I go out to breakfast frequently with my parents and I wanted to try something new, so I suggested we go to East Egg. We walked in the door and my parents were thrilled when they saw Alicia, who I learned was their favorite waitress from East Egg in Portage. We seated ourselves, and the interior was clean and I liked the decor. The food and service were absolutely amazing! Today was "free bacon Friday" so bacon was added to all of our orders for free. I had a bacon, egg and cheese omelette that came with hash browns and toast or pancake, and I added a side of grits. I had asked for grape jelly for my toast and Alicia brought the grape jelly, but she also brought me some strawberry jelly she wanted me to try because it was homemade. It was really good! Tami, the owner, came over and talked with us after we had finished eating. When she found out that I liked biscuits and gravy she told me that theirs was homemade, and she gave me some to take home so I could try it. I could not believe how friendly Alicia was, and then to talk with the owner who was extremely friendly as well...I'm just mad that we did not come here before today. I highly recommend this restaurant for the food and for the service. I will be back. read more

Everything was great, from the food to the atmosphere to the service. The waiter was one of the best I've ever had and even gave us one of the best pancakes ever - a cinnamon roll pancake. I will be coming back. read more

East Egg is my go to for breakfast. These people work their ass off serving the community of Kalamazoo. They consistently serve great, high quality food, and pleasant conversation. The staff will bend over backwards to make your visit pleasant. This is a mom and pop operation, so please go support them. read more

East Egg - Pancakes and Side of Bacon with Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

The manager at this location didn't believe me when I called to tell her that not only was the whole order wrong, which I was going to eat anyway and not say anything, but then I chomped on this huge piece of METAL. Their whole practice must be half-witted and lazy, which is dangerous in a kitchen. read more

As a young girl, I was always told that Breakfast should be the most important meal of the day, it's fuel for your day to get Started! East Egg by WMU campus did not disappoint, I have been watching SM postings of some their dishes and had to go in to see what it was all about. My kids got a Cheeseburger w/ French fries and their dinner plate size Chocolate Chip pancakes. I am a sucker for a good corned beef and tried the Northerner which includes 2 eggs, corned beef hash (must add green peppers/onions), hash browns and toast! Packed full of juicy flavors and perfectly well seasoned. I definitely will be headed back to try other menu items! read more

The food was stellar. The staff were great. Prices were good. Their jams are off the charts. Usually when we leave a breakfast shop you can taste the grease the food was cooked in,not here. The country fried steak was awesome and very filling. We definitely will be going back and bringing the rest of the family. Awesome job. read more

Had heard good things about their corned beef, so I ordered the Northerner, which seemed like the closest I could get to corned beef hash. The hashbrowns took up more than half the takeout container (they were good). The eggs took up more than a quarter of the container (they were cooked perfectly). Once I had taken out those two things, I realized the corned beef hash consisted of 5 small pieces of meat and a sprinkling of small diced peppers and onions. I might have 4 bites in total. That just seems absurd to me. I'd also read good things about the cinnamon roll pancake, it was good. The biscuits and gravy were good, but I scraped off what gravy I could, to accompany the bites of biscuit, and ended up tossing about 3/4 of the biscuits because I'd already run out of gravy with about 4 bites. All in all, food quality was good, food portion size was extremely disappointing and not worth ordering again. read more

My to go order had small portions, for the price that was paid. my food didn't taste like it did years ago,

Awesome and great service. Came in and ordered. Food came fast but wrong and replaced immediately and even better kept the mistake. read more

East Egg - quesadillas on a yellow plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

There weren't any tables available, not surprisingly at 10:30am on a Sunday, when I arrived. I was greeted quickly and then had a table within 5 minutes. I overheard many say "you have to get the cinnamon roll pancakes". So I ordered the Pancake Combo, with 2 pancakes, meat and eggs. Adding the cinnamon roll was $2 more and worth it! The pancakes were huge and I could only finish half. Will be back to try more things. read more

My breakfast burrito was the best I've had...delicious!! Tammy, the owner, stopped by our table to chat. She surprised us with a sample cinnamon roll pancake which I'd heard about but had not tried. Oh my, so wonderful! It was my first time eating there, but it won't be my last. I'm already craving another breakfast burrito. read more

Enjoyed a great breakfast with outstanding service. Hashbrowns were perfect - crispy outside and tasty tender inside. Eggs over medium were spot on with solid, cooked-through whites and runny yolk. Simple, but delicious. Waitstaff were friendly with everyone in the restaurant- made for a really pleasant dining experience. read more

East Egg for the win!! My son and I had a last minute breakfast date and we're glad we went to East Egg. Joanna our server was so friendly and kept our coffee cups full. The food was outstanding read more

