Benny and his workers amazing my friend and I had the best service in a long time. Very attentive food was great, we will return day by day to try new things. Our new favorite spot thanks for the hospitality. Very pretty establishment and beautiful ambiance. read more

Came here on a Saturday, I'd advise to come early because the line gets super long. Ate upstairs, the ambiance is super chill. Service was excellent and attentive! My friend and I ordered the steak chilaquiles verde and tres leches French toast. I forgot to take a pic of the French toast- but both was 5/5. The steak was cooked perfectly, presentation was pretty, and it all tasted so good together. The French toast with berry compote was super yummy and balanced. Not too sweet. My friend and I also got a bottle of champagne to make mimosas. We had the guava, mango, and cranberry (I think I didn't taste this one) on the side in little glasses I love guava but the mango was the best flavor! I would recommend this place for the service and especially the food! I want to come back and try more. read more

The food is really mediocre. The sandwiches/burgers lack character -- they feel formulaic, almost pre-made, with no sense of being handcrafted. the view of the patio is nice. read more

Such a cute brunch spot!! I came here with my husband and toddler on a Thursday around noon. You order first and then find a table. It was pretty packed but thankfully we were able to snag a table inside. The food didn't take too long to come out. We got the Tres Leches French Toast and Braised Short Rib Hash. My toddler loved the french toast because of all of the berries that came with it. It was tasty but like other reviewers mentioned, the berry compote overpowered the tres leches. The short rib hash was decent but not worth the price point. The food we ordered didn't satisfy us as much as we were hoping it would. I give the food 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4 stars because of the beautiful ambiance. read more

I arrived around 1:10pm on a Saturday (this establishment closes at 3pm) thinking who would dine here at this hour. Let me tell you, at least 30 other people. Luckily, the line was moving pretty quick. Since my friend and I were going to share dishes, we decided on one sweet one savory. Steak and fries - steak, cooked perfectly. Fries nicely crisp. Salad, fresh. French Toast - this is one of the popular items however, I wasn't too impressed with it. Could've been sweeter. The space is huge, great service. read more

I was a walk in with my childhood friend from out of town before Pilates. We got shrimp tacos, avocado toast, a bottle of mimosa and it was sooooo yummy! The portions are perfectly sized, seasoned, and plated. Not only does everything look good but tastes good too. I really recommend getting a mimosa bottle if you know you're in for a long yap session, I love that they give you all the flavors to try- my favorite were guava and cranberry. The service was the perfect level of attentive and when we annoyingly asked for pictures to commemorate our hangout, the server was happy to humor us. Another note on service- We had asked if we could get a table on the rooftop and they tried their best but couldn't make it work because of how busy they were. Oh well. No big deal! We enjoyed our sunny little high top regardless and forgot about the rooftop entirely. When we later on finished our meal they were so kind to bring out a churro waffle and apologize for not getting us a table, it was not expected at all. But such a kind gesture and testament to how much thought and care they put into their restaurant. They genuinely care about their customers because we would've enjoyed our time at Eggy's regardless! Unfortunately for me, I'm now hooked on another one of their dishes hehehe so I will now be back for my shrimp tacos, guava mimosas, AND churro waffle hahaha read more

Eggy's always been that kind of spot to hang with friends, take cute pics, and pay a little extra for the ambiance. The place is super aesthetic and the plating is beautiful. but food-wise, I'd say it's pretty middle of the pack for a latin-fusion brunch. The best part of the chilaquiles verdes was honestly the chips. they tasted freshly fried and the texture was great (as it should be at that price). Flavor-wise though, the sauce and toppings didn't really wow me. The birria was tender, but a bit too salty for my taste. The fries from the birria dip sando were fine but nothing special. The sandwich was soft and comfy, and again the birria was tender but leaned salty. The consomé was decent, but not as rich or deep as the kind you get from even a good street taco stand. The huevos rancheros were also fine. Everything tasted fresh, but nothing that made me go I need this again. Tres leches French toast was the standout. I actually messed with the house blueberry jam heavy. The toast itself is still just french toast, and yeah it's pricey, but it was the one thing that felt memorable. Service was nothing to write home about, you line up to order at the register then they give you a number and sit you at a table. Water, napkins, and condiments are all at the front as self serve. Our group of four left full and satisfied, and for Berkeley it's a vibe. In the same brunch category, I think la note is better, feel like Eggy's is more style than substance. read more

