I ordered the Chic Sandwich because the battered chicken looks like Taiwan style chicken but it was not. It came with 2 large pieces, however only 1 piece can fit into the bread. The chicken pieces were very thick and tender but bland except for the red powder sprinkled on top. I felt it needed more sauce and flavor. I also ordered a hot Hojicha Latte which tasted perfect. read more

Egghead Sando Cafe - The Chic Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

I have been sad ever since they closed the Egghead Sando in Cupertino, but since moving to my new place in South San Jose, I was pleasantly surprised to find an Egghead just 5 minutes drive from my house! I got my usual order of The Chic with a Strawberry Matcha Latte. For the uninitiated, The Chic is a good introduction to what Egghead excels in: a massive, battered, dark meat chicken paired with a sunny side up egg, arugula, sauce, and a bouncy brioche bun. The chicken spills out of the bun and is just so juicy. The matcha helps cut through the richness and and is a nice finish to the meal. If you have room, make sure to get the crispy tater tots as well. I can't wait to come back! read more

Egghead Sando Cafe - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

On our way to lunch I saw this place and was curious to try it. I had already checked out the menu before getting here and opted for the scramble sandwich. The cashier was friendly and explained the menu and answered our questions. While we waited we saw the dough for the buns being prepared as well as the fresh buns coming out the oven. The space is very spacious - used to be the old home of mc Donald's. It's all clean and tidy and comfortable for groups. The buns are soft and overall the sandwich is fine. I'm not a huge fan of the way the egg is cooked but that is a personal preference. This is a good spot for a breakfast spot for all the egg lovers. They have all types of combinations for the sandwich. Cool space, variety of options for the sandwich and drinks. Pricey for an egg sandwich. read more

We ordered early this morning before school and when my friend took a bite of her chicken sandwich (The Chic) she noticed it was pink in the middle and not cooked all the way through. Usually I love this place but I wished they would take more precautions to check if their huge pieces of chicken are fully cooked. I hope no one else has had this problem and that extra precautions are added to make sure this doesn't happen again. read more

Not even the biggest breakfast fan but I thoroughly enjoyed everything I got here. The Chic sandwich was ginormous, super crispy, juicy, and well seasoned. My only wish is that the egg on it was runnier. The Ultimate Sando was such a comforting, savory, and rich sandwich with hints of sweetness from the grilled onions and homemade brioche buns. Speaking of buns, the ones here are super soft, buttery, and fluffy! Also tried their waffle fries and I'm not kidding when I say these were the crispiest waffle fries I've ever had. The Pink Dream was a nice refreshing drink to wash down the food; a good blend of smooth whole milk and fresh strawberry purée. Friendly workers that were fairly quick to make our orders. Took around 5 minutes when it wasn't busy. The interior was nice and clean. Beware of the funky smell in the restroom though! Prices here are a bit steep for a sandwich, but incredibly filling and large-portioned. In my opinion, worth it! read more

Delicious! My SO has been mentioning this place several times and he brought me to try it on a workday for lunch. I got the fried chicken sandwich and he got the egg sando with a matcha and mmm the food is quite crispy, perfectly flavored and tastes fresh. The Match was packed of so much matcha powder that I felt wired after a sip. The sandos came out propped in a small box. My main suggestion would be for them to provide a plate or something that would make it a bit more comfortable and cleaner to eat the food since the boxes are quite small. There was a short queue the entire time we were there and it goes by quickly but it is worth it to try! read more

I am a sucker for breakfast sandwiches! And I have to say this sandwich was so delicious. I really enjoyed the spicy mayo sauce, that really made it for me. Wish the bun was a bit toastier but that might just be a preference thing. As for the matcha cafe latte, it wasn't bad but it also wasn't good. I kept trying to like it but I think it's too strong. I'll have to try their other drinks to give them a better chance. Overall great spot for a quick breakfast, our food came out in a timely manner! I admire the interior design in here as well, it feels very airy and modern. read more

I was really happy to hear they opened a location near me. I finally got a chance to grab something. I ordered the Hawaiian Morning sandwich. It's not the same as I've had it before, but it's still a good, hearty breakfast sandwich. It has shrunk a bit. The buns are smaller, and the spam is thinner. The Spam also seems modified to me. It doesn't have as much flavor. I actually couldn't taste it that much. I went on a Wednesday morning, and they seemed busy with online orders. No one else was there, but I waited 10 minutes for mine. read more

