    Been on my radar for awhile, tried once with my husband, but the line was out the door on a Sunday around noon (did not expect any less). Finally got to try it with a friend, and we made sure to come early in case there was a line. Went in at Saturday a little before 11am, and waited about 15 mins in line before ordering. Ordering seemed a bit chaotic and rushed even though we knew exactly what we were ordering. It was just the vibes that we got, hurry up and tell me what you want because I have many other things to do while I take orders between that. After you order, they tell you where your table is. Overall, the restaurant has 3 seating areas. One smalk area inside where you place your order, outside in a courtyard like space, and outside upstairs They currently share the outside space with the other businesses. We got seated outside/upstairs. It was a gorgeous day, so we did not think anything of it, but our table did not have an umbrella for shade, so we started burning up after only 2 minutes of sitting directly under the sun. We looked around and saw a few tables finishing up, so we asked if we could be moved. The worker was so nice, he completely understood and agreed to move us once he clears the tables. A few different people got seated at the same table after, and no one survived. Every party that got seated there would stand up after minutes and ask to be moved. Luckily, the worker informed us that they will be moving down the block next week, so it should no longer be a problem. The ambiance is very cute and lively for friends to get together for brunch. Families can come too, but I cannot imagine coming here with my kids. The food on the otherhand was just all right. We were really looking forward to a delicious meal, but we were a bit disappointed. Yelpers rave about how amazing the food is, but the only dish we liked was the birria. It was juicy, tender, flavorful, and crispy. It was the first thing to come out, so we were excited for everything else. It just went downhill from there. The short rib hash was tender, but the flavor just was not great. We asked for extra crispy potatoes, and they did not deliver. The meat was saucy, but it just did not do anything for us. The famous Tres Leche French toast was dry. It felt like we were eating bread smothered in sauce with fruits, rather than bread thats been soaked. If it was soaked, it would not be dry in the center. Garlic fries were also okay, more on salty side. We also wish they were more crispy. We originally said we would come back to try the other dishes that we could not get because there was only 2 of us, but we are having second thoughts now. Definitely would not go out of my way to come again, but would give it another try if I were in the area and there was little to no line.

    Steak Frites

    Came here with a couple friends on a Saturday for brunch. The entrance is a bit hidden off Shattuck. The line was pretty long, we probably waited for at least 20+ minutes, but the line area is nicely decorated. Kind of a bustling chaotic vibe. You pay at the counter before seating yourself. I tried the breakfast sando, which was tasty for sure but also heavy/greasy. The consensus around the table was that the food was generally pretty heavy. Also worth noting, the waffles that came with the chicken and waffles dish tasted fried (almost like a donut), which was surprising. My dish came with a fruit cup to kind of balance out the grease, which was nice. I'd say it was a solid brunch but I wouldn't go out of my way to wait in line for it again, probably. They were also blasting club-adjacent music which made for a weird brunch vibe.

    Chilaquiles Verdes
    Zara A.

    An incredible brunch experience! Eggy's is tucked away down an alley on Shattuck, blink and you'll miss it. I loved the ambiance of walking through the outdoor seating which if full of plants and a small water founts as we lined up and waited to order. The staff run like a well oiled machine throughout the hustle and bustle of the weekend brunch hours. We ordered the Chilaquiles Verdes and the Fried Chicken Bene to share between us. Both of our dishes were so delicious. I love the tortilla chips they use in the chilaquiles, it soaks up the tomatillo sauce and yolk from the eggs so well. It is incredibly flavorful and a great portion size. The house potatoes served with the fried chicken benedict were the perfect accompaniment, the chicken was crispy, and the poached eggs were runny just how we like it! We left this meal feeling very satisfied and I hope I get to come back again (:

    Jamon Omelette-delicious filling and perfectly cooked potatoes!
    Elaine L.

    Quick and friendly service! I enjoyed my omelette. It was flavorful and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. My daughter had the breakfast burrito. The tortilla had a bit of a strange after taste. My husband enjoyed his chorizo hash. I enjoyed their spa-like drinking water. A nice garden outside although it was too chilly to sit there.

    Order first, and then find outdoor or indoor seating

    Such a cute brunch spot!! I came here with my husband and toddler on a Thursday around noon. You order first and then find a table. It was pretty packed but thankfully we were able to snag a table inside. The food didn't take too long to come out. We got the Tres Leches French Toast and Braised Short Rib Hash. My toddler loved the french toast because of all of the berries that came with it. It was tasty but like other reviewers mentioned, the berry compote overpowered the tres leches. The short rib hash was decent but not worth the price point. The food we ordered didn't satisfy us as much as we were hoping it would. I give the food 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4 stars because of the beautiful ambiance.

