Triple Hashbrown Special Egglet with Ham
Marcie L.

I came here on a Wednesday morning around 11 AM. You place your order at a register and pick it up at the counter. There are tipping options even though you're ordering and picking everything up yourself and even throwing away your own trash. The tipping culture is getting insane. I did have to ask the cook behind the counter what they recommended and to clarify a few menu items. I ordered the: *Triple Hashbrown Special Egglet: you can add extras, like bacon for $3.50 or ham for $2.00. I added ham, and the total came out to $16.15, which honestly feels high for what is basically a fast, casual breakfast spot. The eggs could've used more seasoning, there was no salt or pepper available at the counter, and the toast wasn't very crispy. The ham was nothing special, but the portion was large and could easily be split between two people. They do give a sauce to go with it, but it would've been nice to get two instead of one. *Cold Brew: it's decent, and you can add brown sugar for $0.75. Mine came out way too sweet, but they did give me extra cold brew to balance it out. Food came out in under five minutes. They have a self-serve station for condiments, napkins, and utensils. Staff were kind, and the place was very clean. Overall, service and speed were great, but walking out spending about $25 for a breakfast sandwich and coffee feels steep, even for California.

What a nice find in La Jolla. Appears to be a relatively new spot nestled in the shopping center strip mall. Great location if you also need to charge your Tesla EV, as this restaurant spot is next to a bank of chargers. We were looking for a breakfast fast casual place to eat in the morning before driving home to LA and stumbled upon this in the yelp search algorithm. The menu choices were fairly extensive ranging from sandwiches, salads, burgers, and hash brown potato sides. We ordered two sandwiches: Ham and Egg, and Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. Along with one salad. Plus two coffees. You can order through a touchscreen kiosk, which they have two stations available, or you can walk over to the in-person ordering at the other end of the counter. One recommendation I would have for the owner is to customize the touchscreen ordering menu to allow for a checkbox that says "no cheese". My wife didn't want cheese but there was no way to indicate it when ordering through self-service. We had to ask the staffer to hold the cheese and she wrote the change request on the ticket for the line cook to follow. We observed at least four or five consecutive customers needing the same modification after they ordered by self-service. Maybe they can update their menu ordering system with this "no cheese" option in the future so the poor staff person doesn't have to manually adjust the ticket every time! Sandwiches are quite large! If you're not that hungry, you might consider sharing a sandwich. It's loaded with folded scrambled egg with a nice amount of cheese, and nestled between two slices of soft chewy bread that holds the massive amount together somehow! The salad was also nicely prepared and had tasty hints of truffle Parmesan. The owner/staffer lady was super nice and friendly and very enthusiastic and high energy as she called out completed orders, and helped even bring the food order to your table too in many cases. Solid place to grab a bite! Bookmark it if you're a local!

Large outdoor patio!

We have been wanting to try Egglet sandwiches for a while, so we are super excited to finally visit it this morning! The store is super cutely decorated with egg themes. The ordering is done on two kiosks that you can easily browse the menu and see what the items look like. Their main dish is the "egglet" which basically is a Korean style egg sandwiches. The egg inside is scrambled eggs. The toast is sooo good! We really love the egglet. The hash browns are okay. I am not a fan of the seasoning on there, but some may like it. Although it's pricey, it is easily shareable for us when we order their combo. It's great to have a good breakfast place in the UTC area.

Double egg and cheese sandwich
Noah M.

The Baseline: For a breakfast/brunch cafe the food must be hearty/filling/satisfying for the early morning, there must be a mix of sweet and savory to fulfill that brunch/breakfast need, and service must be a welcoming start of your day experience. Food: Had the double egg and cheese sandwich. Really good preparation of the scrambled egg and the brioche bun was well toasted and the cheese was well melted. Good sandwich. Service: Order kiosk and the staff prepped the sandwich quickly. Friendly and welcoming to the cafe. Ambiance: Some indoor seating but it had a big patio. The Tesla Chargers are right outside so this is a great sandwich if you are here for a morning Super-Charge.

Double Sausage
Dominic B.

