This was a brunch spot that had outdoor seating and a large menu. There were a number of sweet options along with savory choices too. There were unusual choices too, which was interesting to see. The service was friendly and the food came out promptly. I went with the chimichurri omelette. It was made up of prime rib, hash browns, mozzarella cheese, and chimichurri sauce. I never saw this type before, so I wanted to give it a try. I also had a pancake instead of toast. The pancake was cooked a tad over, but it was alright. The omelet was large with plenty of meat incorporated. It was unique with the chimichurri sauce. It helped offset the lack of seasoning of the eggs. I also tried the Traverse city cherry salad which had turkey and cherry salad, pecans, dried cherries, Monterey Jack cheese, and tomatoes with a raspberry vinaigrette. This had a good flavor with the combination of raspberry vinaigrette and cherries, but there was way too much mayo or miracle whip in the turkey. Will I go back? Most likely. read more

A small but popular & super busy restaurant during breakfast time. I read couple reviews and was aware restaurant is small. We have 2 of us, a 3.5yo & 2 teenagers. It definitely on a tight side when sit down and eat, almost need another table. We were so full after breakfast, their famous hot chocolate with crackers & marshmallows was creamy & live up to the hype. I ordered strawberries short cakes pancakes- not so sweet & it, my toddler is a picky eater but he ate too. Couldn't finish but bring back to hotel & finish after that. Other plates that were ordered and finished in no time. We all were happy and my teens still wanted to be back the next day for breakfast. read more

The Omelette Shoppe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

I'm familiar with the Omelette Shoppe so I was happy that they had availability for breakfast while Nate and I were in town recently. We were able to grab a seat right away and our server was attentive and polite. The space is a bit small and cozy, but seemed clean enough. I ordered the Special Plate: eggs, bacon, fruit and choice of toast or pancake. Nate got the Leelanau scramble: spinach, wild mushrooms, scallions, scrambled eggs, tomatoes, and goat cheese. Our food came out pretty quickly, which was nice, as we were on a bit of a time crunch. I really liked the special plate - the eggs were perfectly cooked over medium, and the bacon was crispy. The fruit was just okay but it was a nice addition. Nate like his scramble and toast. Overall the prices were a bit higher than I was expecting but nothing outrageous. I like the option to pay via QR code. read more

If you are looking for a cheap, cute, and yummy breakfast in Traverse City, you must stop by The Omelette Shoppe! My friends and I stopped by on our trip and loved it! A few things you should know before you go: 1. VERY SMALL! We had a party of 5 and did not fit in the booths. I recommend only sitting 4 in a booth and if you have more in your party, split up. You will not be comfortable. 2. Usually a wait on the weekends (summer especially) so when you get there put your name in and walk around downtown while you wait, they will text you when your table is ready. 3. No iced coffee 4. Get a few things to share with the table. We tried a few different dishes like the cheesecake pancakes The staff was so friendly and accommodating to those with larger parties and strollers. Definitely will be back when im in the area! read more

Kerry was attentive to our breakfast needs and approached our table with a smile. The cherry cheesecake French press was delicious! Kerry asked if I wanted a to-go cup for my extra coffee. Her timing was excellent as I was wondering how I could drink it all before leaving. I eat gluten free and they have many accommodating items. Would eat here again if I visit the area. read more

The Omelette Shoppe - Feta scramble with gf toast and house made strawberry perserves. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

They have solid ingredients (good quality bread, eggs from local hens, really good sausage links per my husband, etc.) and even upgraded condiments (each table has freshly ground salt, freshly ground pepper, spicy ketchup, regular ketchup, and hot sauce) but there was way too much butter on everything. We each got the basic plate but felt the scrambled eggs, hash browns, and toast were all drowning in butter and couldn't finish. Also did not love the coffee, which tasted like old poor quality coffee. Inside was busy but spacious and service was relatively fast, but server was unapologetic when we pointed out she charged us for two coffees when we only ordered one. Not a huge deal though as she did change it. read more

Good food and great service. Josi was our server and she did a great job. Always a smile and very friendly. We got in before the rush which makes all the difference at both locations. Food is consistently good and orders are always correct. Plenty of choices for anyone. Love the pancakes and french toast options. Lots of places to breakfast in T.C. but this is our favorite and is a go to place in my book. read more