    The food was amazing! The waffles are definitely as good as folks say they are. It's not too airy, not too cakey, not too right. Goldilocks would love it. Their french toast was also a pleasant surprise. And the fried chicken was delicious! Crispy and juicy. Honestly one of the best fried chickens I've had. Breakfast potatoes had a slight crisp and were cooked well. The jamon omelette was ok... not exciting. In fact, a little disappointing since everything else was sooo good. Wish there had been more flavor there; I was also thrown off by the chunks of Brie cheese in there. The peppers, jamon and Brie definitely did not play well together. Came here right at 9:26 a.m. with friends after we ended a hike early due to a swarm of bees chasing out hikers ahead of us and then swarming the rest of the trail. We thought we were gonna be the restaurant openers since they open at 9:30 a.m. but there was already a line of about 12 people! We eventually were in some seats by 9:50 a.m. The restaurant is cafeteria style where you order at the cashier, pay and then get a number so your food can be delivered to your table. I get why this is the spot for brunch on Shattuck. Very cute inside, cozy patio seating. Wish their menu was more well-rounded--even for less popular brekky items.

    I arrived around 1:10pm on a Saturday (this establishment closes at 3pm) thinking who would dine here at this hour. Let me tell you, at least 30 other people. Luckily, the line was moving pretty quick. Since my friend and I were going to share dishes, we decided on one sweet one savory. Steak and fries - steak, cooked perfectly. Fries nicely crisp. Salad, fresh. French Toast - this is one of the popular items however, I wasn't too impressed with it. Could've been sweeter. The space is huge, great service.

    I was a walk in with my childhood friend from out of town before Pilates. We got shrimp tacos, avocado toast, a bottle of mimosa and it was sooooo yummy! The portions are perfectly sized, seasoned, and plated. Not only does everything look good but tastes good too. I really recommend getting a mimosa bottle if you know you're in for a long yap session, I love that they give you all the flavors to try- my favorite were guava and cranberry. The service was the perfect level of attentive and when we annoyingly asked for pictures to commemorate our hangout, the server was happy to humor us. Another note on service- We had asked if we could get a table on the rooftop and they tried their best but couldn't make it work because of how busy they were. Oh well. No big deal! We enjoyed our sunny little high top regardless and forgot about the rooftop entirely. When we later on finished our meal they were so kind to bring out a churro waffle and apologize for not getting us a table, it was not expected at all. But such a kind gesture and testament to how much thought and care they put into their restaurant. They genuinely care about their customers because we would've enjoyed our time at Eggy's regardless! Unfortunately for me, I'm now hooked on another one of their dishes hehehe so I will now be back for my shrimp tacos, guava mimosas, AND churro waffle hahaha

    Poke nachos
    Dezi S.

    1st time at Eggy's. Wife been wanting to try out the Poke Nachos and I fulfilled her wish! Cool stylish entrance with art and photos. There was a nice little calming water feature in the outdoor seating area. We got there near closing and the place was still packed! Nice sized menu. Wife already knew what she was going for, but I had no clue. She got her craving of poke nachos and killed it! I guess it was good! I got the huevos rancheros. It was solid, but was drowned in salsa verde, and the utilized whole fried tortillas opposed to chips. I kinda wished I went for either the chicken and waffles or the french toast! It's definitely worth the try, and we'll probably be back! The poke nachos LOOKED hella good, but unfortunately, I only got a chip, a small piece of tuna and avocado. Wife inhaled it!

    I've been meaning to go here since it's opened but never had the chance to until now! I love how the restaurant itself is hidden, the ambiance is super welcoming and comforting. Such an amazing staff with amazing food! Gio, Arnold, and another young gentleman were great. Always made sure we were good and if we needed anything. I work off of shattuck and heard they're relocating closer to where I am so it'll be super exciting!

    Birria dip sandwich
    Wallace T.

    Eggy's always been that kind of spot to hang with friends, take cute pics, and pay a little extra for the ambiance. The place is super aesthetic and the plating is beautiful. but food-wise, I'd say it's pretty middle of the pack for a latin-fusion brunch. The best part of the chilaquiles verdes was honestly the chips. they tasted freshly fried and the texture was great (as it should be at that price). Flavor-wise though, the sauce and toppings didn't really wow me. The birria was tender, but a bit too salty for my taste. The fries from the birria dip sando were fine but nothing special. The sandwich was soft and comfy, and again the birria was tender but leaned salty. The consomé was decent, but not as rich or deep as the kind you get from even a good street taco stand. The huevos rancheros were also fine. Everything tasted fresh, but nothing that made me go I need this again. Tres leches French toast was the standout. I actually messed with the house blueberry jam heavy. The toast itself is still just french toast, and yeah it's pricey, but it was the one thing that felt memorable. Service was nothing to write home about, you line up to order at the register then they give you a number and sit you at a table. Water, napkins, and condiments are all at the front as self serve. Our group of four left full and satisfied, and for Berkeley it's a vibe. In the same brunch category, I think la note is better, feel like Eggy's is more style than substance.