This was my first time walking in and no one has greeted me after 5 minutes. There were 4 people on staff and all just stared at me and finally someone acknowledged me. Would not be coming back to this restaurant. read more

Owner and wait staff were very friendly. Food was great. Restaurant is clean. Well be back in a quick minute. read more

Food is excellent but the service is awful. Walked in never got greeted. Had to ask if we just sat ourselves, server looked less than thrilled to answer me. Waited like 20 minutes for someone to take our food order. Thankfully the food was good and we were finished eating for sometime. Took an additional 20 minutes for them to take our plates and give us the check. Then took additional 10 minutes for them to run our card. We were there for way longer than we expected or wanted to be. Staff was just unfriendly (really nice taller lady was the only friendly server). Wouldn't go back to this location. read more

Great food, great staff, phenomenal service! Highly recommend to anyone who wants good breakfast and lunch food. read more

East Egg - a sandwich and french fries on a blue plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

staff was very nice and my waffle and bacon were good. However our experience wasn't the best. Sat at a table for nearly 20 mins before someone finally came to take our order, and after that we were not checked on once. Food took forever to come out, our server was more concerned about his doordash tablet than checking on his tables. Charged me $3 extra for fruit i never ordered, then gave me a look like i was lying when i went up to correct my $18 waffle order. Scrambled eggs seemed to be premade too and were not very good. Probably won't be coming back. read more

This was such a great brunch place. A very popular scene for the college crowd. Can't go wrong with any kind of omelet. If its on a weekend, be prepared to wait for a while. read more

East Egg by WMU is a great spot to grab breakfast!! The Good: *The food is good and comes out quick! *Service is good and comes with a smile. (Unless your server is hungover) *Endless coffee refills *Try the freezer jam!! The needs improvement: *My coffee cup had dry coffee spots on the side and there wasn't enough time for the coffee to dry from the time my server poured and brought me my coffee. Overall: We'll be back because the food is delicious! A solid 4 stars. read more

East Egg - The Big One - 3 eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and toast - $10 - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Jacob and I stopped in for hangover cure/breakfast on a Sunday. It's a smallish place so we were lucky to avoid a wait. The server was really friendly and personable. We got our order in pretty quickly and it was up within fifteen minutes, even though the place was packed by then. The biscuits and gravy were excellent, and the generic egg/hashbrown/bacon/toast breakfast was served exactly as requested. The waitress kept up on Jacob's coffee, too. Prices were decent; I think our bill was around $13. I'll keep this diner in mind next time I'm in Kzoo! read more

The lacking stars have nor reflection on the service or food quality, top notch like I have come to expect from East Egg Nothing like a delicious omelet to start the day. Food was good, coffee was a touch weaker than usual, and service was fast. A groan of this visit is the lack of options when it comes to ordering food. On a low carb diet, so I ask for just the omelet, as did my partner, informing the waitress of such so we do not want or need the toast or hashbrowns. Just the omelets and coffee. Just a cheese omelet, a 3 item omelet, and two coffees. Just does not feel like $22.68 worth of food. We were charged full meal prices for less than half the meal delivered. Other establishments just charge us à le cart when we order a single item. I certainly did not enjoy an $8.75 solo omelet that did not fully fill half of my plate and will not be looking at East Egg as a diet friendly establishment even though they have everything already in place to be an Atkins or Keto friendly restaurant. read more

Me and my girlfriend come back here time and time again for the great food at a good price and the amazing staff! We've had the same staff wait on us for a couple years now and they are always so cheerful and make it a great start to your day. If you're looking for good breakfast and good people this is the place to go. read more

Friendliest staff in town, fantastic food, great prices, and quick service. Could not recommend more, this is my favorite breakfast spot in town! read more

Bad experience! Went here for Mother's Day breakfast. Food sat in window for at least 10 minutes. When we were served, it was cold. Manager came over, she literally stood there with her mouth hanging open. Didn't say anything when we told her we weren't happy with the cold meal. Our food wasn't eaten. We weren't looking for a free meal, just a meal we could eat. We did get the bill in a timely manner-nothing taken off, no "I'm sorry" nothing WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING . read more

it was my first time coming here and i will be back!! the owner works the floor, and the other owner is the cook!! our server Tammy made sure we were happy and she was amazing and kept conversation. super cute and fun atmosphere. i got the cinnamon roll pancakes and OMGGG so delish, it was like a real cinnamon roll. the prices aren't super expensive, each thing was around 8-9 dollars!! read more

