Caught just before the temp closure on New Year's day. Warm reception and prompt seating, nice variety of breakfast dishes on the menu to satisfy most cravings. Crabcake Benedict is yummy, real chunks of crab meat under perfectly poached eggs. Or Lox if so preferred. Love the berry substitute! Fresh coffee, nice and friendly service. A must try when in Lewes MD!! read more

Eggcellent - Crabcake Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

Came here with my friend for brunch the other day. I ordered the crab Benedict which looked amazing when it came out. I was disappointed that it was just a few pieces of crab meat in the Benedict instead of a crab cake. The mimosa I got was pretty good. Overall I thought my meal was mediocre compared to the other beach brunch spots. I wasn't too impressed. I also was annoyed the waiter was trying to rush us to finish but I get it it's a small restaurant where tons of people are waiting. He could have said something to the fact but just simply placed the bill in front of us and tried to take my friends plate away before she could scrape her leftovers into the box. My friend did really enjoy her Avocado toast! read more

This wonderful place is just a few steps from the dogfish inn, we are so happy we stopped by and had a delicious meal. We arrived just after opening and were quickly seated. It's Very nice and clean inside with nice big windows to let plenty of light in. We ordered the crab Benedict which was super delicious, loaded with huge lumps of crab and a perfectly cooked egg that just melts as you cut into it. Soooooo good, we also ordered the French toast was also a great choice. Loaded with fresh fruit and huge portions of French toast. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

A perfectly simple and delicious breakfast. Friendly attentive staff. Super clean and bright inside. We will be back again and again.

We stayed close to eggcellent and had breakfast there twice. This is a very nice breakfast place. The coffee was not the best but the food was very good and so waster service, There is indoor, outdoor and covered outdoor seating. read more

Great seasonal items and a real breakfast treat! Fresh squeezed juice and love their coffee too!

Another quaint spot in Lewes. Service was impeccable and the menu is quite extensive for bfast or lunch. It was hard to decide! I went with the omelette. It was ok nothing spectacular. Bonus points for being pet friendly. read more

Eggcellent - New Yorker omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lewes, Delaware

This wasn't our favorite spot. After an 80 minute ferry ride we decided to explore the downtown Lewes area. There are a lot of quaint shops a few restaurants and overall a cool vibe. The restaurant had only a small wait time. This is why we chose it. We also were dining outdoors. We brought our dog with us so we had limited options. They have a very limited menu but we were able to find some brunch options. You can also order breakfast or lunch. The food felt very generic. The portion sizes were good however the flavors and taste just weren't there neither was the temperature everything was served Luke warm to cold. One of us ordered the bananas Foster French toast which was covered in a creamy sauce is very buttery Overall it was just OK underwhelming it could've definitely use the less of the sauce. The other one ordered the grilled chicken Greek sandwich. It had wilted spinach black olives fresh from a can and overall a chicken breast butterflied opened, dry and unflavored. The spinach made the bun wet that wasn't the biggest turn off nothing worse than soggy bread. Interestingly enough the table adjacent to us was commenting on their breakfast and they only ordered eggs and toast and they also said it was underwhelming. Fairly interesting since it was only eggs. I probably won't revisit the spot. 43.00 all in with gratuity it's what's expected in a small resort town, fairly on par with competitors . read more

Lovely brunch spot on a small side street directly across from Mary Vessels Park. If you just need a table for two, sit out front where you can people watch on the shaded covered sidewalk. Had the New Yorker omelet today, which was eggcellent! Previously had the Elvis French toast on another visit, also very good. read more

My boyfriend and I stayed in Lewes Delaware a few weeks ago on vacation. We chose to stop at eggcellent because the reviews were really promising. They had limited inside seating, but a decent amount of outdoor seating. We ordered the morning margaritas which were really great. The orange juice in the drink tasted really fresh, and I love a salted rim. We then ordered the crab Benedict and the breakfast burrito. The crab Benedict had very fresh crab on top, but I would say it wasn't very flavorful overall. The breakfast burrito had a ton of avocado on it, and the potatoes it came with were decent, but the burrito was kind of bland. I don't believe there were any sauces on it (just egg, cheese, bacon, and avocado) so it was kind of dry. Overall the food was decent and the ambiance was cute. read more

Cozy ambience, diverse menu and Good food. Tucked away on a side street and easy to access.

Great ambiance and cozy feel in the cafe. I enjoyed a wonderful crab and avocado toast with a cafe con leche. It was delicious with a heaping mound of fresh, sweet lump backfin crabmeat. The coffee was a bit sweet to my liking. Everyone else in our party enjoyed their meals. Will definitely be back! read more

Dishes are big... so go hungry. Service is good. Ambiance is nice, if you can sit outside. Only negative... no cappuccinos just regular coffee. read more

The service wasn't the best when we went during the week, maybe because it was so slow- they had so many ppl working! It was almost like a burden to have us dine- no water served, had to ask for utensils. They have 2 coffee options, cafe con leche and black coffee, with creamer at the table. Coffee was burnt tasting and served in glass mugs (not the best considering it is a hot liquid). Decent food selection. read more

Looked like it could have been good food but I wouldn't know because I left after sitting down and talking to the waiter. They don't like substitutes. I don't like tomatoes. So in order to swap it out with another vegetable I do like I'd have to pay $1.50 extra. Seemed kind of ridiculous with the prices you're already paying there. I went someplace else that was much easier to order from. read more

First time here. Food is outstanding. Worth the wait. Had the Berry French toast, added some eggs and scrapple and was delish. Very nice outdoors sitting. read more

Wish I had tried this place sooner while I was visiting. Service was friendly, responsive and attentive. The restaurant is roomier than it looks from the front. It has a back patio along with a couple tables out in front. Public parking lot is front of the restaurant. Indoor ambience is casual and relaxed. Loved my Lox Omelet. Chunks of smoked salmon, onions, tomato, and capers, while topped with chunks of cream cheese. Pretty tasty and priced $12.99 was quite reasonable. Comes with a side of hash browns and your choice of toast. Definitely will come back here next time I am visiting Lewes. read more

Good food and service. Ambiance for lunch is quiet and it is well located. Dishes were above average and fresh.