Eggs are the quintessential breakfast food and Egglet makes it the star of the show. They have an incredible list of egg sandwiches and on my visit I opted for the double sausage. The eggs are fluffy and the slices of toast are pretty thick too, so you're in for a hearty meal regardless of whichever sandwich you choose. They even come with a nice sauce that is slightly sweet. The staff makes things to order so you do get a nice piping hot sandwich too. And the ordering system from their kiosk was easy to use. A little pricy for a breakfast sandwich, but definitely worth a stop if you're looking for a hearty meal to start the day.

This was quite expensive as an egg Sando place but I think it was quite good. The 3.5 star is my actual rating but I give it extra for the service and the special sauce they give you. The orange juice was ok and wouldn't get it next time. Total Cost for two egg sandos and a juice $35

We wanted something quick and casual for breakfast and this was a good find. They serve their whole menu all day. I would say for the amount/quality of food, it's priced mid-range but it's also La Jolla so prices are typical of the area. Overall I would come here again if in the area. Korean BBQ burger- the soft, sweetened large ground meat was delicious. Salad- enjoyed the spring mix w egg and bacon for protein w a sweet, citrus dressing on the side. Egg, bacon sandwich was pretty good.

SMOKE BACON SPECIAL EGGLET ($11.79)
Nolita N.

Tried this spot once, and I think that might be my last time trying them. I saw someone in the reviews mention that the bread to egg to protein ratio was off, and I agree. But another thing was just how bland my sandwich was. I ended up adding their sauce to it, along with some from home and cheese. I think the lady taking our order got confused and marked no cheese on both sandwiches. SMOKE BACON SPECIAL EGGLET ($11.79): The egg was fluffy, the slaw was good, but I feel like the bacon was one piece cut in half. MAYBE 1.5 pieces. Overall, I feel like this could have been made at home. DOUBLE SAUSAGE EGGLET ($10.59): So this was on us for thinking that the sausage would be "American" style instead of hot dog sausages in the sandwich. Again, nothing to really write about.

Ham and cheese special
Lena N.

We came here on a Saturday morning around 10a. It wasn't too crowded. They offer a variety of egg sandwiches as well as burgers if you'd like a burger. The place has both indoor and outdoor seating. There are only two people working so if you go at a more crowded time, it might take some time to get your food. We ordered the ham and cheese special and made it a combo with monster truffle hash browns + orange juice. The monster truffle hash browns was SO GOOD. If you visit, you have to get this. The ham and cheese special was a little mid. It was lacking in flavor. For a place known for their sandwiches, this was a little disappointing.

Double cheese egg sandwich, bacon egg sandwich, truffle tater tots. Looks good but sadly doesn't taste as good
Ali B.

The food and menu certainly looks appetizing, but sadly the flavors are quite lacking. The egg is not very soft, considering they're an egg sandwich place, they should focus on making their egg soft and stand out. This feel like any regular scrambled/omelet style egg. If you've been to egg tuck and expect similar level of egg softness and fluffiness, you'll be disappointed. The sandwich itself also lacks flavor. I think they cna benefit in putting spicy mayo or garlic mayo, or stronger condiments in their sandwich to boost the flavor, as the egg itself is barely seasoned. The truffle tater tots is also sorely lacking in flavor. I mean truffle salt is not even that expensive. They could've provided few more shakes of the truffle salt. The place also looks a bit old and the flooring of the balcony is uneven and makes it a bit hard to walk on. The only saving grace was the person working there seems quite nice and works decently fast. But, I'm still quite disappointed overall with the place and I don't think I'll be back.

1st time trying out Korean breakfast sandwich. Pros: - Buttery toast, fluffy eggs, crispy hashbrown with wonderful truffle seasoning. I wish my smoked bacon special came with more cabbage, but that's a personal preference. - Service was prompt and everything came out piping hot! - Place is small but clean and there's plenty of parking! Cons: - Not for the faint of heart. This breakfast is very filling and might not be for those who don't like heavy breakfast. - Price is a tad high for a sandwich, but this is more quality over quantity type of place. *Not a con for me, but maybe for some. Tip: Get the truffle hashbrown and OJ for sure. Their orange juice is freshly squeezed, my favorite! The place cares about quality and it shows in their food AND refreshments.

