A delicious wide-variety of breakfast foods that will leave you satisfied and happy. Wait staff are attentive and friendly. Love the Benny's! Restaurant is very busy on weekends, but a warm and inviting atmosphere, which has made it a favourite in Guelph for many years! Reservations are not necessary but definitely suggested to reduce wait time. read more

Fast service and friendly staff Food was good Good vibe Quick wait times and easy to add to online wait list read more

This restaurant has been the cornerstone of the Guelph breakfast scene for decades and I visit this place monthly. The staff are friendly and professional. Excellent at their jobs. The decor is casual and comfortable. The portions are still ample however the quality seems to be in decline over the last few months with our visit yesterday being a low point. My wife ordered her usual, Huevos Rancheros. What came out was a mess consisting of whole stewed tomatoes crammed into a tortilla. Partially cooked whole tomatoes are not enjoyable to eat and this dish was a shadow of its former self a month ago. We spoken with our waitress (whomwas great) had the dish returned to the kitchen and ordered an new replacement. The Arriba. The kitchen hustled to get it out to us which was great however it was bland and poorly executed. We ate what we could and paid our bill. We are going to give this place some time to find its new groove with the new management. Every penny counts these days and my entertainment dollars need to be spent on quality not shortcuts.

Agreed with the latest reviews the food is salty and potatoes under cooked disappointing as this has been my spot for 23 years! The wait staff is always amazing ! Jennie you rock! read more

Enjoyed another Siesta wrap and salad. Very yummy. They open Tuesdays now and we are glad. Good food and great service. Jordan was excellent. read more

We have been coming here for years, being our initial favourite breakfast place. We heard they recently have gone under new ownership and decided to try it out. We ordered our usual, 2 Mexican eggs Benedicts with the crispy potatoes on the side. The potatoes were fairly salty (both my husband and I made the same comment), and I ate half of my Benedict before I noticed a chunk of eggshell at which time I alerted the waitress who took the meal away. I didn't get a replacement & was shocked when we got the bill- they charged me half of the Benedict I ate - unknowingly - with the eggshell. I feel, after many years of our business, this was our last time there as we were truly disappointed at the managers decision to not fully credit my portion. read more

The service at this restaurant is great. unfortunately the quality of the food is no longer there, which is very sad. sometimes the ownership change is a good thing, however it is not the case with this restaurant. read more

Recently ate my usual breakfast at Eggcetera. As others have noted, the quality of the food has gone down considerably. Cheap replacements for most of the foods. The service is great, but the atmosphere has changed as well. What a shame! read more

Been coming here for years and it was our favorite breakfast spot! The menu is ginormous. There is something for everyone. There is a parking lot close by. There is a waitlist online but no reservations which can be tricky on a weekend. They get busy! Weekdays are much more relaxed. Jen is our favorite server! Make sure to ask for crispy potatoes, it's a game changer read more

Since the new owners took over the food has gone downhill fast. I no longer recommend this restaurant. Maybe this will be a wake up call and they look at returning the quality of the food, stop skimping after all we are already paying premium prices. What a shame read more

Great food and reasonable prices. Sometimes you have to wait but worth it. The service is also excellent and quick.

We placed our name on the wait list and was initially told it would be 20-30 minutes until we could be seated. We ended up having to wait a full hour!!! Staff and management could do a better job at moving people along once they have finished eating and have paid their bill. Food was fine but definitely not worth the wait. read more

We regularly are treated to great staff, great breakfast, a comfortable environment and always enjoy it.

Widespread breakfast menu with tasty food, friendly service and reasonably priced. Just be prepared to wait for a table

I have been a frequent customer for the last 14 years. I have enjoyed several items from the menu and it has never been disappointing. There is something for everyone. The quality of the food is always consistent & delicious. The level of service is always friendly & quick. The ambiance is inviting and comfortable. I no longer live in Guelph but still travel from Toronto monthly for a brunch at my favorite place. read more

Have to eat some food, a little expensive, good servers and nice atmosphere. Breakfast lineups can be long.

Great food. Best dishes in town, really. Good for the dollar. Just wish that place was bigger! So busy!

The online wait list service is awesome! Thank you for providing that. Was a bit hard to order food, as it was busy/loud and the waiter stayed at one side of the table while taking orders. Ginormous menu, some vegan options. read more

Amazing food, long lines. Best breakfast in Guelph, but it's no secret, so be prepared to wait.