Good food, pretty decor, good staff and a great location. The only problem is the name which implies it's primarily a breakfast place. We had lunch and it was very good. The french fries were outstanding! If you like Honeys or Nectar, you'll enjoy Eggcellent, for more than just eggs. read more

Went for a late breakfast around 10:30. Sat us on the patio right next to a heater. It was freezing out so that was awesome. Food was outstanding as was the service. Very attentive waiter. Hot chocolate was awesome. Overall would definitely return. read more

Really enjoyed our time here! It is a smaller space so I get the comments about going with smaller parties, however, we had a party of 6 which included two children. The staff was VERY accommodating and so helpful. This is a hidden gem, tucked a bit off the path but so happy we found it. The food was great, and everything seemed fresh but by far, the staff and attentiveness is what really won me over. So happy to have found this spot - we will be back! read more

This place is tucked away in Lewes, Waze app directed me about a couple blocks away. Just know there IS a small parking lot right next to the restaurant if you can find it lol. The walk isn't bad either way plus you get to see other shops Lewes has to offer. Ample seating both inside and out wasn't a lot of ppl but then again it was like a Weds morning. I sat on the patio, got a little breezy and they had some heaters that helped a lot. The food is more like diner grade food. Nothing super fancy but it did satisfy my brunch hunger. That French toast is a must try. I'm particular about my potatoes and theirs was kind of ehh. I'm noticing many 5 star reviews and "best breakfast in Lewes" sadly they must not have had a good breakfast/brunch to really know. The food is honestly mediocre. There are a handful of better brunch spots in DE I don't think the beach area is the best place to find them though in case you are specifically seeking such cuisine. service was good but took a little while for food, overall it was OK. read more

Went for breakfast and had an excellent eggs Benedict with a side of ripe berries. Was delicious but a bit on the pricey side - probably due to the rising cost of eggs. Service was excellent. read more

I longed for a break from the winter doldrums of dreary Baltimore, so I took a solo road trip to Rehoboth. Yelp helped a brother out with a tip to check out Eggcellent, located in Lewes, DE, a quaint town not far from Rehoboth. The name of this place tells you all you want to know. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was certainly worth writing home about. I had the avocado toast, which was not your typical green-slathered bread - chickpeas, eggs, pico de gallo and an order of smoke salmon finished it off. Not only did I devour that, I had the Eggcellent omelette and a side of fries. Pure greed! My only complaint is that I was too full to try another of the other dishes. read more

What an amazing little place! It was very busy on a Sunday morning, which is completely understandable when you find out how good their food is. I got the crab omelette and let me just say: wow! Super flavorful. Their fresh squeezed OJ was also amazing. I can't wait to go back! read more

Average food. Average service. Not a fan of the coffee. On the plus side, there is parking.

Went here on a suggestion from a few locals and it did not disappoint! The price matches the amount of food you get. The café con leche is amazing with their whipped cream, which has a similar texture to ice cream. For how busy they were, the service was great and our breakfast came out fast. 10/10 recommend. 4/5 stars only because the seating is very close together and could hear every conversation going on around us. read more

had a good sandwich! didn't skimp out on the eggs and had gluten free toast, which is always appreciated. however they charged us for refills of just regular coffee (not a nice latte or anything) which i haven't experienced at a breakfast place before...... so u might be charged $20 for coffee.... read more

The food was amazing and the service was even better ! Would definitely recommend getting there early it gets busy !

One of my new favorite breakfast places! Amazing: French toast, fresh squeezed orange juice (best I've ever had), bacon, and fruit bowl (very fresh, good variety, large in size). The crab soup is also wonderful. It is fresh but not too heavy with cream or overpowering. The french fries are crispy. Unfortunately, we did not love the two lunch options we've had. The steak quesadilla and cheesesteak wrap were both bland, under seasoned, and just average. I'm from Philadelphia, tomatoes and lettuce do not belong in a cheesesteak but maybe that's personal opinion. Despite lunch, I will definitely be back for breakfast and highly recommend you try it. Staff is excellent and they follow all COVID protocols. read more

This place is Amazing! Cute little quaint restaurant. Breakfast all the way till 3pm which is fantastic. My friend and I were originally going to just get omelettes but we keep seeing this incredible French toast being served. So, we ordered the New Yorker omelette and the summer berry French toast and split the platters. I'm glad we did! The French toast was perfectly sweet cinnamon toasty but soft with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Omelette was big and packed with fresh ingredients. Will definitely be back again. read more

This ain't Bob Evans $2.99 breakfast. Overall the breakfast is very good, but it is very expensive. The first time we visited breakfast for two came in around $50+ (omelettes meat juice coffee). Next time we got your basic 2 egg toast potatoes and coffee. That came in around $28 for 2. You pay a premium but you will receive good food and service read more
