The English muffin was nicely toasted and I could easily customize the side to remove the feta etc. Really nice ambience. I will admit that I didn't like how it was hard to get the attention of the waitress to get our check etc. Note it was a busy Saturday but I do prefer more attentive service. Regardless, this is a good brunch spot with lots of food options and even gluten friendly options.

Every time I tell myself I'm going to try something different, and nope... I end up ordering the same thing. And did I mention they open at 8 AM? Because sometimes a solid breakfast and a cocktail are exactly what you need to start the day. LOL Now the service... it's definitely hit or miss. We've had some servers who are super attentive and on top of everything, and then we've had others where you can just tell they're either having a bad day or they hate their job. LOL. You never really know which one you're going to get.

There is a lot of seating both indoors and outdoors. Parking can be a little tricky during peak times. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, making sure we had what we needed and receiving our refills. Ordered the following: - Avocado Benedict - Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich - House French Toast (Deep-Fried Toast, mixed Berries, Maple Syrup, Condensed Milk) - Mango Iced Green Tea - Potted Plant Latte All the food that we ordered was amazing and delicious. I especially liked the Avocado Benedict, there was a savory and creamy taste to it. The House French Toast was a great addition for dessert; the toast had a crispy texture while the inside was soft. The Manga Iced Green Tea was refreshing but if you wanted something interesting but also a latte then the potted plant is a good choice! Overall, it is such a nice brunch spot to go to with many different choices. I definitely want to come back to try their other items.

It is slightly on the pricier side at around $18+ per plate, but the portions definitely make up for it. The staff are always super nice and welcoming, especially the older gentleman who is always so friendly. The ambiance is nice with both indoor and outdoor seating, although there's more space outside. Inside is cozy and enjoyable when it's not too crowded. My favorites are the salmon Benedict and egg coffee! Highly recommend both. Parking in the plaza is pretty tight, so I'd recommend coming earlier for a better spot or parking across at the plaza with Snail's Pace and walking over. Weekdays are great, but expect it to be very crowded on weekends.

Such a gem! I've…read morebeen hearing great things about this place and finally had a chance to try it... I was so impressed. The restaurant has plenty of seating and the staff is very welcoming. They also were playing great music here ;)) My partner and I shared a breakfast burrito and the churro waffle. The breakfast burrito came with a side (we picked hash browns) and it was packed with egg, cheese, and bacon. The hash browns were so flavorful. The churro waffle was such a treat! It's not too sweet and comes with banana and whipped cream. Shoutout to our server Kezia she was so attentive and kind :) You should definitely come try this place out!

They deleted my review, nice try. I will take the time to write another review again only because…read morethe service was so bad it is worth mentioning yet again. We arrived at the restaurant and the hostess at the front was cutting people she knew ahead of others waiting in line for a table. We finally get called to our table and when we were shown the table it was filthy. I asked the same hostess to please have someone clean the table and she has the audacity to take a dry paper towel to just wipe the table really quick and she says "someone already wiped the table down". It was not wiped down, we saw them pick up the dishes and never wipe down the table; in fact the check was still on the table. We are waiting and waiting for someone to come take our order and we have to flag someone down after waiting 15 minutes. The waitress comes over with an attitude and takes our order with the crappiest mood. She leaves and a while later someone else brings our food but no one ever brought our drinks. I had ordered a tea and remind the waitress. She leaves and comes back with the nastiest dirtiest, clearly used cup. I complain to her I want a clean cup and she gets visibly bothered and returns with a broken cup. Everything was clearly done on purpose. What a terrible unprofessional waitress. We never understood why the heck she had such hostility towards us. Management needs to do a better job in training their employees in being professional. We will not be returning.

Overall, everything lacked flavor, although I will say the red salsa served with the chips was delicious. My friend ordered the avocado toast, but it was basically just a slice of bread with sliced avocado--no seasoning, condiments, or anything to make it stand out. The small garden salad was equally underwhelming, consisting of only romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes with no dressing or even a drizzle of olive oil. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, but they were more like open-faced boiled eggs since the yolks were completely hard instead of runny. The café de olla had a nice flavor, but it was much sweeter than expected. I think it would be better if they served it unsweetened (or lightly sweetened) and let customers adjust the sugar to their own taste. I really wanted to enjoy this place because the ambiance is so charming, but the food just didn't live up to the experience.

