They give you a decent amount for the size you ask for, so make Aira you know how much you're getting!! Not sure if it was the cravings of the day/heat but with it being a little shop and there only being a few seats it was hard to fully enjoy the experience in the corner. With so many people visiting (the pictures were taken right before the crowd) I'm sure that's an indicator of how good it is! I will definitely be back to try other flavors or other items on the menu. Hopefully soon!

While the street parking is limited, I do appreciate that there is indoor and outdoor seating. So those of you with pups could enjoy a charming meal. I can imagine it gets quite busy during the weekend. We ordered a mocha, eggs benedict, and a slice of brioche French toast. I enjoyed the hollandaise sauce for the eggs benedict but could have been spruced up to have something beyond ham and brioche toast. Perhaps adding spinach or smoked salmon? The true star was the slice of brioche toast. Deliciously sweet and made with fresh ingredients. Savored that and the mocha as we sat outside, enjoying a beautiful day. Will definitely be returning to this spot when I visit SD.

The potatoes were cooked just right and the fruit was nice and sweet. Had a bite or two of their French toast and it was also great. My only complaint is that it was stuffy inside and kind of smelled. Not a problem though as we sat outside to eat.

This restaurant knows kids, and I was so appreciative. They even brought one for my 13 year old so she wasn't left out. Drinks - hot (but not too hot) chocolate served in tall mugs with whipped cream and sprinkles. Need I say more? Food - apple pie waffle for kid #1 - delicious! Kid #2- Biscuits and gravy - such delicious sage! We all had some and it was perfect. Kid #3 only wanted sourdough toast, and it was exactly what it should be. Maryland potato casserole- I had asked before ordering if they were large potato chunks (yes), so I knew what to expect. Our waitress let me know I could sub since it was a slow Wednesday morning, but I wanted to try it as nature intended. The ingredients were magic and very well cooked. I just don't like large chunks of potato and never will. The toppings (bacon/mushroom/spinach/onion/hollandaise/Swiss) were perfect and plentiful! Service- exceptional! From treating my kids like humans to accommodating us with an extra plate 'just in case', it was fantastic from start to finish. She knew I was unsure about the potatoes and even followed up to ask if I wanted it remade, which I absolutely did not because there was nothing off at all except my large-chunked-potato-aversion. I wish I could remember her name because she was awesome! Even the other staff nearby were friendly. Good vibes all around! Price - it's not cheap, but it shouldn't be with the quality of ingredients. I am so very tired of paying $100 for a family breakfast that I could make better at home. A true exception at Golden Egg!

I love this place too! It's right across from Culture of Life Services pregnancy resource center…read more Adorable interior. Adorable staff. Delicious food! Hollandaise sauce ! Potato casseroles !

I've gone here multiple times and have ordered the chili oil dumpling, beef and scallion steamed dumpling and the chicken broth dumplings. Full of flavor every time!

Your worker claims that he was just making small talk but he doesn't event start his small talk with any greeting?? Maybe a language barrier but manners is a bare minimum in customer service.

However this location was a 180 experience from Carlsbad. I order the iced mint espresso drink. I noticed the first time I had this drink they filled the cup to the top with ice which gives you less of your drink you're paying for. So I asked the girl to give me less ice. She said they couldn't do that. When asked why , her response was because that's not how they are made. We sat there going back and forth for a moment me asking why I just can't get less ice, then she said because the liquid won't fill the cup up to the top if they do less ice. But offered to top it off with water to fill it. We seemed to be getting no where so I just said make it however you guys normally make it then. She then proceeds to talk about me in front of me to the barista as they kept looking at me and laughing like I was an idiot to request less ice. Not a great second experience. My drink tasted very watered down. Next time I visit I'll happily drive to Carlsbad where they seemed to care about how you wanted your drink made to make sure you like it.