Eggy's in Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto is a few doors down from the legendary Chez Panisse. It's a well-run, Asian fusion breakfast spot with a slightly unusual setup: you queue up to order and may wait there for a bit, but the staff is organized to help you find seating after ordering. We arrived at 10 a.m. (early for brunch) and waited, standing for 30 minutes in a line, to order. Seating is about 60% outdoors, split between a garden area and a rooftop patio with umbrellas and café chairs, and 40% indoors. They have a solid menu with both sweet and savory options, including French toast, waffles, a handful of Benedicts, and a meaty hash. We had the chicken and waffles: boneless fried chicken with freshly made, deep fried waffles that leaned indulgent, reminiscent of a funnel cake. The fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent. Overall, the staff runs a tight ship. The brunch offering is good, even if a fried waffle wasn't our speed. It's worth a visit, and at its best when the line is shorter. read more

Food was really tasty! The line was long, but they got us in in no time, lots of smiles and attentiveness from the staff. Tunes were cranked, we were dancing and chewing! Definitely recommend! read more

Eggy's was marvelous as far as the food and service were concerned. I ordered the light and fluffy Churro wafflfes thay come with mixed berries and scoop of vanilla ice cream. Added a side of roasted potatoes and cleansed my throat with thier house coffee. My friend had a Rib-eye steak & egggs with sourdough toast/roasted potatoes. The restaurant has 3 levels.....2 for outside seating garden paradise setting and inside is set up like being in your home kitchen and dinning room. The thing that was a little off putting was climbing a flight of stairs to the bathroom. The water bar was a nice touch. Overall a good brunch day. Ciao for now..... read more

Breakfast done right! I loved the ambiance, as it felt like a secret garden in the back tucked away from the busy Shattuck Ave traffic. I'd recommend you wear layers even with the outside heaters, as there's not much direct sun and it can get drafty in the yard. During the weekend brunch rush, they can run out of tables fast and build up quite a line. The eggs Benedict, however, are excellent and the best priced for the portion size on the block (I think). Their hollandaise sauce is not too sweet or oily, and their potatoes were delightfully crispy. I really enjoyed their lemonade (caution - it's super sweet, which I like but just fyi). And I loved how even though it was busy, my friend and I could have a nice cozy conversation without feeling like we needed to shout or have people crowded over our table while they stand waiting. The entrance can be a little hard to find because it's in the back, so just keep walking in toward the center of the quad if you are entering from shattuck. There is decent enough parking if you are willing to walk a few blocks, or if you are shopping at some of the other businesses that provide timed parking for patrons. I give it 4/5 stars because the place and food are just missing that extra oomph to make it a really special and exceptional experience. Then again, brunch on a Sunday might not be the best time to judge that experience, so I'll be sure to visit again on another day and see how it compares. Eggy's is a solid and charming place for a staple Sunday brunch at a decent price for the neighborhood. read more

Came on the weekend for brunch and as I expected there was a line to order. The line does move regularly but because this is such a popular spot, be prepared to stand in line for a bit. Once we ordered our food was brought out faster than I expected. I ordered the verde chilaquiles and sangria. I found the chilaquiles to be flavorful and not completely soggy (which is important to me!). read more

First time at Eggy's and I loved it. The space is charming and cozy, and the Hobbit-like door at the entrance is such a fun touch. You order and pay at the front, then relax while the food is brought to your table. We shared the braised short rib hash, which was incredible--melt-in-your-mouth tender short rib, rich hollandaise, and what perfectly seasoned potatoes. The churro waffle was the real standout. Unlike typical "churro waffles" that are just cinnamon-flavored, this one truly has the crunchy, sweet texture of a churro. Topped with blueberries, strawberries, a drizzle of dulce de leche, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it was pure indulgence. Cozy, decadent, and absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommend. read more

Eggy's Neighborhood Kitchen is a bustling cafe in Berkeley! It gets extremely busy on the weekends. My group of six got lucky Saturday morning as two of us got there right at 11am and waited. It filled immediately as we started waiting in line. We were sat on the uppermost deck of the restaurant, which is accessible by elevator or stairs. I was a bit surprised we just got seated on a foldable table and chairs given the price of the food and the ambiance downstairs. They at least had umbrellas set up so we were not baking in the sun. I ordered Chorizo Hash and Eggs, as well as a coffee. We didn't have to wait more than ten minutes for our food to arrive. I honestly thought the dish was okay and didn't have anything too remarkable about it. While it was extremely filling, I thought there would be more flavor given the price and popularity of the dish. I would have given three stars, but I got to taste test my friend's dishes, which were extremely delicious. I would opt for a sweeter dish if I go a second time. Overall, I thought it was a decent experience. The downstairs ambiance is nice, the service is great and quick, and the menu wasn't overwhelming. read more