    Fresh squeezed orange juice. The good stuff.
    Rachel H.

    Eggy's in Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto is a few doors down from the legendary Chez Panisse. It's a well-run, Asian fusion breakfast spot with a slightly unusual setup: you queue up to order and may wait there for a bit, but the staff is organized to help you find seating after ordering. We arrived at 10 a.m. (early for brunch) and waited, standing for 30 minutes in a line, to order. Seating is about 60% outdoors, split between a garden area and a rooftop patio with umbrellas and café chairs, and 40% indoors. They have a solid menu with both sweet and savory options, including French toast, waffles, a handful of Benedicts, and a meaty hash. We had the chicken and waffles: boneless fried chicken with freshly made, deep fried waffles that leaned indulgent, reminiscent of a funnel cake. The fresh squeezed orange juice was excellent. Overall, the staff runs a tight ship. The brunch offering is good, even if a fried waffle wasn't our speed. It's worth a visit, and at its best when the line is shorter.

    Steak chilaquiles verde
    Maxine

    Came here on a Saturday, I'd advise to come early because the line gets super long. Ate upstairs, the ambiance is super chill. Service was excellent and attentive! My friend and I ordered the steak chilaquiles verde and tres leches French toast. I forgot to take a pic of the French toast- but both was 5/5. The steak was cooked perfectly, presentation was pretty, and it all tasted so good together. The French toast with berry compote was super yummy and balanced. Not too sweet. My friend and I also got a bottle of champagne to make mimosas. We had the guava, mango, and cranberry (I think I didn't taste this one) on the side in little glasses I love guava but the mango was the best flavor! I would recommend this place for the service and especially the food! I want to come back and try more.

    How's the parking? Is there a parking lot or street parking only?

    Street parking

    Would it be busy if I went during the graduation commencement at around 10-10:30 AM?

    Most likely not. That's a good time to go

    Is this place pet friendly?

    Yes! I came here with my friend and her large dog.

    Where are you supposed to park?

    Street parking.

    What are the hours?

    9:30 am to 3:00pm

    Can you make a reservation?

    As far as I could tell, you are unable to make a reservation. Their number on Google doesn't work and they have no website set up. Since they are only in their soft opening phase, that probably is why.

    Can we make a reservation?

    No. But what I like about this restaurant is that they will wait to take your order until they know they can seat you. Unlike some other places where you have to stalk diners and swoop in as they're about to leave, Eggy's will hold off taking your… Read more

The bakery itself seems to mainly be a takeout spot, with minimal indoor seating which felt pretty inconvenient given the limited space for customers, however it did seem to serve more of a purpose as a waiting area anyways. The structure of the bakery leaves a bit to be desired as well, as we found the glass display cases as the only form of menu, so being in the front of the line while still deciding what to order caused some unnecessary anxiety. Regardless of those nitpicks, the baked goods themselves were pretty good! Service was instant, and all of the treats looked delicious--it was hard to choose what we wanted! Our favorites were the Thai Tea and Ube Coconut Mochi Donuts. Both had really strong flavors--the Ube in particular was very clear in comparison to most other Ube desserts in my experience. The textures of the mochi donuts were really well done too, with soft exteriors and chewy, glutinous interiors. The same can be said about the Mochi Muffins, though with crunchier parts around the edges. We found the contrast of textures to actually work really well! However, the flavors of the Muffins were lacking a bit--the Red Velvet didn't stand out much, with the frosting tasting a bit too sweet, and while the Five Spice had a really interesting flavor, it was also a bit too sweet, drowning out the more unique citrusy flavor. Overall, however, all four of the goods we had were enjoyable eats, and would definitely return some time to try out other flavors!

We called to get a quote and had a discussion. After we gave the owner all of our information, she told us she wouldn't give us a quote unless we came in person (?!) Which is weird because this isn't how restaurants work. Typically for events restaurants will give you a quote via phone or email for the sake of convenience. We had gotten 3 quotes already from other restaurants via phone. Making us drive 45 mins just to get a quote is a total waste of time. Especially if we can't afford it. So my daughter called again, left a VM explaining we couldn't come in person due to time constraints, and again asked for a quote. No reply. We waited a few days and called again. No reply. Finally we got a voicemail from the owner saying that she didn't like my daughter's attitude ?!!! Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant. We took our business elsewhere and recommend that you do, too.

