They have a tablet that you can self service on or you can order at the register. The space is clean and good for large groups. They have Tator tots and lots of different options for sandwiches and drinks. The food was made to order and delicious. Will come back. :)

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.

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.

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.

Great Food and Service very fast as Well , the Hamburger Club menu is a nice selection. And Great prices , One of the better Smash Burgers I've had . I've gone three times back so far for that Smash burger Burger Club Smash 6.99$ 1st one one the menu

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.

Tater tots and cofee, served on a metal tray.

Decent food, but the price doesnt match for what you get. I ate inside and was disappointed i was served : tater tots inside a to go box, my sandwich in the same to go box, and coffee in a to go cup. It looked nice inside so i thought they would at least invest in some cups or plates. Also you have to go pick up your food. The sandwich did taste great, couldn't help but feel i could make the same at home for $5 instead of $30.

Strawberry Hojicha Latte & Strawberry Matcha Latte

This was our first time here. The shop was well decorated and had lots of room to sit! There was a place to get utensils, napkins and condiments. We ordered our food at the kiosk and it came rather quickly! We ordered the: Ultimate Sando (7/10) it was good but nothing mind blowing. The bread was soft and everything matched well. It was even better with sriracha added. The Side Chick (9/10) now this was a delicious sandwich! The bread was soft, the sandwich itself was huge. The chicken patty looked like two large slices that might mistakenly made its way into our one sandwich, but we won't say no to that. The arugula and tomatoes gave it a perfect level of freshness. Delicious. Waffle fries (5/10) average and tasted like waffle fries from anywhere. Hojicha strawberry latte (7/10) good but nothing mind blowing our preferred taste at the moment since the hojicha was more bitter than we typically prefer. Matcha strawberry latte (8/10) good. We liked the strawberry to match ratio. Overall it this place had great memorable sandwiches and we'd like to come back to try some other sandwiches!

Tons of seating and very beautiful place. The drinks are gross but the sandwiches more than make up for it. Tried the chic, ultimate Sando, Hawaiian morning, and B.E.C. They were all delicious. House latte and strawberry hojicha both lacked coffee and tea flavor. Both just tasted like milk.

*Visited on Weds. 1/1/2025 around 12:30 (happy new year!!) My boyfriend and I have been meaning to try Egghead Sando for quite some time now, and was pleasantly surprised that they were open on New Years! This location is quite large, and there's plenty of parking in this plaza. First impressions was that it's pretty modern and pretty self serving - you'd use the kiosk at the front to order (very easy to use, but there are menus on their front desk), there's a self serving soda machine, and you'd sit wherever and clean up after yourself. There are staff members to help assist you, but it's pretty much self serving here :) OKAY THE FOOD: * Breakfast Burger- pretty dang tasty! I enjoyed my burger, and did not feel bloated after. * The Chic- ALSO very tasty! I only had a bite of it, but it reminded me of an Americanized Taiwanese popcorn chicken but in a sandwich * Kyandi -DEFINITELY mix up your drink, I didn't thoroughly mix mines at first and got the biggest gulp of straight strawberry puree. I liked this drink, it was refreshing and paired pretty well with my burger (4/5 stars for sure)

I have visited this place a few times now and I think the food is really good. The portions are quite large. I haven't ordered any of the drinks. Every time I've visited has been consistent and good.

My husband's Chai was a bit too milky, reading other reviews it seems like we should have ordered it extra strong so we'd have a bit more spice. He finished it quickly and ended up asking me if I could look up a new spot that might have a better Chai. My flat white was good, and I sipped it slower before we ventured off to our second coffee shop of the morning. Definitely a cute little cafe, but it's worth asking extra questions about their items to make sure you're ordering right for your tastes. For lovers of spicy Chai, ask for extra spice here.

It's a small place but has indoor & outdoor eating. Lively (Latin?) music & an extensive menu. If you have a large party or are with picky eaters, this place has it all. I ordered their egg scramble with chorizo. 5/5 The rice & beans were seasoned so good. Even as sides, as individual items they were DELICIOUS. The chorizo & eggs weren't overly greasy & the tortillas were good. My partner ordered the steak sandwich. 4.5/5 Flavor was amazing. The steak was a little chewy. The sauce on the side complimented it very well but not necessary as the flavor of the steak was great by itself. I ordered a strawberry mimosa, as well. It was really lacking for me. Didn't taste any strawberry. Just looked like pink champagne. 2/5 Overall, the food & customer service was great. Clean bathrooms. Good vibes. Will definitely come back & try the rest of the menu.

She came out a few min later and we order some chips and salsa for an app and both got drinks. The drinks took a while to come out and the chips took even longer which was weird. The server finally came back out and we put in a food order and we both ordered another drink because of how long it took the first time. I got the qeusabria Taco which was pretty solid given it was my first time trying it. I would definitely order again. My buddy had gotten two tacos, and the first came out and he had been long done before the second one came out. Overall, good food, decent prices, multiple seating options depending on how you're feeling, but the service was not good. Because of that I don't know if I'll go back.

Upon entering, I loved how spacious the place was, especially with the variety of foods they had: egg sandwiches, matcha lattes, coffee, and lots more. I was fortunate enough to try their egg drop in a jar alongside bacon and cheese, and their matcha latte. Both were very delicious and had a very natural taste to them :) They had self-order kiosks but at the same time, their hospitality and customer service was on par. They were very accommodating with regards to dietary restrictions (especially when it came to the milk selections for lattes, matcha was no different). I will definitely be coming back to this place to try more! (Hint hint: I may also try their other location as well -- that to.be saved for another time)

I'm not sure why this cut of chicken was used. The fries were alright, but they did not come with the sandwich and cost an additional $5. Our total came to almost $90 for three entrees with no beverages. I was especially frustrated because my sandwich was inedible. For the price and quality, I will not be returning and would not recommend this place.
