    Interior-- good seating available for small and large groups.

    Had an impromptu morning breakfast with friends here early on a Monday morning. As expected, crowds were little to none, and was mostly the group of cops enjoying their morning shift breakfast. This is my second time here in the past few years. Table services was great. Ordering was fast once all of us arrived, and we got our food shortly afterwards. Food is pretty delicious, and there's a good variety on the menu. I was so ready to start eating that I forgot to snap a picture, but our table ordered a Mexi Hash, Iron Hash, and the Eggsplosion Burger. Overall, food is delicious. I think the portion size to price ratio is a bit wanting, especially if you're just looking for a simple breakfast, but it does seem more reasonably priced for brunch if that's what your coming here for. Ambience is great-- a bit small, but I love the brightly colored walls. Definitely helps with waking up. Heads up that parking is a bit tight, but if you're coming anywhere into Old City you should just expect that at this point, and it's of no fault to the business.

    The service was amazing, such kind and friendly staff even though they were so busy. I also loved the ambiance - very warm, welcoming, comfortable, and upbeat. The food was great with big portions and good flavor! The prices are also AMAZING!!! Definitely will be a go to for us

    Skillet scramble with rib eye, waffles!

    The food was amazing! The right amount of meats to vegetable and cheese combo. Not loaded up with potatoes, the waffles are fantastic! The service was friendly. There was a bit of a wait but you sign in on tablet to join the queue. Worth the wait! Not overly noisy.

    We walked into Eggcellent cafe without a reservation on a Sunday morning and it was packed! We had to sign in using a kiosk to be added to the waiting list. It is much smaller inside than anticipated. After about a 12 minute wait we were seated at two seats at the window looking out to passers by. I ordered a cup of coffee ( 2/10) and De Olde Taco-(Shaved Rib Eye, Onion, Chihuahua Cheese, Scrambled Eggs, Spicy Chipotle Ketchup, Pico de Gallo, Cilantro, Scallion on Flour Taco shell, served with Breakfast Potatoes) 9/10.

    They were busy when we went. Put our name on the list and then they texted when the table was ready. The food was delicious. Loved the potatoes and my sandwich, although the aioli on my sandwich was spicier than I expected. The staff were nice but they seemed very frazzled. It almost seemed as if they needed to have 1 more person on staff during their brunch rush... We actually got our food before our drinks, were not offered water when we sat down (and the couple next to us seemed to feel the same) It's a cute space, although there's not really space to wait inside out of the cold for your table.

    Mexi hash skillet was to die for. And the Nutella latte was phenomenal I'm from NY and don't think there are brunches that match the quality and value this place has It is a bit of a wait though; especially for groups of 3 or more (prob 45 min on a weekend, put your name down), but well worth the wait

    My gf brought me here while we were hanging out to celebrate my bday. This place does not take reservations so we walked in, signed in, and were seated within about 15 mins of arriving - this was on a Saturday, summer morning, before 11am. While we waited, we viewed the menu so that we could eat as soon as we were seated. I ordered a Clucker Benny and my friend ordered a small stack of pancakes with a side of cheese and eggs and potatoes. Everything was delightful and was a healthy serving size for both my friend and I. The place is small; service was fairly quick; the prices seemed reasonable although I didn't see the bill. If it's not too crowded, it's definitely worth a short wait... Side note: I don't recall seeing any turkey products on the menu but they do serve chicken (FYI to those who don't eat pork.)

    Good: Super Yum! Portions were GREAT! The Thai Iced Coffee & Mango Smoothie also very good, just very small size. Service: Service was decent, not overly friendly. Ambiance: Cute aesthetic, plenty of seating!

    We were looking for a breakfast spot within walking distance of our hotel in old town. We stumbled upon Eggcellent and it was perfect. Cute spot, great staff and eggcellent food! I had the eggs Benedict with a scrambled egg. It was so yummy and the hollandaise was amazing. If you're in Philly, check out this gem.

    We were excited to try this restaurant after reading the great reviews. The restaurant wasn't crowded which was nice. We ordered coffee and my husband requested half regular and half decaf and we were told they had no way of making half caf coffee which seemed strange. Three of us ordered eggs and one person ordered a pancake. Our food came and we were almost finished eating before the pancake arrived after asking about it twice. In general, the food was good but based on the service, I don't think we would visit again. We saw surrounding tables having similar issues with wrong items served, long delays in getting coffee, etc.

    fantastic brunch spot with asian-inspired flavors! my friends and i came for brunch around 11am on a thursday and were quickly seated. everything here was delicious! i ordered the eggceptional sammie and a side of hashbrowns, which was delicious and flavorful. the hashbrowns were perfectly crispy and paired well with the sammie. i also had the honey suckle latte which was a little too sweet for me, but still a good treat. my friends enjoyed their dishes as well, one of our favorites was the el huevos burritos which was very hefty and filling. service was fast, and there was plenty of seating on a thursday. the cafe had ample natural light and was well-decorated with greenery. overall a great experience!

    Great prices and delicious food. The decor in here is also too cute. Would come back to Philly just to have breakfast here again haha

    My brother and I came here on Memorial Day. We had expected a wait, and we ended up waiting like 45 minutes for our two-top. Service was very slow, but I'm pretty sure it was because it was a holiday and perhaps they were a little understaffed. The staff was super friendly and apologetic for the wait. I ordered a tumeric latte and one of their breakfast sandwiches. It had a hashbrown on it! I thought it was good, but in my opinion it would have been great if I'd added a sauce to it. It was all the things I love (bacon, egg, cheese, soft bread, hashbrown) but felt a little boring regardless. The tumeric latte was cozy and delicious -- the tumeric was strong and I wasn't able to finish it, but it was my first time having a latte like this and I'm just not sure it's the flavor profile for me. My brother enjoyed his skillet but said similarly that it was good, but could have been great with modifications. Overall, I'd come back and definitely recommend this place to friends!

    The food was excellent! We got the Berry Cheesecake French Toast and Jerzy Roll. Jersey Roll was a little spicey but it was very good!
