The Original Egg
Meagan W.

Summary: be prepared to be nickel and dimed, the food is decent, service was okay. The restaurant is quaint, cute and clean. Very bright and spacious for how small it is. We were seated immediately with a 6 person party, so that was nice. Service was "okay". Our waitress was very friendly. However, when I asked for certain things, she did not disclose up front extra costs. For example, they have a kids' scrambled eggs and toast. Because I asked for the eggs to not be on top of the toast, they served the bread plain. So of course my kids wanted jam. It was $1 for just enough jam for one (maybe two) slices of toast. She didn't tell me this up front, so I found out when the bill came. It's more of an annoyance than anything. I also ordered turkey sausage because it's "healthier". Nowhere on the menu does it mention an upcharge and of course my server did not mention the upcharge. Had I known, I would have made a different choice for the meat. Not disclosing information seems very dishonest and a sly way to squeeze money out of each person. The food itself was pretty good. Just expect to be nickel and dimed for EVERYTHING. They also charge a surcharge of 20% (also not mentioned on the menu that I saw). I honestly would have tipped more because that's what I usually do, but having the automatic surcharge had me change my mind. I'd be back for sure if I were in the area. I'd just be aware of the prices and ask more questions when ordering.

I really enjoyed my first visit here. It's quaint with tons of natural light and moderately noisy, but appropriately so. It is a fan favorite among my family so I was delighted that I finally got a chance to try it with my younger sister on a Saturday morning. It wasn't too busy when we arrived about 10 AM. We were able to be seated right away in the window and it was honestly the perfect little breakfast. Our waiter's name was I believe Tyler and he had a ton of personality and was just overall great. I ordered the " you Bacon me crazy" sandwich and it was so tasty and literally packed with delightful, perfectly cooked bacon. I also tried a dirty chai but the anise finish wasn't really my cup of tea (pun-intended). My sisters did brown sugar lattes and they enjoyed. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this spot.

Bulgogi breakfast sandwich
Ashley M.

Great service. Minimal wait time as a party of 1. Everything order was wonderful, seasoned, and I truly wish I could've sat, ordered everything again that's house incredible my meal was. The TVs had different sports' matches on and eventually was packed. Definitely book a reservation ahead of time for a larger party.

DL Egg Drop
Saha S.

I got the DL Egg Drop from I Egg You, and it was really good! It's basically an egg sandwich with bulgogi. Simple but delicious, even the bread is really good and soft.

Shrimp & grits
Sharonda M.

This rate is3 star based on the server who is absolutely amazing and friendly very patient with dipping my first time, but unfortunately, the restaurant did not meet the expectations I had for this place. I ordered the shrimp and grits. My friend ordered the breakfast plate. Each came out to the table and I was honestly disappointed. I didn't know what to expect with the flavors. And the number one thing that ruined, the shrimp and grits for me was the amount of Parmesan it overloaded the plate that the smell was disturbing and made the texture of grits not to my liking. There were also only three shrimps in the entire dish just very underwhelming. Also, I was not happy with the freshly squeeze orange juice. It's not good at all. In my opinion overall, I will rate them at five out of 10.

Brunch at I Egg You was exactly what I needed before a full day of errands--good food, great service, and the perfect amount of indulgence. Rebecca took egg-cellent care of us--super attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. I ordered the OMG loaded potatoes and WOW... they lived up to the name. Loaded with bacon, layered sauces, and candied jalapeños that brought the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Every bite hit. My friend ordered the croque madame, and after one bite, I already know what I'm getting next time. Rich, decadent, and that cheese sauce? 10/10. We also shared the apple bread with pistachio butter, which was such a nice surprise--not overly sweet, just perfectly balanced and delicious. The artwork throughout the space was incredible, the vibe was fun, and the portions were so satisfying I stayed full for most of the day. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

