. Roughly around 30 minutes I had to wait an additional 15-20 minutes for my matcha. It did not come out with my order. I saw many drink offers pilled up waiting to be picked up. By the time I sat down to eat my food it has been an hour since I ordered. The bun of my sandwich was burned. The chicken was okay. Reminded me of popcorn chicken. The scrambled eggs were a little runny. Too wet for my liking. I think the sandwich would be better without the eggs. Overall it was just meh. The waffle fries were good. The standout of the meal. The strawberry matcha tasted gritty. Overpriced for the quality of the drink. The tables were sticky and dirty. I really wanted to like this place.

    I wasn't sure about this spot. Everything looks very pretty in pictures, but the ratings were mixed. After trying Egghead, I kinda get it. The sandwich was decent, but it wasn't even warm enough to melt the cheese they put on it, and it cost A LOT for how much food you get. The strawberry matcha was a better value, though. The restaurant itself is kinda strange. You basically don't see the staff. They are hidden off somewhere in a room in the back, prepping orders. They occasionally pop out to call out an order. It kinda makes for a strange dining experience. I'm not really sure I'd go back. I don't think the experience and quality quite justifies the price.

    Ultimate Sando
    Siyi T.

    First time visiting this Egghead branch. It was located in the Rivermark plaza. We ordered the Ultimate Sando and Scramble Sandwich to go for a picnic. Both came with 3 scrambled eggs! The bread was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The Ultimate Sando also came with sausage and a generous portion of avocado slices. The sauce was creamy and a little spicy. The Scrambled Sandwich was similar to Ultimate Sando except that there was no sausage or avocado. I'd highly recommend the Scramble Sandwich if you like eggs! The restaurant was small with a few seats indoor. Ordering was self serve on the kiosk. There were a few more seats outside and plenty of parking in the plaza.

    The Scramble Sandwich

    Stopped by Egghead Sando Cafe for a Saturday morning breakfast and was pleasantly surprised! left full and happy :). As a vegetarian, I was a little bummed that there was only one meatless option (the Scramble) but luckily, it delivered. The eggs were perfectly cooked and paired well with the slightly sweet brioche bun. Super satisfying. The tater tots were amazing!! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, salty, they were seriously addictive. I also tried the rose latte, which was paired well with the food, not too sweet. Ordering is done through a kiosk, so there's not much interaction with staff. Indoor seating is spacious and comfy, but outdoor tables are limited. I went right at opening on a Saturday and had no problem parking, though the lot is pretty small. Prices are reasonable, portions are generous, and overall it's a solid breakfast spot

    Indoor decor

    In the Rivermark area of Santa Clara there aren't many choices for breakfast, let alone breakfast sandwiches so Egghead Sando Cafe is worth the visit. The store is clean, vibrant and offers indoor and outdoor seating, bathroom for customers, self serve water, and self serve ordering and pick up window. I ordered the "Side Chic" sandwich: grilled chicken (a little too heavy on the season salt for me, but I'm sure others would welcome it), egg over medium, bacon, arugula, on brioche bun. It was a huge sandwich! You'll definitely need a knife to enjoy half at time. I wish plates were offered for dine-in. The tater tots seem pricey on the menu, but you get a lot! Enough for 2-3 people. The tots were perfectly hot and crispy. There's a great selection of drinks so make sure to try one with your sando. It'll totally up your experience!

    What I like about Egghead sandos are that their serving is is that their serving size is great. For every sando their fried chicken is HUGE! Plus, it's still got the perfect crunch and juiciness inside. Yesyes. Usually I'm not a really big matcha fan, but this one changed the game. Loved the tart strawberry jam that combine well with the matcha taste. I want to add that there wasn't a lot of seating available, so I had to sit outside. The thing is, the seats and tables outside were dirty. If you go and sit outside, use wipes to wipe down all surfaces. Peace!

    The Scramble x2 and Hawaiian Morning
    Emily W.

    I've tried Egghead at the old Cupertino location before it closed down and thought it was quite good and wanted to try this location. I got The Scramble and it was solid. Eggs were fluffy and it also had cheese, grilled onions, chives, and spicy bun. I like how these are on brioche buns! Took a little while for food to come out. Handful of tables inside and outside.

    Sophia W.