We also remembered to validate so we didn't need to spend $10 on parking. I had the Grilled Broccolini Omelette, it was sooooo good! Perfectly cooked eggs, so much gooey gruyere cheese, garlic confit, and loads of tender broccolini inside. I got the mushroom fries again for my side and they were just as good as I remember. Husband had their Cremini Mushroom Toast and added a poached egg. His toast was awesome! Cream cheese, super garlicky mushrooms, and gremolata topped the sourdough bread. Yum! We both couldn't shut up about how great breakfast was. I hope they keep that broccolini omelette on the menu, cause I am already craving it again!

I discovered this spot because I was taking my mom to her Physical Therapy appointments across the…read morestreet and I was really hungry one morning. It's a very nondescript location, you could drive by it 10 times before you noticed it, but once you walk in, it has a very warm homey feel to it. I'm always greeted with a smile and a hello and they seem to have quite a few regulars, because they call them by name when they see these customers walk in. Service - The staff (who I am assuming are the owners) are super friendly, again, greet everyone, and always open to making suggestions. If a place has breakfast burritos, I'm always down for that...so that's what I went with the first time, and every time after. When I asked about their Bfast burritos, the owner suggested that I get it with a spinach tortilla, a totally new option to me, but boy was I happy with it. I have gotten it every time since then. Parking - lots of parking available...it's very strip-mall-ish, but doesn't seem to be too busy. If this place was much closer to home, I'd come way more often than every other week or so! Yum Yum Yum!

We had a little mix up during our visit, and he handled it so respectfully and graciously that we were genuinely impressed. We will absolutely be coming back. I just found my new breakfast spot!

Bottom Line Up Front: Eggbred is breakfast food for Gen Z --…read moreand that's not a dig by any means. Let me eggplain... The Background: Eggbred is a fast-food establishment with fast-casual aspirations. You pay at the counter but the meals are handcrafted, so there's a wait similar to a sit-down restaurant. Plus, the prices are higher than a Mickey D's -- $9.79 to $13.99 for sandwiches and $9.99 to $17.99 for burritos, for example. The Food: I ordered the Ribeye California Burrito and it was delicious. The beef was tender and moist, the avocado was fresh, and the cilantro crema was tasty. The lemonade was very meh, unfortunately. The Setting: Located in a smallish strip mall on Harbor Boulevard, it has limited free parking in the front. Not a problem on a weekday mid morning, but I imagine it would be quite difficult to find parking at peak times. Inside, it had a cool, modern aesthetic, but it was small, not ideal for mid to large-size groups. Customer Service: My cashier was friendly and quite knowledgeable, providing an eggcellent recommendation (the Ribeye California Burrito). However, the cook staff took awhile making the food (it took about 20 minutes for my order to come out). The Pros and Cons: So, is the food worth the hype and premium prices? Yes and no. It's essentially a fast-food restaurant charging sit-down prices with longish wait times. Your satisfaction level will depend largely on your expectations: if you're thinking it's fast food, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the care they put into the food and freshness of the ingredients. You'll be disappointed if you're expecting a more premium experience to match the premium prices. The Conclusion: I would need to return to try the other dishes on the menu to give a definitive answer, but based on my first experience I didn't feel like I got enough value for the price I paid and the wait I endured. While I would be open to trying their other dishes, I would not return unless I was in the area by chance.

You order at the front, and a staff member brings the food over to your table. We were about to eat inside their patio while it was a little chilly, but some indoor booths opened up for us. We both got the bacon burrito ($14). This is a large breakfast burrito with chopped bacon, two scrambled eggs, hash browns, and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla. You can pick either red or green salsa. I liked the green salsa as it had a good balance of spice and flavor. The burrito has a lot of hash browns, which can overpower the overall flavor and other ingredients. The breakfast burrito seemed a little pricy, but the portion size made up for it. I even took a small remnant of leftovers home.

Lots of people smiling and laughing and enjoying real, good, fresh food. Oh yeah the coffee is bomb too. Any of the people leaving 1-star reviews are seriously mental IMO. There's really no restaurant as good as this place. It's as if someone went to the farmers market and got a bunch of fresh ingredients and made you a homemade breakfast of the highest quality. You cannot go wrong. Don't believe the haters, go enjoy some delicious breakfast.
