Everything we ordered was delicious and service was superb. Would definitely come back.

So many breakfast options! The breakfast sandwich was quite good and my husband enjoyed his eggs Benedict.

Food wasn't bad. I had the Veggie Delight Omelette. It came with potatoes. Not the best or worst I've had. My fiance had the Berry Frenchtoast. I thought it was just ok, too. Probably will not be back, but the waitress was very nice. read more

Eggcellent Cafe - Cute interior - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is a cute brunch place right on Chestnut street close to Front st. I went here with my daughter around 11am on a Friday and it was pretty busy. They had about 3 empty tables, but it took the server well over 5 minutes for us to get seated. There was only one server still getting the order from 2 tables so I understood with staff shortages they were doing what they can do. However, it would have been nice just to be acknowledged that they see us and they will get to us soon. During this waiting process one of the customer ahead of us left because of the wait. Once we got seated everything went smoothly. I ordered their eggzilla, and rose oolong tea, and my daughter ordered Philly Benny. The food came out relatively fast, and the service was attentive. My order was supposed to come with avocado, but didn't (no big deal in the end, but kind of sad). Aside from this mishap the food was very good, flavourful, and plenty. I really loved how they cooked up their potatoes - really crispy exterior, but moist interior. My daughter also enjoyed her dish, Philly Benny; it was filled with thinly shaved beef, poached eggs over brioche buns with hollandaise sauce. I would like to come back here and try their other dishes. read more

The food is simply DEE-LISH-USSSSS!!! The staff is friendly and spot on when it comes to questions that need to be answered, refills of beverages, or dishes removed! The atmosphere is great, busy enough for breakfast but quiet enough just to drink java and talk with a friend! read more

Really cute brunch place that specializes in eggs. I love the yellow door in front as it's bright and cheery. I wasn't feeling too hungry and I'm also not a huge spice person until the morning so I wanted something light enough but provide enough energy for a later lunch. Decided to get the De Olde Omelette as there wasn't any jalapeños listed on the menu. Menu was also accessed via QR code though I did see some physical menus also. Food came in and it looked really good. I liked that they didn't overwhelm the play with potatoes as that's usually a tactic to get the customer full. The omelet was good but it had jalapeños in it which I did not want or expect. I don't know if this was in error or if it originally had jalapeños and it just wasn't listed in the menu but it's not okay. Service was pretty fast. They refilled my waters and took my order fairly quickly. Floors were kind of slippery (not sure if they waxed their floor recently?) and food came out quickly too. To pay, they come to your table and you pay with a credit card. Important question -- would I come back? And the answer is yes I could come back to try the other dishes but I would want to make sure I knew everything that was going on my plate. read more

Our first time visiting this establishment and we were pleasantly impressed! It's a small place but we went on a Wednesday morning and were able to get seated right away! The menu is amazing! We decided on a skillet option, an omelette (jalapeños on the side) and a side of French Toast! Everything was delicious! The French Toast was absolutely amazing...think I'll order that as my main dish next time Our waiter was also amazing! He was extremely helpful and friendly! We absolutely love this spot and will definitely be returning! read more

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!

Wow, to think you find an affordable yet cute little cafe, with good coffee for less in olde city nonetheless. Come check this place out! Mom pop type breakfast brunch, has a list of vegetarian and meat lover friendly dishes to choose from. Their drip coffee is pretty good too! We got a couple of simple omelette and pancake orders, they were made really well and came out super fast! Comfortable bench and chair like seatings for 4. Not a big place, more like someone's living room, but with awesome lighting! read more

I have to say this...the Eggcellent Cafe is actually quite...eggcellent ;) Okay now that the irresistible pun is out of the way, I actually did have a great experience here. This place is BUSY, so be prepared for a wait during popular hours. A friend and I were able to snag 2 seats at this little counter at the very front of the restaurant that was very well decorated. The food here is not only good, but also very reasonably priced. I ordered the deconstructed lox (lox, arugula salad, tomato, cream cheese, bagel, $13) and my friend got the Eggsplicit (egg, bacon, tomato, avocado, cream cheese on a bagel, $11). They gave me a decent amount of lox and the arugula salad they paired it with was light and refreshing. read more

Despite the restaurant being full to the point of having a short wait to be seated, the food came extremely quickly. The Mexi Hash tasted very fresh with each of the numerous vegetables, the applewood smoked bacon and the eggs being prominent to just the right extent. Can't wait to have this dish again, but also can't wait to try other items on the menu! read more

