    Self serve drink station.
    Trish S.

    Delicious sandwich. We ate for brunch and it was more than enough. We probably could have shared the sandwich, especially since we also bought the tater tots. The restaurant was clean and efficient. There are 2 kiosks to take your order and a self serve drink station. Decor was inviting and a very spacious restaurant.

    Cute decor and decent tasting chicken! Unfortunately this location smelled mega funky in every area- near the register, dining area, and bathroom. I understand they make eggs all day, but I've gone to several chicken/egg sandwich places and it never smelled like this. I also ordered a sparkling water that I purchased for its size and close-able lid, but when they gave it to me, it was not the same brand as the menu photo, way smaller, and not close-able. The staff was really talkative and nice though. Would go back again for takeout only.

    I walked in and there was no one to greet any patrons. There are just 2 kiosks. A sign that said that one kiosk is the breakfast menu and the other is the lunch menu would have been helpful. The area to eat was so plain with no decorating. I was really disappointed in the ambience. I choose breakfast. It was a poached egg over a potato puree. It was a good but not good enough to return . I would not recommend this place if you are looking for an inviting ambiance.

    Hawaiian morning

    I finally tried Egghead, and I ordered the Hawaiian morning sandwich. This sandwich has spam, egg, and arugula. The Hawaiian morning sandwich was really good. I really enjoyed the spam, onions, and arugula. The bun was super fresh and soft. There are plenty of tables inside for customers to enjoy their meal. Overall, I'd recommend Egghead Sando.

    Big sandwiches! We got The Scramble and The Chic. Th Scramble is very creamy and soft. It's easy to scarf it down. There's a slight spice along with a caramelized sweetness from the onion. The Chic is like someone took popcorn chicken and put it in cutlet form. Pretty tasty and also incredibly filling. The brioche buns are made in house and the fluffiness of the buns is the proof. There's also a brioche bun baking station towards the back soo.. just trust your eyes. Service is fast and the food came out within 10. Overall I really enjoyed coming here and would come back whenever I'm craving a sandwich.

    If you are an egg sandwich lover, you have to check this place out. I stopped by Egghead Sando Cafe and it did not disappoint. I ordered The Ultimate Egg Sando. The eggs were fluffy, the ingredients were fresh, and the bread was the perfect texture to hold it all together. I paired my sando with their Matcha, and it was the perfect balance. It wasn't overly sweet, that great earthy matcha flavor that helped wash down the sandwich perfectly. The cafe has a great vibe and the service was quick. It's a solid spot for a high-quality breakfast or brunch. However, it was a bit pricey for an egg sandwich...

    Saw this place near the 24 Hour Fitness and popped my head in to check it out. They have chicken sandwiches as well as hamburgers. Interestingly enough they have 2 kiosks, 1 where you purchase the chicken and another where you purchase the burgers. I decided to get a chicken sandwich and my wife decided on a lettuce burger. The chicken sandwich side has tater tots and the burger side has waffle fries. The food took a little while and when I got my chicken sandwich, I noticed that the chicken was thigh meat. I had assumed that it would be breast meat. So I took the sandwich back and asked if I could get breast meat instead and they told me I could have chicken strips. The strips were fried where the sandwich I had purchased was grilled, but I was fine with the substitution. I got the new sandwich and the chicken strips were pretty huge. They were crispy, juicy and had a hint of sweetness like honey. I liked my sandwich and the wife liked her burger.

    I came in with my friend and her daughter and the place looks nice inside it busy and decided to dine in. They had two kiosks to order from so I went on the other one and it was only for burgers when it was my turn to go on the other kiosk another customer came in and someone took their order at the front. I was curious if they'd bother to take my order while waiting. While waiting for my order the employees brought my friend's order and my ice coffee. While waiting I got a notification my order was ready but waited a few minutes if my order will be delivered to my table. I had to go up to the counter and asked for my order mind you there are 3 other people waiting also. When they helped a customer with an order before me I said my order number and the employee looked confused and the customer behind me said they handed my order to the person that just walked past me and the customer called him back. My order was handed off wrong and they packaged it to go. I was a little upset the employee didn't apologize. When I opened my order I saw they were missing my sauce I was charged extra and asked at the counter. The girl just looked and handed it and not apologized again. I gave three stars for my meal which is good was good but wish my experience at the store was different.