I've had many Korean egg sandwiches that I still dream about, this definitely wasn't one of them. Place seemed to be semi-touched up with furniture, but definitely older tiles and interior from its previous owner. Ordered a few boxes for catering and it was all made on time. Price was pretty good for catering, but unsure I would do again. The bread didn't taste like that fluffy sweet delicious Korean sandwich bread, and eggs were a little dense- not the typical super fluffy/airy delicious type. Truffle sandwich eggs had tons of flecks in the egg- kind of seemed like an herb or parsley, which some of my colleagues did not like. Anyway, wasn't bad- but it felt like something I could have made at home.

Fresh squeezed oj

Came here on a Sunday morning. I was really excited. I didn't get entirely the concept from the name however. I tried to order from the kiosk but it didn't tell me what was on each sandwich. What's the names were very similar, so I went up to the register to order. When I asked the cashier about the sandwiches and the difference between the supreme she said it was cabbage but I didn't understand what was different about the cabbage. So I ordered without cabbage. I got a egg and cheese and then I added bacon and got a first squeezed orange juice and a plain hash brown, cuz I did not want the parmesan truffle strong flavor. I also wanted to put the hash brown into my sandwich. I feel like truffle over Powers a lot of things. Because she was very nice and they were very quick to get the food out but when I got the sandwich I realized that there was bacon missing from it. Also when I opened the sandwich I noticed at the egg did not fill the entire brand so they were going to be some bites without anything but bread. I was kind of confused why there was no sauce like mayo or Chipotle or something, but the citrusy sauce they give you on the side is actually really good and what you should be using. When I got the bacon it was actually a bunch of bacon crumbles and they were kind of hard and chewy which was disappointing to me. I thought it was going to be some special bacon but it was just plain old bacon. Orange juice was really cold and very nice, it was a great company and into the sandwich and the sauce. The establishment was nice and clean and they created a great atmosphere. I wish I understood more about that sauce they give you but it was really good. If you're taking leftovers home definitely take some of that sauce home with you. Okay

Family owned since the 1970s. I met Dave the owner today and got to chatting with him. :) Learned…read morealot! The food is delicious... known for their sandwiches! They also have smoothies, their "world famous cookies", candies, chips, etc. It's one of the oldest sandwich shops around. Quality ingredients with friendly staff. I used to come here a lot more in my 20s... I'm 35 now. It's always been consistent. I've never had a bad experience. There is seating outside you can eat your food at. Inside the shop, it has an old beachy sandwich shop vibe which I hope never changes. Great memories coming here. Will continue to come. Expect to spend around an average of $20 here.

Cheese Shop and Sandwiches in La Jolla Shores is super popular with locals and tourists mainly for…read moretheir sandwiches and oatmeal cookies. This shop on Avenida De La Playa, which is the Main Street closed off from cars, so people can walk freely, but parking is a challenge. The cheese shop can't be missed, with the green ivy covered store front. It's standing round only, no seating inside but limited outside seating. You order from the counter and they bring your order to you if you decide to sit outside. I selected the popular sandwich: Turkey, Jack Cheese and Avocado on sourdough bread with every veggie: lettuce, tomato, red onion was all it had. Just baked from the oven were the famous oatmeal cookies in caramel and chocolate, looked so yummy I didn't order any but the guy behind the counter complementary gifted a pair to me, so nice, friendly and cool!! Inside the shop didn't appear clean, I would describe the ambiance as divey. Sat outside and shortly my order was presented nicely wrapped sandwich and warm cookies. Took pics and took a bite and my consensus is that I was not a fan of this sandwich because I really prefer smoked turkey and not plain turkey. The sandwich looked subpar, the layering of ingredients weren't assembled as aesthetically layered as it can be and tasted just ok. My pup usually doesn't like smoked turkey or unfresh meats but she liked this plain roast turkey, which means it's more likely fresh and pass her approval. She also ate the contents of the sandwich sans the bread and onions of course. The oatmeal cookies were a real treat and lived up to the hype, kind of gooey, yummy and good for you...hence oats is fiber! As a cheese aficionado, this shop is not really a cheese shop with no abundant cheese selections. The shop should just be named sandwich shop, since sandwiches and candies seem to be their cash cows. If you're looking for a cheese shop, this isn't the place, but it might the place for a sandwich. Recommend