I wanted to give this place 5 stars but the only reason I won't is because the service was a little uncouth and rough. The servers seemed to run this place a bit like a toll booth, if that's an accurate analogy. It's kind of an average looking hole in the wall, but the food was excellent. We were seated fairly quickly and the silver ware (wrapped in a napkin at least to dull the fall) was literally dropped on the table and she was off. Then we had another server, who was very pleasant and easy going. She took our orders and everything was served quickly. My vegetable skillet was delicious, with nicely done eggs, a good amount of veggies and potatoes, served piping hot. Everything was good here, and some, but not all of the servers were just a bit rough around the edges. But that won't stop me from going back if I'm in TC again. read more

The Cass St Omelette Shoppe is great! Staff is friendly and a lovely location. Great breakfast! Thank you!

Wow. Just wow. The food is fabulous. I had a California veggie omelette and strawberry shortcake pancakes. They were to die for! I wish I could remember our waitress's name, but she was lovely and made suggestions. And the coffee was pretty good too... The guy next to us said the food was so good it made him wanna cry. I agree! read more

Cool little spot, even has outdoor dinning. Seated right away, yep got lucky. Server was nice, water and drinks came quickly, food not so much. Besides being slow, the food arrive like warm at best. The bacon was pretty thick and good. I had the blueberry lemon pancakes, sounds good right? Well buyer beware and read the entire description!!! The pancakes have lumps of ricotta cheese randomly in them. Who the heck puts ricotta cheese in pancakes? The parts that didn't have the nasty cheese in them were pretty good though. A veggie skillet with added ham was also ordered, you guessed it, Luke warm at best. The bottom was clearly scraped off the pan and the burnt bottom was included in the food. Oh yeah, get ready to overpay for ok food. I personally will try somewhere else for my next breakfast. read more

The place was really busy. The service was friendly and the food was ok. I got the Chorizo Scramble, which was tasty. My wife thought her scrambled eggs were perfect. The cinnamon roll was good, but not great. Brittany, our server, was very friendly and took care of us during a crazy busy Fourth of July morning. read more

Came on a Saturday for brunch with my family. This is a VERY tiny restaurant and I would highly encourage you to put your name on the list about an hour beforehand. There's also not much room to wait inside, so be prepared to walk around a bit! The Reuben I ordered was fantastic! I loved the taste and how crispy the rye bread was--delicious! My only critique is that the red skin potatoes were pretty mushy; I wish they were a bit crispier. The service was also fantastic here. Our server was quick and polite and did a great job explaining all of the different options on the menu. We will be back to try more things! read more

Hands down the best breakfast place!!! They have amazing pumpkin pancakes with this awesome fluff. Amazing omelettes and eggs Benedict's. You will not leave hungry because it's huge awesome portions. The service is so quick and they are so friendly. Everytime you needed something they were there in seconds. It's a cute, quiet, little shop with no fancy decor just old rustic house look. It could use a little face lift and clean up but I think it would ruin the family cozy vibe. read more

The food was great! As was the service. We were there 5 years ago and had to stop in when we were in TC last week. it's still the best place for breakfast! read more

The food is always delicious. Unique and extremely open to requests. Service is always super friendly but wait times are consistently long for beverages, refills and food. It is something I expect now, but still don't love. I do like the food and atmosphere so I return again and again. read more

Small location was hopping on Friday morning. Had to wait about 15 minutes for a seat. Pancake Platter - two pancakes and I would say two medium eggs with three pieces of bacon. At $14!it was a little steep. Omelet that was ordered was on the small side as well. I've had much better breakfasts for less. I'm not a local but if I was I would find another place for breakfast. read more

This is a MUST stop for your breakfast/brunch needs while in Traverse City. Everything came out as ordered, and there was a very short wait for food. We went around 9:30, just before the late morning rush. Make sure you get in the waitlist online! The food was great! I added spinach to sausage and gravely because it was missing one thing. Just add your favorite veggie to complete the taste pallet. On all of the omelettes, they did NOT short you on the filling items. The New Mexican was full of avocado and jalapeño! read more

The food and service was great! I had the cinnamon bun French toast and it was incredible.