Came here around 9:30am on Friday after a doctor appt at Kaiser. Not crowded at all. Clean, light and lots of seating. Friendly service. Ordered the Ultimate Sando Sandwich and hot brown sugar hojicha latte to go. WOW! It's definitely a two biter to get a taste of everything in your mouth. Bread is pillowy soft with some sweetness and everything else was savory goodness. Tasted super fresh, well seasoned and packaged nicely. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. So glad I finally have a great breakfast spot near by that makes great eggs! Highly recommend! read more

This is my first time at this location for Egghead. They have printed menus on clip boards at the front if you're waiting in line and aren't familiar with their menu. The cashier was nice, bright, and friendly. On my way in, one of the staff heading out was kind enough to hold the door for me. Upon entering, you can smell the pleasant smell of their sandwiches being made in the back. I ordered the Chic, waffle fries, a pink dream, strawberry hojicha later, and pineapple cucumber green tea. Food was good, fries were crunchy, the fruity drinks were nice and refreshing. The sandwiches are VERY filling. read more

This place looks great inside, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was phenomenal. However, the prices are not justifiable because you get a small sandwich for almost $14. This does not justify the cost in anyway. read more

Overall tasty sandwiches, but they did not sit well. I still feel awful 8 hours after eating it. I don't mean that the food is unsafe or unsanitary, just that it's incredibly heavy and not something my wimpy digestive system can handle. You can order from a kiosk or cashier. We ordered from the cashier who told us it would take about 10 mins for our food to come out, which was accurate. I ordered the chic because I heard that they use thigh meat, which is what I like. I never normally eat chicken sandwiches because I don't care for breast meat. So this sounded perfect. It was tasty, but as you can see in my photo, the chicken is comically thick which made it super messy and difficult to eat. I ended up taking it home and using a knife and fork. It also felt very lacking in sauce, but the person who took our order kindly gave me extra when I asked. I would want 4-5x the sauce they put on there. Also both the breading and the chicken itself were very uneven. Some bites were great, others were completely fat, or completely hard batter and no meat. I wouldn't eat this again. My partner got the BEC, which was quite tasty although very salty. I like salty food and I still found it salty, so the average person would probably think it's too salty. The BEC was less than half the height of the chic so it was easy and normal to eat, but still extremely heavy. Initially I wanted to go back and order the BEC in the future, but now I can't see myself going back here as I still have a tummy ache so long after eating and it kinda ruined my day. read more

We LOVE this place for breakfast. The fried chicken & egg sandwich is so large you can't eat it all in one serving. The poached egg on mashed potatoes with bacon & chives is delicious. It's served in a mason jar, makes it easy to transport. Please return your jars so we can still keep having this lovely item. I can't say enough good things about this spot! The coffees are also great. read more

My family and I arrived here on a Saturday around 10:15 am for a late breakfast. Finally got to visit this spot and glad that Egghead got this venue after the McDonalds was closed down. PARKING: Not worry since it's part of a larger plaza! AMBIENCE: Love the ambience! Cute decor and menu design the moment you walk in. The interior is shaped like a backwards L with ordering comes first, soda fountain, and seating from booth and tables. They even have waiting chairs for people who place to go orders. Nice color palette of blue on the walls. Awesome vibe with chill music and great to dine with friends or eat solo. SERVICE: The staff member who took my order was super patient; she double checked my order with me and built some rapport as she noticed that I had a kpop photocard in my lululemon bag and started a conversation. Order took about 10-15 minutes since it was a busy morning, so definitely justified and understandable. They give you a pager once your order is ready and you can pick it up at the counter. ORDERS: My family ordered 3 sandwiches: The scramble, the Hawaiian Morning, and the Breakfast Burger and a side of waffle fries to share which totaled around $45. -Waffle Fries: I typically don't like waffle fries, but these were so good. Well seasoned, light, crispy, and delicious. -Scramble: lots of scrambled eggs with chives and small diced of onion smacked between two soft brioche buns. The eggs were so fluffy and salted to perfection. Super light but filling once I finished the sandwich. Nice kick from their spicy mayo sauce. -Hawaiian Morning: Juicy slice of spam and fried egg is a match made in heaven. The arugula as the vegetable was hit and miss because some were bitter and some were sweet. Great sandwich though. -Breakfast Burger: Same reactions as above but with medium rare hamburger meat soaked with a runny yolk is so delicious. RATING: Awesome addition to south San Jose! Great space for people to eat and enjoy! read more