I was in the area getting my car detailed this morning and woke up with a real breakfast craving. A quick Yelp search led me to I Egg You, and since it's walking distance from Eastern Market, I said why not and headed over. First impression--cute spot, good energy, and a solid amount of space. It's giving neighborhood brunch go-to, but with a little edge thanks to the full bar and a bartender who's also pulling barista duty. Love that. I was greeted and seated pretty quickly, and I appreciated the transparency upfront about a few items being unavailable. Nothing worse than getting your heart set on something just to be told "we're out" after the fact. It was fairly busy but the main waitress, Anita, was on it! No problem though--I landed on the Croque Madame, and let me tell you... yeah, this is the one. Toasted ham sandwich on soft milk bread, covered in a rich fontina mornay and topped with a fried egg? Baby... DELICIOUS. I'd come back for that alone. And as someone who loves fontina, seeing it show up throughout the menu felt very intentional and very correct. I added a side of bacon and fruit, and for my drink, a hot dirty chai with brown sugar syrup on the side--because I like to control my own sweetness. Balance. All in all, this spot did what it needed to do. Good food, great vibe, and an easy place to pull up with friends, family, or even knock out a casual work meet. Safe to say--I'll be back.

This was a hard one to rate because the food and drinks were great but the service was a mess. We popped in around 2:20, they close at 4 but we wanted to get a sandwich and some drinks beforehand. When ordering I asked if they could sub vodka for tequila in this drink on the specials menu, because I don't drink tequila, and the waiter says "since it's a special so I don't think so" without asking the bar. I pivoted with my drink, all good. Around 3 our waiter let us know he forgot to put our order in. No biggie! I used to wait tables it happens. Then around 3:20 our food isn't out yet and another server drops off our check thinking we are waiting to leave. He did later apologize and he was not our waiter, so I don't wanna put him down because he was actually the sweetest ever!!! We did want a second cocktail but at that point, we just paid while we waited for our food. The burger was so pricey for no side and there's better burgers in DC so I'd not recommend this spot overall given the experience.

The Original Egg
Aparajita S.

I absolutely loved this brunch spot! It had a great menu of different dishes and was located pretty close to the metro stop. My friend and I came by on Saturday morning and luckily were seated quickly at a table. The inside is super nice and bright with a decent size bar as well. I went with the original egg sandwich with some pistachio butter and side of fries along with the Dalgona coffee. We got our food pretty quickly after ordering. The sandwich was quite tasty but loved the bread! The milk bread slices were quite large and so soft! I also loved the pistachio butter I got on the side since it was pretty unique and loved that it wasn't tasty and had salt flakes. The fries were decent and wish it had some seasoning but was a nice addition to the sandwich. The dalgona coffee was pretty good and honestly loved that it was not sweet at all. Overall would recommend this spot for a quick brunch!

Vietnamese coffee
Destiny S.

Ive been wanting to go to this place for years and finally did so! The food was amazing staff was very friendly. What a good birthday month start!

DL's Egg Drop
Alma S.

DL sandwich, a Scotch Egg, The Full I egg You Breakfast ---Yum! The DL was so good...Bulgogi and was excellent match. Vietnamese coffee, was not overly sweet.

Bacon Me Crazy
Lily J.

I've been ordering from here since they've been a ghost kitchen! I fell in love with their Bacon Me Crazy sandwich and their potatoes with old bay aioli. Always cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I love a good brunch but sometimes it doesn't travel well when it's delivered and whether in store or delivery the quality remains the same. I always recommend this place and everyone is always pleased with their choice.

Scotch Egg and The Puffin
Sylvea H.

Here's a polished, warm rewrite that keeps your voice but smooths the edges: Delicious food across the board. I had my first-ever Scotch egg and it was spot-on. Crisp, rich, and deeply satisfying. The side salad was generous and genuinely tasty, not an afterthought. The burger was a standout. Excellent-quality meat, beautifully seasoned, cooked just right. The fries were equally crave-worthy. The tea service felt delightfully bougie in the best way and added a special touch to the meal. Service was bright, friendly, and gracious throughout. Ambiance? Bustling like a diner. One small note: I wished some of the dishes had arrived a bit closer together. By the time the fries came out, they were essentially dessert. That said, no real complaints, because they were still perfect. I'm already looking forward to returning.