    This place was always our go to when we aren't sure what brunch stuff to get. The last 2 times of take out has been super meh. This last time they gave us the wrong sandwich, we got a Hawaiian but no spam, just a regular burger. And the hojicha latte was really badly watered down. We tired to rescue it with milk at home and it was not possible. Guess we'll take a break from y'all for now.

    Pineapple Cucumber Green Tea
    Eric K.

    Egghead is a great option for breakfast sandwiches. This location has a cute and small interior. There are seats available if you wanted to sit in or do some work. The sandwiches are pretty thick which makes it so filling and worth the price. The pineapple cucumber green tea was nice and refreshing. I tasted the green tea with subtle aftertastes of cucumber. The pineapple was very very light. I was surprised how well cucumber matches green tea and it's unique. I usually order the chic or eggy. I went with the chic and added caramelized onions to it. The onions weren't caramelized enough for my liking. They were still white rather than translucent and brown. Tater tots were normal. I'm a huge sauce guy and it tasted a lot better with ketchup. The exterior was nice and crunchy with a chew. The portion is pretty big too, my container was full of tots. If you're looking for a fulfilling breakfast and Egghead is open, you'll definitely get full here.

Occasionally burnt espresso but I love them too much to mind. I am a matcha snob to say the LEAST. Hands down best coffee shop matcha in the Bay Area. The classic iced matcha latte with honey is grassy and earthy and creamy and a little sweet. The iced banana pudding matcha latte had people lined up around the corner for months when it came out. It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great. Basically you can't go wrong. They are always changing up the menu for the new season and have lots of unique drinks on their menu. Not much seating inside at this location. The winchester Blvd one has more if that's what you're looking for. Their pastries are also all yummy and they sell their matcha powder for $60 for 100g which is a GREAT price for a great matcha. I would've gate kept this place but everyone already knows about it so I HAVE to show them the love they deserve!!

I got the melon matcha with whole milk and the matcha cream top. I think I like their guava matcha more than the honeydew, but it was still good. It had a distinct honeydew flavor and the matcha itself was smooth. A friend of mine tried it and said it tasted like a lip smackers, which I think is a good way to describe it. I came on a Friday morning and it wasn't too busy. All the seats inside were taken but there were open tables outside. There's metered parking along Second and William street and it wasn't hard to find a spot. I love coming to academic and trying their new drinks, so I'll definitely be back.

The inside is small and was very crowded since they had several vendors set up inside. It was a bit claustrophobic. I think it would've been helpful if the volunteers managed the crowd and organized the lines a bit better. On the bright side, the staff were very friendly and helpful. I tried the summer special, Mango Creamsicle Matcha, with 50% sweetness. The matcha was delicious, the flavor really came through. I love matcha so I'm glad it wasn't weak. That said, I felt like the mango flavor was too subtle. I'm not sure if it's because I adjusted the sweetness but I could barely taste the mango so it didn't give mango creamsicle vibes. I still enjoyed the drink though. I would like to come back when it's less crowded to explore the market and try more drinks without the crowds.

It wasn't crazy busy so it was easy to order through one of their two tablets and find a spot to sit. It is very spacious and filled with many tables, so even when busy you'll likely be able to find a spot. The menu is a bit messy to look at--there is a big menu hanging over the kiosks, another posted alongside where a line is formed, then the menu on the tablet kiosks themselves. It's a pretty big menu featuring primarily coffee-based drinks, matcha lattes, and a wide variety of food, so you'll likely find something appealing. I ordered their smoked salmon bagel (which rang up to about $16) and their matcha latte ($8); to be honest, neither were outstanding. The salmon and avocado in the bagel were great, but the bagel itself was a bit stale--for $16, it's a bit hard to swallow. The matcha was very milky, and there is another store offering better matcha drinks in the same plaza. I'll admit, though, it's a little on me for not picking coffee at a spot with "coffee" in the name. I will say, though, that the atmosphere in the main area is pretty good; the decor is understated but comfortable, and the lighting is good. The service is also solid--the servers are friendly and our order came out quickly. I will say that the bathroom feels ominous. Overall, it's a great spot to study; Big Mug is open late, has free Wi-Fi and a bathroom for customers, and offers both food and caffeinated drinks for longer study sessions. I feel that the prices vary widely for items but skew towards being too pricy for the quality, at least from my limited experience. I plan on coming back to give other items a try, but for now, it's not a favorite.