Stopped in for one last breakfast before leaving the bay. I heard about the hype here, and after an hour wait we decided to stick with our choice. You ordered first then are seated by staff, everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The poke nachos were out of this world. My husband and I speak and think of those so often and if we were closer, we'd be ordered to go of those all the time!! Lol The chilaquiles were okay. They seemed a bit soggy. Husband ordered the green, I ordered the red, which were spicy. Loved the spicy on the red, but flavor on the green ones were way better. All in all, pretty good. Would come here again. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience was too concerning to ignore. I came to Eggy's in Berkeley for a birthday brunch with friends, and during our meal a staff member accidentally spilled hot coffee directly onto my friend--on her chest, arm, and thighs. While I understand that accidents can happen, the way this was handled by management was completely unacceptable. The waitress did apologize, but beyond that, there was no urgency, no first aid offered, and no real concern shown for my friend's condition. Instead, the manager/owner was dismissive, repeatedly saying "accidents happen," and even told us we could "contact his lawyer." At one point, he remained seated nearby, laughing and watching our table, which felt incredibly inappropriate given that my friend had just been burned. When we asked about an incident report, we were told none would be created because it's a "small business." That response alone was alarming. A guest was physically injured, and there was no effort to properly document or handle the situation. Despite our group spending over $200, the only resolution offered was removing one meal from the bill. No accountability, no professionalism, and no care for the person who was actually hurt. What was meant to be a birthday celebration turned into a very uncomfortable experience. Watching a friend be injured and then dismissed like that was honestly upsetting. I hope this is taken seriously, because no one should be treated this way after being injured at a restaurant. read more

Okay be prepared to stand in LINE!! For a little while! My friend and I went on a Saturday at about 11:30 AM for some context we I took the Eggy's entrance photo at 11:38AM and the food at 12:57PM However .. I would say the food was worth it!! The French toast was delicious however when I hear tres leches I expect milky, soaked, but it was more of just a sauce! However still delicious. The omelette I enjoyed!! and the breakfast sandwich my friend really liked! The outdoor seating is nice and same with the indoor; the only thing with the outdoor seating is that the line is just watching you eat lol! read more

We had such an amazing experience! We ordered the fried chicken & waffles, birria tacos, mango and cranberry mimosas, and berry lemonade and everything was absolutely delicious. The food was seasoned so well and full of flavor! The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were incredibly patient, helpful, and kind. A special shoutout to Arnold, who was one of the coolest people and made our experience even better. He was so patient with my picky 5-year-old -- and that says a lot because my child even asked, "When are we coming back?" It's definitely worth the wait, so don't let the line discourage you! Trust me, once you taste the food and experience the service, you'll understand why people keep coming back. Great food, great vibes, and amazing customer service. We will definitely be back! read more

Busy, busy, busy! When we first walked in from the street we were a little confused on where to go, I believe there are a few restaurants in the space that share the outdoor seating. After walking past a few tables we saw a line and the Eggy's sign. The line is formed in a beautiful garden oasis that includes a water element. Once we were at the front of the line we ordered our food, paid, and the host escorted us to an upstairs outdoor table. The table sizes vary from picnic tables to small bistro sets and are very close together. The food was scrumptious. We enjoyed the tres leches French toast, breakfast burrito, shrimp tacos, and coffee. My husband said the shrimp tacos were the best he's ever had, the tres leches french toast was delicious even without maple syrup, and the breakfast burrito was meaty and flavorful. We'll definitely visit again and highly recommend trying Eggy's. read more

1st time here on a Sunday, the wait was not too bad. It Can be deceiving from the outside, you think there's not a line, but there really is, but it was not bad. Staff was very nice and attentive. The chilaquiles with the steak was delicious. The chilaquiles chips were homemade and crispy and they paired perfectly with the green sauce, the steak was cooked to perfection, the chimichurri elevated the steak all together. Now to the chicken and waffles, definitely not a fan. The waffles were deep fried, which I saw that on the menu that the churro waffle was deep fried, but I did not see that in the description for the chicken and waffles or else I would not have ordered it, the waffle was too oily snd just fell apart. The chicken had a lemon flavor which for lunch is probably really good, but for my breakfast I did not care for that, they then put a spicy sauce on top of the chicken and waffles which is spicy as described. I was very pleased with the chilaquiles and the coffee, because I really liked their coffee brand choice. They have a very chill cool ambiance. I definitely recommend and will for sure return to try something new. read more

SUNDAY BRUNCH : SAUCE IS BETTER THAN A1 Price: $$ ($25-$30) Food 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service 3/5 Eggy is one of the best brunch spots, I've been to in months here in Berkeley. The portions are generous, the potatoes are delicious, and that sauce on the steak and chicken is incredible. The food and ambiance were great, but the service was slow. It took at least 50mins-1hr to wait in line and order and another 25 minutes to get our food, so I'm giving it 4 stars. Seating is open seating and on a busy day good luck finding one. And we got the tres leches French toast. I think is overhype, it's alright. Didn't bothered taking a photo. The Star of the show is the sauce and potatoes were amazing! I'll definitely be back, just probably not on a Sunday. read more