This must be a local favorite! Special Dish: Game Hen - This was amazing! The hen was marinated in Thai spices then steamed for a couple hours. The chicken was moist and tender. The jus was flavorful and is then poured over the chicken. I can't stop thinking about it. It didn't come with rice but this would be best served with some rice. I would love to return and try more dishes. This place is a gem!

My friend who rarely insists on eating at specific places insisted we come, a previous girlfriend was in the food industry and they have this place bookmarked for awhile.

Frittata: pastured eggs, assorted vegetables, caramelized onions. WAY too good! we all love this one. Herb-Dijon Biscuit: Excellent savory biscuit, you can taste the high quality butter used.

    Very cute and quaint spot for breakfast. A friend suggested we meet here on Saturday for a late…read morebreakfast, what a great choice. It was pretty hard to pick from the menu items, but I settled on the Frittata with a side of Fennel Sausage, sourdough toast and a Arnold Palmer. Although the seating was full, thank goodness out food came out just as some seats were emptying out. It was a chilly day and the outside seating was full too. The service was without any complaints. They did their best to accommodate all patrons despite it being very crowded and crazy busy. Overall I would come back here, probably right as the doors open to be guaranteed a place to seat and not have to wait and hope for a seat. Oh the music was on point!! Put it on your list, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Cali Alley is one of my go-to spots... I'm constantly trying to convince people to meet me there…read morefor lunch, or telling them to just DoorDash it because it's that good. It's also one of those places that makes you want to stay. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and generous. Every time I come here, I tell myself I'll pace myself... and every time I fail because it's just that good. The burgers are loaded and perfectly balanced, the fries are always crisp (never soggy, which is rare), and everything tastes high-quality and made to order. You have to try the chicken and waffles. The waffle batter tastes homemade and the butter takes it to another level... it's one of those dishes you keep thinking about after. I'll even DoorDash it all the way to Jingletown. The patio setup is really well done... there's a mix of larger tables for groups and higher bar-style seating for smaller hangs. The wooden furniture and cushioned benches make it comfortable, and they've got heaters for colder days and umbrellas when it's sunny, so you can usually pick your ideal spot. You order at the window and then just hang out while you wait... it's a relaxed flow and the food comes out pretty quickly. The staff are always kind and welcoming, and the whole place has a relaxed, homey vibe with really good music. Highly recommend... just come hungry.

    Cali Alley is one of those places I have looked at thousands of times when trying to figure out…read morewhat to order on Door Dash or Uber Eats. The food always looked really good, but for whatever reason I always ended up ordering from somewhere else. Well, I finally did it. I finally ordered from Cali Alley, and all I have to say is, why did I wait so darn long? Door Dash was having a 2-for-1 deal on the Cali Alley Burger, so I ordered one of those (and got another for free) , as well as on the small mac and cheese, so I ended up with two of those as well. I got fries as he side for the burgers and saved the second burger and mac and cheese for the next day. I also bought a small side of veggie fried rice for lunch later in the week. OK, let's start with the fries ... wow. Super crispy. Don't know what they do to them, but I think I almost ate all the fries that came with one of the burgers before I even touched the burger. The fries seemed to have a coating like some fries do to make them extra crispy on the outside. Whatever it was, it made them so good, I couldn't stop eating them. I was almost too full for the burger. But who are we kidding? If there is one thing I am good at, it is eating more than I should. The burger, which is described on Door Dash as "char grilled, fresh ground brisket and short rib burger, served on a toasted brioche fun with crisp lettuce, tomato onion marmalade and garlic aioli" was thick and incredibly flavorful. I couldn't stop eating that, either. It was that good. I ordered it medium, and it was pretty pink, but it was sooooooo flavorful, and all the toppings worked well together. I didn't get any cheese on it because I wanted to try to burger by itself and not mask it with cheese. I might try adding cheese next time, but honestly the burger is so good, I almost wouldn't want to cover up its flavor with cheese. Oh, I almost forgot. When you order on Door Dash, you can opt to have them include a small side of their chocolate-chipotle bbq sauce, and I highly recommend that you get it. It's a really interesting flavor and is good for dipping the fries in. I didn't try putting it on the burger, but that might be good, too. The mac and cheese was OK. It's important to note that I enjoyed the flavor but it is more of an eggy consistency than a saucy mac and cheese if that makes sense. It has a nice kick of black pepper, which I liked, though. The vegetarian fried rice was also fine but could have used a little salt. All that to say, don't be like me and procrastinate, get the Cali Alley Burger and fries ASAP.