First time ever being here. And I have to say I wish I would have came in a long time ago. Because I love it already. It's currently not that busy so I got my food in very short time: 6.17min (yes I timed it) I had 2 over easy eggs, has browns, bacon, and wheat toast. It I was some of the best breakfast that I've had in a long time. The atmosphere of the place is pretty good. Has a mom pop kinda vibe. Decor appears homemade. Which I personally like. Being that this place is right outside campus. And on my way to campus it appears I will be spending more breakfast/brunches here. The stag is quick and polite by far. Being that it's a small place may be a helpful factor in this, but non the less they are efficient at their jobs. I recommend the place to anybody wanting a place near campus to get some breakfast. read more

East Egg - My quick breakfast (I started eating before the photo) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kalamazoo, Michigan

Great little place, no long wait on a Sunday morning. Portions were not huge but I still had to go box. More of a diner atmosphere, so if you're looking for fancy this isn't your place. $$ on the higher side for breakfast. I got biscuits and gravy and it wasn't sausage gravy just white gravy. It tasted good just not thick sausage gravy like I love. Not a bad option. read more

I went here with two of my friends and the service was great! The food was amazing and I loved the atmosphere! Great stop for breakfast, brunch, or lunch! read more

We stopped at East Egg to refuel before making our way from Kalamazoo to the lake. It's your pretty standard breakfast place--perfect, I imagine, for the morning after a late night. The server was really friendly and efficient and the food came out super quickly, but not so fast that I thought the food had been sitting around too long. The food was good and the prices were reasonable. Also, it's a small thing, but I love that the tables have cream, hot sauce, all the various sugars, etc. already stocked so you don't have to ask. All in all, a good spot for your basic breakfast! read more

After a night of partying, what's better in the morning than some heavy breakfast food? Nothing. East Egg definitely delivered. We split an order of biscuits and gravy along with your typical meat, egg, and potato plate. Everything was served up nice and fresh, and it all tasted great. The B&G were especially good! Our waitress was very personable and attentive, despite the place being at capacity. 5 stars for her! Prices on basic breakfasts were a little steep, but maybe that's just how it is in Kalamazoo (we're from the Detroit suburbs). It wouldn't keep me from returning though. read more

This used to a staple breakfast place for us when we used to live around the corner. My husband likes this place since he gets food for his bucks. Me, on the other hand, cannot wrap my head around the menu. I mean, don't get me wrong, they sure do have good food. If only I liked this kind of breakfast , i'd be in love with it. My fave breakfast to go from this place is toast and coffee. read more

This was our first time trying East Egg. It was delicious, our kiddo loved the chocolate chip pancakes. The kids meal also comes with a hot chocolate topped with whipped cream and sprinkles. He was in heaven. The service was great. Our coffee was always full! We will definitely return. read more

My first time, went with my sister in law, a frequent guest. Enjoyed it - coffee was good. Our server, Will, was excellent. I will return - for the bacon florentine eggs benedict..:) read more

Honestly East Egg is subpar at best. They're food isn't even that good and I would consider it cheap. I ordered an omelet and gluten free pancakes. The two pancakes were about the size of an orange and it didn't taste very good. I wouldn't go back here -- there are plenty of other good breakfast places in the area read more

Hit or miss. Sometimes the food is solid and perfect. Sometimes takeout portions get really skimpy. The freezer jam is amazing! Make sure you get it with your toast! read more

I've visited this location and the Kalamazoo location and had the same wonderful experience. My sister goes to WMU and lives in Portage so getting East Egg for breakfast was an easy decision. The first time we went my sister got the East Egg Special (her favorite) and I decided to try the Classic Ham Benedict. My sister always loves her breakfast (it's scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, and hash browns topped on their delicious biscuits and covered in their yummy gravy) and I absolutely LOVED their Benedict. The English muffins were toasty, the ham was thick and salty (in a good way) and the eggs were poached to perfection. And of course the hollandaise was PERFECT, so much flavor which I feel can be hard to master. My sister also got toast with their homemade strawberry jam which was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I know I'm using a lot of capital letters, but this jam is divine. Strawberry is my favorite, but they also make blackberry and raspberry. I could (and did) eat it by itself with a spoon. The staff at East Egg is phenomenal too. Sadly my sister moves out of Portage this week, but I hope I can make it to East Egg again in the near future! read more

My go-to breakfast restaurant - the food is always good, inexpensive, and I never have to wait in a line. Friendly staff, good service and they always offer to send me off with a coffee to-go, and though I never take it, I appreciate the offer! Artichoke and tomato benedict is my fav, and if you like sweet, make sure to get the assorted donut holes on the side. read more