I work for a company that likes to feed us. On the most recent occasion we got breakfast items. You could choose bacon, sausage or egg burritos or a chorizo taco of which there were few. When I selected the taco I was told I was lucky. Really??? I thought. It's just sausage , what could possibly be a big deal. Well I was lucky and it was a big deal. So much so that I had to ask my boss where on earth did it come from and he replied with a smile, "The Eggcelent Cafe". These tacos of well seasoned fried chorizo, soft and fluffy scrambled eggs, a splathering of chichuahua cheese, pico de gallo and a killer cilantro lime crema aioli we're so delicious they stayed on my mind for days afterwards. The first chance I got I sprang right up to their doorstep and very greedily placed two orders of the same tacos, one for now and one for later. Looking over the menu I could easily see other items I would definitely be ordering in the future. While I waited I took in the decor which was really nice and inviting. They have a variety of tables tables, a two person counter area facing the front window and even a sunny little nook next to the entrance that makes for a lovely chill spot. I can not wait to go back for more. read more

We got here early-ish (~8:30) on a Saturday and luckily just beat the rush! The service was quick and the food was pretty good. The French toast was my favorite thing (we just ordered a single slice). Not all of the cheese in the omelet was melted and the potatoes were a little more firm than I like, but everything tasted good! read more

Didn't love it. My breakfast sandwich was tasty, the Eggspanola, but messy. The best part of the egg is the yolk, but whether biting or cutting into this sandwich, the yolk sprayed out, creating a big mess, and I struggled to get someone's attention to get me napkins to clean it up myself. Service was lackluster. I don't mind an online menu with a QR code, but it doesn't work well with a long menu of similar items. Paper is still the best way to compare the Eggceptional (with pork sausage) to the Jerzy Roll (with spicy pork roll). The server never checked in with me, and they charge for refills of drip coffee. Then again, maybe the baby boomers are the last generation to expect free refills of anything, and we're dying out like the last of the Eggiesauruses. read more

Yes yes yes. Small place but worth any wait. Damn my avocado toast. Hash brown. Pancake And chicken were worth it. I can't wait to go back and try more things like the burrito. Just simple, clean but favorable and super tasty. I didn't feel bloated or gross after and the prices were very fair considering the egg issue now a days. I wish I took a picture but I just jump right into the goodness. Hit them up!!! read more

The service is quick, the ambiance is lovely. The food however is too greasy and varies between excessively salty and straight up bland? Maybe that's why they have the condiments and spices at each table. This was my second time trying them for brunch and I honestly don't think I'll return. read more

Food - 4/5 the food was tasty and didnt take long once seated. I got the mexi hash and it was good! It comes on a bed of arugula. The bacon is great. Service - 2.5/5 there was an altercation between a waitress and customer while we were there, it included yelling and slamming on the table. We appreciate the owner coming to address the incident with customers and apologize for the disturbance. Overall the service was OK, not very attentive and didn't come back to checkin. They add a 20% gratuity already. Ambiance 3/5 - LOUD! Loud noise and loud talking. Not my preference for brunch with others. The wait was about 30 min. The interior is also pretty small and compact. read more

Visited Eggcellent Cafe during a weekday lunch and we were seated immediately. Our waitstaff was attentive and friendly. We ordered the eggceptional and breakfast burrito. The eggceptional was the perfect brunch sandwich/burger with a lil kick to it. I highly recommend getting this! My friend really enjoyed her breakfast burrito as well. The portion size was pretty big since we had to take half of our food to go. Overall a cute little cafe in old city and such a great brunch spot! read more

Eggcellent cafe was really good. The service was prompt and polite. The restaurant is quaint, colorful and nice. I got the citron Yuzu tea which was definitely the concentrate with hot water poured over. Still pretty good. The breakfast burrito was flavorful and delicious. I added turkey bacon to it. Nothing super spectacular. The outside had a nice crunch and the flavors blend well. I picked some of the egg out to see if it was special in any way, it was just egg lol. It comes with this little sauce on top and the side that was slightly spicy and flavorful. I really enjoyed this and the portion is huge. Definitely worth a stop. read more

This place had absolutely amazing food. my friend and I both had the eggsplicit breakfast sammie and it was 100% worth the $12. Which was a steal compared to other places we looked at brunch menus. The place is small, and extremely busy. Only downfall was the service had a little left to be desired. We had to wave over the servers several times to remind them we still needed to order or still waiting on our lattes (amazing btw - both the beet root and London fog were amazing). But we understood the place was packed. I think when a place has servers that share all the tables, it creates a bit of confusion on who has helped who. That'd be my only qualm. Otherwise 5/5, but because of that, 4/5. Will definitely go back. read more

Lovely cafe, very nice aesthetics. The food was delicious I just wish the home fries were served hot (they were more room temperature) Drinks were good. The waiter was so pleasant.

This restaurant is definitely appropriately named, as it was excellent. Service was prompt and friendly, food was Eggcellent and location is wonderful. I ordered an breakfast egg sandwich and it was delectable, came equipped with pesto and I loved every bite. The vanilla latte and side order of fruit were the perfect complement to the meal. My kids shared the French toast, and my daughter said it was the best she ever had. Kudos to the whole team for a great experience! read more