Food was good but not amazing. I had french toast and I wish they soaked it in the egg mix longer because the inside of my french toast was fully dry. My gf said her eggs benedict was really good and we both thought the waitress was really nice. Giving a 4 only bc of my dry french toast:) read more

I waited 20 minutes for a table but not upset as I love(d) this restaurant...asked for coffee, a grilled cheese sandwich WITH THE TOMATOES ON THE SIDE and my hash browns well done and crispy. Got a cup of lukewarm coffee (had to wait almost 4 minutes to hale the waitress). My meal came (still no coffee). The cheese on the sandwich was cool and not melted, the avocado was dark brown and the tomato was right on the sandwich which made the sandwich bread very soggy. The hash browns were tan in color, hardly cooked and definitely not crispy as I had asked for. So disappointing, I will not be back. read more

Got the breakfast burrito w/o egg. Comes with a side of potatoes. The potato's came out cold but everything else was good! My friend got the heavenly hash, she also enjoyed hers! They have a lot of gluten free options and can cater to food sensitivities well. The restaurant is pretty small so not suitable for large parties. 5 of us had to squeeze into one booth. read more

I called ahead to check to see what the wait was for brunch this morning. It was just after 11 AM. Sophie answered the phone. She let us know that the current weight right now is 45 minutes to 15 minutes for a table for two people. That's all fine, since we aren't quite hungry, yet. I hope we don't have to wait outside is all. It was about a 40 minute wait for a table. Half capacity and it's not a big place. All booths all over the place and one booth closed between. We built our own omelets. Mine had wild mushrooms, spinach, green chilies, broccoli, avocado, onions, jalapeños, asparagus and Turkey sausage and my husband's had wild mushrooms, green peppers, green chilies, spinach, avocado, black bean, jalapeño and onions. We both got fruit on the side instead of toast or pancakes. My omelet had some residual burnt hash browns from someone else's dish and my husband's omelet had corn he didn't order in his omelet. I am not sure I got $2 worth of Turkey sausage in my skillet, more like $0.50 worth or $1 at most. Service was super warm and friendly. Some hard brown unidentifiable object in my omelet. I thought it was the stem from the avocado, but it has the coloring of the shiitake mushrooms. The omelets starts at $9.50 and comes with one item. They also charged each of us an additional $0.99 for each side of fruit upgrade instead of toast or pancake. Would have been nice to be told so when we had ordered. Service was good otherwise. read more

I started off with a French press of locally sourced coffee, and he got a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice with the pecan cinnamon roll french toast- which was insane desirous! I got the Eggs Benedict, which was a perfect choice on this chilly Traverse City morning. We shared half order of biscuits and fresh sausage gravy. Everyone was on point! They allow substitutions which was a pleasant surprise, I was able to get a salad instead of hashbrowns for my eggs Benny. And the salad had Traverse City cherries on it!! Nice smoky bacon. The eggs Benedict was cooked to perfection, the eggs are poach perfectly, the Canadian bacon is so tender and flavorful, not too salty. The pecan French toast is amazing to desert for breakfast, and you can tell everything is made fresh! It's a hidden gem, that's for sure! read more

Doesn't matter what you order, its all quality delicious. Excellent food. Large portions. Nice plating & garnish. Well priced. Waitress staff are super courteous, patient, and kind. I was hoping in their southwest burrito, that the inner contents were more course, instead of almost like a baby food paste. But tasty nonetheless! And warning their regular coffee is literally the strength of a French press. Yeesh! My body is sensitive to caffeine. read more

Really good, small local mom and pop breakfast spot. Go to the Downtown Traverse City location, there are two in Traverse City. Finally experienced the Omelette Shoppe in Downtown Traverse City and it exceeded expectations! I ordered the Lealenau Scramble with wild mushrooms, spinach, scallions, tomatoes, and goat cheese with red skin potatoes. Killer! I opted for the cherry toast (not pictured) and it was the bomb! It was thick, with huge cherry pieces and icing. Like a marriage between a pastry and sweet bread. Definitely recommend! - Tip: You can get pancakes instead of toast with your order. Go with a friend, order pancakes and toast and share! Pancakes were light, fluffy, buttery and perfect! read more
