Cute little brunch place. Very nonstandard dishes, though, so don't come expecting pancakes and bacon. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately the espresso machine was down when we visited, so we didn't get to try the coffee.

I had high expectations coming in but left a little disappointed. The inside had that European bistro feel but the food was mid at best and the service was very very slow. I would have understood if they were busy but such was not the case. I ordered the truffled egg brioche: truffled egg tartine, sous-vide poached hen's egg, roasted asparagus, truffle oil, preserved lemon, watercress, bottarga, fontina. It took almost 45 minutes after placing the order and it was without much flavor. I asked for ground pepper and our server brought out a very small amount in a dish. I'l plan to return and check out some of their offerings.

You know when you go back after a year and order Labneh Tartine again without knowing that was the same dish you ordered a year ago, it confirms the dish was THAT good! The flavors between tangy, sweet and sour were yet again epic! Pretty regular customer flow for a weekday it was delicious espresso and a lovely dish! The ciabatta added a nice crunch and texture! The fusion flavors were so evident. Okay must try!

vanilla latte with oatmilk (partially drunk)

This a lovely hidden gem located within walking distance of Hotel Carmichael and the Carmel Farmers' Market (which is where we came from)! Aesthetically, it's really charming with an eclectic mix of vintage decor and plants, mix-and-matched tables and chairs, with dim lighting. We were greeted promptly by a friendly employee. They were very helpful with our questions about the menu, as well. We ended up ordering the red rooibos cappuccino and a vanilla latte, both with oat milk. If you like your drinks sweet, I would definitely recommend asking for additional sweetener because they were on the bitter side but still delicious. As for meals, we both ordered the shakshuka with two eggs, and extra bread for dipping. It was phenomenal! The flavor was incredible. The tomato sauce was vibrant and full-bodied, but the addition of an herbaceous accompaniment really helped to brighten it. The eggs were runny and the yolk added a creamy element, too. We were both left feeling very content with our impromptu brunch and are glad we gave it a try! We'll definitely be back. There are several vegetarian options and the shakshuka can be made vegan. Their menu also states that they decline alterations to the entree items just fyi!

The moment you walk into this place, you know you're in store for something special. It has a shabby sheik feel with a relaxing European ambiance. Don't be in a rush when you come in cause it's not exactly speedy service. That's ok though especially when you know the food will be exceptional once it's placed in front of you. It's refreshing to see that the food here is prepared with love. The chef cares and it shows. The dishes here are on the smaller side than what you're used to. Instead of quantity, they focus on quality. A well prepared savory dish. It was Delicious. If you happen to be in the area and want to try something different, look no further. This is it. Enjoy!

We were staying at the nearby Hotel Carmichael so we decided to pop in for a late breakfast. I have to eat gluten-free and only did a quick glance at the menu before stopping in because breakfast is usually pretty easy for me to eat. I had one option on the short menu. My friend and I ordered different items-she had a quiche and I had dukka eggs. Both were very tasty. For me, normally, I would have likely opted for a different dish but I was pleased! She was happy with her breakfast and tea that was served in a lovely Staub teapot. Our service was quick and friendly. Coffee art was beautiful. When you walk in it feels like you've stepped right into a lovely Parisian bistro.

Loved this spot will definitely be back. Service was amazing, the waitress was very sweet and gave me perfect recommendations. The inside is nice with a little eclectic vibe. Shakshuka: 5/5 the sauce had perfect amount of spice. the bread they paired with had the perfect crunch while being soft inside. Polar opposite: 5/5 loved the drink, as you sip it changes from full espresso to a yummy latte ending.

Truffled Egg Brioche
Julie M.

Fantastic! First time here. Super cute decor, very European. Service was great, very friendly. I had the polar opposite to drink- a milk and espresso hot/cold layered drink-it was delicious! Very unique menu, so if you're looking for an average breakfast with bacon and eggs, this ain't it. This truffle egg on brioche blew my mind! I will definitely be back for the shashuka, which was highly recommended. Great little place!

We had a fantastic experience at Eggshell. A lazy Sunday drive in Carmel led us to dine in at Eggshell. Having sampled their food years ago, we finally got a chance to stop in. The atmosphere is like a Parisian Cafe. Eclectic, unique, and cozy! While we had a waitress, the owner Larry, stopped by to explain the dishes. Everything is made in house. In the summer he tries to grow everything he can for the dishes. I had the labneh toast and my husband had the shirred dukkah eggs. It was fantastic! Ask for extra toast! Larry continued to talk to us and told us of his travels and how he experiments with his dishes. Can't wait to go back!

5 stars. I entered…read morethis dive bar dressed to the 9's after attending a fundraiser for Prevail. I proceeded to have a seat at the bar as the patron to my left commented that I was grossly overdressed for this establishment. He wasn't wrong, but a girl needed some food! I ordered the smoked wings and a side of fries. I chose water to drink because I wasn't in the mood for anything else. BEST WINGS ANS FRIES!!! TWO THUMBS UP! The wings and fries are perfection. No sauce necessary. I tried the teriyaki but it wasn't to my liking and the wings don't require anything extra. They are perfection straight outta the kitchen as served on butcher paper. The fries are probably the best fries I have ever eaten. Seriously. I'm a fry connoisseur - I know my way around a fried potato! Best part: the price! They are priced appropriately. Portions size is great. Hearty wings, not lil wing dings. I only did 6 wings, but next time I'll do the full 12 and take some home. Better than Ale Emporium - argue with ya mamma, not me! I said what I said. Go Bears....Blackhawks...Bulls...Sky... it's a Chicago themed bar, so I'm sure you can find fans enjoying the games here. I'll be back! See you there!

I've driven past the place many times and never stopped because the exterior is underwhelming…read more Boy, have I been missing out. I came here for the first time to watch a Purdue game with boiler buds. We got a high top that seats 8 and it's perfect for watching sports. The food is large, hearty, and excellent bar food. Be prepared to leave full and with leftovers.