Its warm, clean design makes it quite welcoming for enjoying avocado toast with smoked salmon, which brings one to a place of spiritual oneness. With white walls, natural wood-grain tables and countertops, Toastique's design radiates minimalist, urban style while remaining inviting. Any time I have been there, the wait times have been stress-free, and the queues move quickly. Food-wise, you can't go wrong with their avocado toast with smoked salmon. With a generous portion of smoked salmon on top of avocado mash, on perfectly toasted sourdough bread, creating a place of tremendous well-being. The cucumbers, marinated tomatoes, red onion, capers, and a sprinkle of microgreens make for a fully satisfying meal without feeling like you are overdoing it with your life choices. Drink-wise, I always go for cold brew and the cold brew never lets me down there. Last time, they had a peanut-butter cold brew and a black cherry one, both of which were magical. This Toastique delivers every time.

We hoped to find a place that offered decaf coffee since it was late in the day, but really wanted something warm since it was a bit chilly outside. Unfortunately, this location of Toastique does not offer decaf - they only have a single hopper for their coffee, so it is not an offering. We were going to find another place, however, they said how about a hot chocolate or a tea. My friend is vegan and inquired if their hot cocoa was vegan, as most places have dairy in the chocolate. The cashier went to look at the chocolate syrup and also had another person look at it to verify it's vegan. My friend ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk. Even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes for her drink. We appreciated the effort to double check it was vegan, though I do wish they had decaf options.

The weight was super busy, but we were able to meet a couple on the way in who had a reservation. When we got up to the front, we noticed that the couple ran to the counter at the bar and got seats. When we asked the hostess, how long the wait for a party of two would be she said one hour to 1 hour and 30 minutes. I had to catch my flight so we definitely could not wait that long. Right when we were about leave and walk away, the very kind and nice couple (Montez & Alayna) that we met walking up, told us that they had secured bar seats and that we could take their breakfast brunch dining reservation. THIS WAS A BLESSING! I purchased their first round of drinks because they were generous with their reservation. There are great people in this city, thanks! We were seated right away at a dining table, and the place was packed, as usual. Our server was wonderful. I believe her name was Alisha or Aisha, and she took care of us very well. We ordered: Naan Bread Appetizer, Blueberry Pancakes with Mascarpone, side of chicken sausage, Creme Brûlée French Toast, side of scrambled eggs, and side of Hash browns. For beverages we had coffee and apple juice plus water. Our food came out within 10 to 12 minutes and everything was delicious and amazing. We were so stuffed and really enjoyed our time here. At the end of our reservation the restaurant Manager approached us (named Derek or Ryan) with the gentleman from the couple who gave us his reservation. They surprised us each with a decadent dessert! This was in response to us buying their first round of drinks. The customer service of our server was AMAZING, the food was DELICIOUS, and the surprise desserts were FABULOUS! This is definitely our go-to restaurant in DC.

People watching was pretty good, an important component for brunch. Would I go back? Not sure there are many good places to brunch.

I ordered the chimichurri steak plate and really enjoyed it. Funnily enough, the chimichurri itself was the least enjoyable item. I didn't love the texture of it (much too coarse) but, fortunately, it was packaged in a small container separate instead of on the steak itself. The salad probably had a bit too much dressing but I had the option to order that on the side so that's on me. Nonetheless, the steak, potatoes, salad, corn, avocado were all excellent. I also added chips, a lemon zest cookie, and a blueberry breeze handcrafted drink. The cookie is big and chewy, unlike others I have had. It's definitely not something to eat in one sitting.

It was a nice portion with pita bread, but the hummus was kind of "meh." Texture was good but not much flavor. A disappointment. The beverage bar has an interesting variety of self-serve drinks, including unsweetened tea, tea with pineapple, a mango drink and a drink with a kale base. I tried several of them and mixed some together. It was $4. Worth a try. The place was not crowded when we were there and it's comfortable. Nice upbeat music playing not-too-loudly in the background.