Yay for a new spot in the neighborhood that isn't a National chain! They just recently opened and we've been here twice already. It's on the corner of Santa Teresa and Cottle where the McDonald's used to be. Plenty of parking! The decor is really cute - minimal and clean. They have an assortment of breakfast sandwiches, tots/fries, and tea/coffee drink options. Their sandwiches are big and filling! They offer a curated menu and there is something for everyone (including the egghead salad). Service has been great both times - super friendly staff that are helpful. Look forward to coming read more

Nice parking...but we are here to talk about the food! The sandwiches here are a good portion size and sooooooo delicious! Ordered waffle fries with their special sauce. For drinks we got one Mint Passion, and one Black Sesame latte. The Hawaiian breakfast was perfect -- my spam had crispy edges, exactly the way I love it. My teenager enjoyed her Side Chic -- the chicken was crispy and had "popcorn chicken" seasoning! Yummy, Yummy. Last but not least, the staff was efficient and the service was friendly. The tables were clean. We will be going back! Thank you! read more

I was excited to come here for the first time but on the way here there was some traffic. I saw on my GPS that I could still make it on time so I continued to drive there. I arrived at 2:50 PM and saw a burger menu and was confused so I asked if that was egg head restaurant. The guy at the counter said that egghead closes at 3 and they switch to a burger place after. I said "but it's not 3 yet". He said "yeah but there's a transition phase where the cooks need to transition to get ready for the burger menu". I told him they should change the closing time for egghead to 2:50 then. I know it's not his fault and he didn't make the rules but who ever runs that place needs to update the closing time because saying it closes at 3 is disingenuous. Closing 10-15 minutes early is the kind of unprofessional stuff that restaurants with poor customer service do these days. This wasn't a normal or acceptable thing until recent years. read more

I believe this Egghead Sando Cafe is the newest of their 4 locations. This is a semi-busy plaza with plenty of shared parking in the lot. Steve was the main employee who helped me and he was accommodating, but all of the employees were friendly and helpful as well. I tried a few of their breakfast items, such as their Eggy with extra baguettes; Side Chic; The Chic; and Ultimate Sando. For drinks, I tried their Pineapple Cucumber Green Tea and Strawberry Matcha Latte with honey boba. Their breakfast sandwiches were huge and definitely delicious. My favorites were the Eggy, Side Chic, and Strawberry Matcha Latte with honey boba. The Eggy consisted of a poached egg on top of smooth potato puree with bacon and chives, and it is served with toasted baguettes on the side. The Side Chic consisted of grilled chicken, bacon, over medium egg, tomato, arugula, and chimichurri sauce in a brioche bun. The Chic consisted of their hand battered fried chicken, arugula, over medium egg, and their house sauce in a brioche bun. The Ultimate Sando consisted of scrambled eggs, fresh chives, caramel onion, avocado, sausage, pepper jack cheese, and their house sauce in a brioche bun. The Pineapple Cucumber Green Tea is organic green tea with their fresh house cucumber puree and pineapple jam. The Strawberry Matcha Latte is organic premium-grade matcha with fresh milk and their house-made strawberry puree. read more

Uniqueness: Breakfast Sandwiches that are top notch beyond your typical fast food. Plus tater tots?! Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Food Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] Service: [x][x][x][x][x] Setting: [x][x][x][x][x] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Recommendation? Highly recommend getting their breakfast chicken sandwich, get the tots, and get a hojicha latte. Well worth the purchase and I'd do it again. I knew about Egghead Sando Cafe back when it was in Cupertino and was surprised it bought out the previous McDonald's here. A perfectly spot really to have this here as it's literally one of the only breakfast spots on this side of South San Jose across from Bill's if you're looking for a quick sandwich bite. The food quality here is terrific when it comes to their breakfast sandwiches. I've already had the chicken sandwich, their Hawaiian, and they're scrambled so far and all were perfectly crisp and fresh. Their chicken sandwich has a texture like a massive popcorn chiken to it that was amazing. A true definition of what a 'premium' breakfast sandwich should be and the size of their sandwiches is huge. You could possible split them in half for 2 as it gets very filling if you eat it all on your own. Their sides of waffle fries or tater tots is VERY generous as they literally fill their container to the brim and I'm assuming one person could not eat by themselves. They're perfectly crisp as well and even when I had them as take out for about 10 minutes away, it was still crisp by the time I ate them at home. They also have a variety of coffee/tea drinks as well that is excellent too. Tea Era is literally next door and I have to say when it comes to coffee drinks, Egghead is definitely better here and worth the purchase. I was a little saddened to see how sparse the place is most of the times I stopped by and I'm assuming one of the possible reasons is the price is slightly higher than your typical breakfast spot (much more than what McDonald's had). But the price you pay for what you get, is it worth it? Well worth it in my opinion. Service is quick and friendly as well. For breakfast sandwiches in particular, Egghead Sando will have you covered for exceptional breakfast sandwiches. Enjoy them with their excellent fries and a nice coffee/tea drink, and you'll be set to start your day. I truly hope this place lasts for a long while and I know I'll be back to try some more. read more