This is such a beautiful brunch spot!! 10/10 on the ambiance. We visited for a weekend brunch and there was a loooong line through the alley leading to the restaurant. It moves quickly though, so don't be discouraged! Definitely come early if you don't want to wait though. You order at the counter, then the employees help you find seating. We had a slightly large group of 6, and the employees were all very accommodating in helping us find seating in time. We were sat outside beneath the trees which I enjoyed! I ordered the classic eggs benedict and it was deliiicious. It comes with a side of potatoes. I feel like at most brunch spots, the potatoes can always be a hit or miss, especially if they don't meet the "crispy" factor that I look for. Buuut, these ones were delicious! Well-seasoned, and I appreciated the flavors that the peppers/onions added to it. The benedict itself was also super good - the hollandaise was rich, and the eggs were perfectly poached. I'd definitely come back if I'm ever in the area again! All of the food I tried were super good, and the staff were also friendly. read more

On a recent weekend, my husband & I (and our 2 French Bulldogs) sought a casual brunch spot, preferably with outdoor seating. Eggy's hit the spot! Although the line to get in was considerable, (wait estimated at 40 min.) it moved right along and staff even provided menus so we could make our selections before seating. This seems to be a spot where large groups (families, Cal students) like to gather, but we 2 felt equally welcome. Service was fast & friendly. The food itself was delicious and presentation was appealing. We had an omelette (bacon, mushrooms & brie) and a Benedict. The accompanying roasted potatoes were quite tasty too. Our young server was friendly and knowledgeable. The servers appeared to operate as a smooth-running team, pitching in to help each other. Prepare to wait in line but you'll be rewarded! read more

I visited on a weekday, and I was pleased to find the lane short, allowing us to get a table easily. Our food arrived promptly, which was great! I was a bit disappointed to discover that coffee options have been limited, but the menu still offers a wide variety of choices. In our party of two, I ordered steak and frites, while my friend opted for steak and eggs. We both thoroughly enjoyed the quality and flavor of the meat. I especially loved the salad--it was fresh and the dressing was delightful. The staff was very friendly, which added to our enjoyable dining experience. I plan to return on weekdays, as it tends to get hectic for brunch on weekends. read more

Is my day off so I decided to come in for breakfast with my sister and friends and their kids. I had a blast. We came in just on time to not be waiting in line to order. This is a place where you order at the register and the cashier brings your food to your table. We ordered coffee, a michelada and a mimosa, then we order our food. 4 orders of chilaquiles with steak , 1 order of chicken & waffles and one order of French toast. Everything Amazing, no complains only compliments. The guys that helped us were very nice and attentive, we got everything we needed, and there was coffee refills constantly which I loved. The place has outdoors sitting and second floor sitting as well. The place is pretty cute and relaxing. I will be coming back read more

Arrived on a Sunday morning at approximately 10:40 a.m. and had about a 30-minute wait. As a first-timer, I was a little confused about how everything worked, but I was able to ask a server, and she was nice enough to explain that you order first and then will be seated. I decided to order the Tres Leches French Toast and the Churro Waffle, and my boyfriend ordered the Chorizo Bene. For drinks, we ordered a fresh-squeezed orange juice and a mango mimosa (amazing, by the way--coming from someone who hates mimosas, they sold me on this one). The Tres Leches French Toast was good, but I definitely loved the Churro Waffle. Overall, as far as the food goes, I would say it is definitely five stars. However, the serving time is where I think there needs to be improvement (in regards to both food and timing). I hate that I had this experience, in all honesty. I understand that this is a very busy place; customer service was great, but the staff were definitely overwhelmed. I was able to receive my order (French Toast) fairly quickly, but unfortunately, my boyfriend waited over 20 minutes for his Chorizo Bene. It may have been longer if I hadn't asked and inquired about his plate. I also ordered a side of potatoes that was forgotten. The staff were nice and accommodating about bringing out our food once we mentioned it, so I cannot complain about the customer service. I think if our food had been brought out in a similar time frame, I would have rated it well over five stars if I could. Nonetheless, the ambiance and atmosphere were great! Clean restaurant, nice area--definitely a struggle to find parking because it is busy, but definitely worth the wait. I hope to try again and hopefully have a smoother experience next time. read more

The food was good. I got the tres leches French toast and it was very soft and not too sweet. The fresh fruit and the jam on top were both amazing. And the house potatoes omg were like crack. They were so soft on the inside with the perfect crispy crust. Now the reason I took a star off was that the waiters kept forgetting our stuff- brought the wrong order, forgot our drinks, and then we had to ask for to go boxes multiple times. I understand it was SUPER BUSY though. That being said we had to wait over an hour to get seated so get here early or expect to wait for a long time for weekend brunch. read more