    While in town visiting, we were looking for a place to have breakfast. We decided to go to Egghead Sando Cafe. It was easy to find. There's some construction in the shopping center/parking lot but parking was okay. There is a kiosk to place your order along with a front counter if you prefer a person or have questions. We used the kiosk and ordered The Scramble Sandwich, Waffle Fries & Matcha Cafe Latte. Their system texts you your order # and again when your orders ready. We decided to eat there. There's plenty of seating from tables to booths. They have a small selection of games you can play while visiting. The Scramble Sandwich - This is scrambled egg with chives and onions ( I opted out of both), cheese and a super soft bun! DELISH!!!!! Waffle Fries - A decent size box of seasoned waffle fries. DELISH! Matcha Cafe Latte - An iced coffee with matcha. This was not good at all. It was kinda of griddy, not sweetened at all.

    Egghead is located in a shopping plaza near Kaiser. I'm not a big sandwich/burger person, but the Chic sandwich I got was very good. The cashier was nice. The place also had an ordering machine with pictures and descriptions to give you a better idea of what you're getting. * Chic Sandwich 4.5/5 - The portion was pretty big and I like the double proteins of chicken and egg. The fried chicken was moist, though a bit plain. The tastiest part was actually the breading. It's weird to say, but the breading was very crispy, flavorful, with a bit of a spicy kick. I was surprised that I liked it more than the chicken. The bottom of the egg was a little rubbery, but the yolk was nice and soft, truly over medium. The brioche bun was my least favorite part. It was crispy, but a bit burnt and dense, not fluffy.

    For some odd reason, I'm unsure if it's the timing but every time I come here it is almost always empty. The service is decent, the workers are nice and friendly, not overtly but just the right amount I'd say. I think the food is amazing but if I had one critique it would be that it is a tad bit on the saltier side when I sometimes wish it would be less salty to let the flavors speak for themselves. I've had a few of the breakfast sandwiches before, the arugula salad, and the potato puree and poached egg with dipping toast. I think everything that I've tried from the menu has been really delicious and definitely worth a try. The drinks are also amazing, I think my favorite so far has got to be the mint snap, it's just an oddly amazing pairing of flavors that I didn't expect to like as much. The arugula salad was nice because I feel like I don't often see arugula on many menus so it was refreshing, and amazing paired with the cheese and bacon. However, I do feel like most of the food on the menu is more on the heavier side with the grease and sodium level so they kinda leave me feeling very full but satisfied. Overall, I like revisiting this place every once in a while as a nice little breakfast sandwich place.

    Eggy and Coffee

    I am in town visiting my brothers for the holidays - going from dry, unseasonably warm Colorado to torrential rain in San Jose for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. With the pitifully old infrastructure the rain caused the power to go out sometime early on Christmas morning, so we were faced with having cold cereal or going out for breakfast. Thus, when my older brother suggested going to Egghead Sando I readily agreed. So the first disappointment was to find that these were not Japanese breakfast sandwiches - which I took to be implied by "Sando" but my brother speculates is just a trendy term for sandwich around here? Whyyyy? The next shock was how expensive it was ... The guy at the counter who asked if we had ever been in immediately mentioned that the Burger Lab menu was less expensive so clearly they know that their breakfast menu is overpriced, but I just wasn't feeling a burger for breakfast. We ended up spending about $50 for 2 entrees, a shared side, and 2 regular coffees. Granted, I live in a much lower cost-of-living area, but that seemed like a lot for a fast casual breakfast. The saving grace is that I really did enjoy my breakfast. I got the Eggy, which is not a sandwich but rather a soft poached egg served over puréed potatoes and bits of bacon in a mason jar with a few toasted baguette slices on the side. It sounded a bit weird, but the potatoes were loose enough to make mixing it all up a satisfying dip for the bread. I don't think I will ever be back, but this might be something I'd try to recreate in my own kitchen.

    Always great, fast and delicious. They have the best breakfast sandos anywhere and they make them quick as can be. Tap the screen to order and three minutes later, you got a Sando. I got the breakfast burger this morning and it hit the spot. Great place for morning breakfast for the office.

They are pre-made and stored in a glass case, unlike other places like Modo Hawaii that make them when you order. The donuts come in a nice box. They are large and dense and chewy, but weren't to my taste as I like them smaller and lighter, but that's just a personal preference. I'm not sure if I will go back, but I hope they do well at the Cottle location.

It is deliciously worth the wait. Best banana cold foam in my opinion because it's made with actual bananas instead of flavoring so it's much more mellow. The double matcha they had for awhile is also awesome. Banana cold foam also goes great on an espresso latte. Now they let you add whichever cold foam you like to whatever drink which is great.