I've never actually eaten at the location, but I work nearby and we order from here a lot. I usually get the "ultimate" sandwich and tater tots. Dude! The tater tots are SO good!!! I was super impressed the first time I ordered them. Salty, crispy deliciousness. I will continue to try different items on the menu, but nothing has disappointed yet. My favorite is still the "ultimate" though. I think I wanna try the Hawaiian breakfast sando next. I also really enjoy their strawberry matcha latte. I get it cold with light ice. I enjoy it because it isn't too sweet. Since I haven't eaten there, I can't speak on the ambiance or service really. What I can say is that they pack their food for travel well. Our to-go orders always make it to work safe and sound. read more

The location uses to be a McDonald's so it's pretty big and it seems to be consistently busy. Would definitely be coming back to try a different sandwich. read more

The food (The Chic and Egghead Salad) left my stomach really upset, like I want the food to be not in my body right now. Now they look incredibly aesthetic, don't get me wrong, so if you want a good photo, great spot. Taste wise it was good just bad quality. It's hard to mess up drinks so the matcha is good (I got it with oat-milk) Service was chill, took a normal amount of time. The place is beautiful inside, very nicely decorated, but oh my gosh so dirty. All the windows and glass panels on the back part are so incredibly dirty. It's like everything had a layer of dirty or grime even the bathroom (which should be the most often cleaned place). Maybe the inside reflects the kitchen, who knows read more

First thoughts upon entering: I love the ambience of this place. If we weren't sweaty and gross from the gym I would've loved to dine in! I ordered the B.E.C. and my bf ordered the Chic, both were SUPER delicious. We kept trading off so the other could bite each sandwich. The Chic is on the saltier side, BUT with the arugula and cheese I feel that it was the perfect balance. 100 percent will be ordering it again. We also got a side of tots, I thought they were gonna just be whatever, but they seasoned it with something and they were very crispy so that was a great addition to our meal. When I come back I will definitely try their drinks! read more

I ordered a takeout for three burgers and am shocked to see what I got. What is wrong with this place? Did they forget ingredients? Did they forget to take the patty out from the stove?? Disaster. One burger only had patties, and the other burger that had some more ingredients was so burnt that I had to take the burnt parts off before I could put the burger back together. Even this one did not have all the ingredients. This place used to be pretty good. Not sure what happened..... read more

I'm so happy this branch opened up. The original Cupertino location was my go-to for egg sandwiches. They also had my favorite version of hojicha strawberry milk tea. When the Cupertino location closed I tried another location and was pretty disappointed. Nothing tasted right. Since then I've stopped going to Egghead, but we were in the area and I was curious about how this one would compare, since all the chains seem to be run by different folks. I love this location! My ultimate sando was SO GOOD. The caramelized onions were perfectly cooked and the eggs were so soft and pillowy. The hojicha tastes just as good as the original location in Cupertino which was not the case for the other location I tried. The strawberry puree is different but I like it, slightly less sweet with lots of bits of fresh strawberries. Not going to complain about more real fruit and a healthier version of my favorite drink! (The location I don't like is too sweet, doesn't seem to use a lot of real fruit and their hojicha doesn't taste right) so I was thrilled that this location got everything right. The space is nice for hanging out with plenty of seating. And I don't have to wait 2 hours for food when it's busy like I did in Cupertino. Our wait was normal btw, and I'd rather wait longer (within a normal time frame) for freshly cooked food. For folk who need to get the food right away, I'd just order ahead... But I'd rather have quality food and take time to enjoy things v. the constant rush everyone seems to be in in the Bay... Okay enough shade. Highly recommend! So glad to have a go-to place for my favorite drink and sandwich again! read more