Excellent Service and food! Can get quite busy during the mornings on the weekend so plan ahead, it is totally worth the wait!

Great service and food. Good selection of food and some healthier options. Everything tasted fresh and the staff were very personable. The restaurant was clean and it was easy to have a conversation with my guest. read more

Fantastic food, great service, always a pleasure. We drop in at least once a month for brunch.

Great staff efficient service the food was great. The staff makes sure that you are seated served and happy.

Very nice breakfast place with stellar staff and great assortment of breakfast choices. I had to have the spicy chorizo bowl and was it ever good. Really enjoyed this location and the company i was with did too. Pricing was very reasonable also. Can easily recommend it read more

Don't know where to start. Oh yes the menu is just huge. When you have a large menu you gotta wonder what service would be like. The answer very slow. Food to about 45 minutes to arrive. As far as tastes goes avoid the home fries. Dry and mushy. read more

Best breakfast spot in Guelph! Usually I don't like a restaurant with a big menu because IMO it's better to master a few great dishes than be mediocre at a lot of dishes BUT I've tried many of the different offerings at Eggcetra (sweet and savory) and they have all been delicious - so really you can't go wrong! My faves are the ham eggs Benedict with the side of potatoes or the cinnamon bun waffle! The service is also great! They do get super busy around breakfast time especially on the weekends but it's worth the wait and they move people through very efficiently! read more

Dined here twice for brunch with my boyfriend and both times it was very busy at 1pm -- highly recommend you use the Yelp app wait list, it saves you a lot of time. The restaurant is clean and bright inside, a nice environment to have a brunch. The first time I went I ordered the smoked salmon eggs benedict and found the fish flavour a bit overpowering for me. The second time I went, I decided to try the asparagus eggs benny instead and loved it way more. The portion is generous and super filling, I barely finish it all. The price is pretty average compared to other diners but you get good value for it. My boyfriend ordered the skillet both times we went- it's quite heavy in protein and potatoes in my opinion but he loves it. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, super quick to greet you and get your order and drinks. Highly recommend this place for a nice brunch/breakfast. read more

Eggcetra - Asparagus Eggs Benny - Delis Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

Absolute favourite place for breakfast in Guelph. My partner is celiac and there are options for her too which is amazing. The only bad thing is the size of the restaurant and length of the waitlist. It's very difficult to get in on a weekend without waiting up to an hour. Otherwise , 12/10!!! read more

Was told 30-40 min wait, still waiting after an hour but they seem to be seating everyone else who has walked in after me?

The staff is amazing, the food is even better and the prices are reasonable. I will always recommend Eggcetra - a Guelph classic.

A busy breakfast speciality restaurant. It's busy for a reason. On par with a Cora's for breakfast selection and quality.

Amazing food! Just love going there on the weekends and worth the wait! Service rocks.

I would say the best breakfast place I have been to. The wait could be long specially on a weekend with a large group of people. However staff are friendly and service ia good. I love the huge amount of choices they have. From wraps, sandwiches, waffles to omelettes, benedicts and classic breakfast. Took us a while to decide what to order. At the end everyone were happy with what we had. I love the home fries and make sure to request to make it extra crispy. Oh wow! my first time to finish all my home fries. I ordered philly steak benedict and love it! Steak pieces were sliced thinly and cooked tender with the right amount of veggies topped on poached eggs which we requested to make it medium so it came out not too runny. A little hollandaise sauce on top makes it taste so good. I would highly recommend this place! read more

Food is always consistently great! Lots of options on the menu. Highly recommend. Get the bacon, it's crisp and generous portion.

Great food, good service and food selection is delicious. Great hot and cold drinks. Great for a breakfast and brunch !!

Not only had to wait an hour to get a table our waitress Jordan was horrible! We had to wait another hour to be served and get our food. Although food was ok, will never be returning or recommending. It was the worst service that I ever experienced. read more

Awesome food and service! Best breakfast place in Guelph. Usually a bit of a wait for a seat, but definitely worth the wait.

Busy. Make reservations on the weekend. Beautiful fresh food and amazing breakfast/brunch spot! Awesome

Very large menu with lots of interesting breakfast food options (in addition to the standard bacon and eggs). Food comes quickly and the staff are pleasant. Note: very busy on weekends and waits can be quite long. read more

Always great service and the food options are second to none. I enjoy also the flexibility to accommodate some of my special requests
