Great location and food. Must have if your in downtown Calgary. I love it here!!!!!

OEB gave the wrong order to us! Additionally there drinks sucked! I vomited upon returning to my apartment. This was 3 years ago btw. Probably better now tbh read more

Reserve early it's a busy place but worth it. Sweet or savoury it has it all. Coffee is also an excellent brew. I ordered CROQUE MADAME Amazing. I cannot wait to return. read more

I have always loved OEB and their new location is great. It is much larger and has a lot more seating available and the decor is really nice, it has a open happy feel to it. I do use the Nowait app to see their wait times and put myself in line. OEB is one of the best places to get brunch/breakfast in Calgary, they have quality food, great service and their menu has so much to choose from. My favourite is the Confit duck and eggs and it comes with perogies! so good! read more

Probably the best brunch spot I've been to. I was on a quick layover for work and decided to come check out OEB. The decor is nothing short of charming with big egg shaped booths. You feel like you're in a nest while enjoying your boozy brunch. I had the Lox eggs Benny prepared over a crispy croissant with home fries fried in duck fat. (What is life right now?) paired with a grapefruit mimosa and their Caffè Umbra drip coffee which was deliciously smooth! The only thing I wished I would have done is ordered less spinach on the eggs Benny as it was a tad slimy but otherwise everything was absolutely delectable! 10/10 recommend! read more

Wow, the food here was amazing. Huge portions, great menu with so many options. What a lovely way to start the day. Highly recommend.

Great brunch spot. The mugs need to be replaced as both of ours were chipped and logos had faded. Food was tasty!

Are there 6 stars to choose from? Amazing, delicious, perfect and what a great Sunday to start off. read more

I loved the Ambience of this place and the server was really friendly. I ordered Soul in a Bowl and a Hot choclate. The server told me that there might be a lot of potatoes in the Bowl so she suggested i do half potato and half spinach . I went ahead with her suggestion and did not regret one bit. Loved the food, the ambience and the server. What more does one need !!! read more

Amazing drink and good menu and great service. We've been to two locations and they were both fantastic.

Overwhelmed by the delicious breakfast meals every time I ate the dishes of perfect breakfast. I'd give it a bug ten stars.

OEB is a favourite choice for breakfast, even with some suggestions. Although I was saddened by my favourite plate Breakfast In Tuscany dish no longer being offered - it was the attitude of the server that struck a chord. We had a larger group (6 people) but that shouldn't have altered the attitude of our server. Prices are on the higher end ($$) It also wasn't a bonus that we had to wait an hour and a half on a weekday for a table. Will still come back due to favourable plates but would love to see an improvement read more

I really love this restaurant even though their prices are high especially considering it's just breakfast and you can make that at home for pennies... But after all you could probably make that argument for almost any restaurant. However I won't take away any stars because the amazing quality waitresses make up for it. Plus this location is lucky enough to have a beautiful patio with gorgeous plants and planters and flowers and ivy. Really everything you would ever want in a garden patio except unfortunately there is some car exhaust but it's pretty far away so it probably won't affect you. Thank you so much, we can't wait to enjoy your patio again in the spring!!!!! read more

Great breakfast. The Don't even go there crepe was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

My new favourite Breakfast Joint. Discovered by accident as it's next to my buddy's Salon Zuhair. Been there a half dozen times now and not once disappointed. Worth the out of the way travel for excellence in cuisine . I go there even when I don't need my " Do" done All the staff (Sylvia's my fave ) are friendly and service leaves you feeling special with the Coffee always topped up. read more

Delicious! Got here at 1:30 and had no wait since they close at 2pm. Super friendly staff, fast service and amazing food. I had the Holy Crab! benedict with the twice fried potatoes (must have). Boyfriend had French toast with eggs and Canadian bacon. We both cleared our plates. Wish we had more days in Calgary to try more of their menu. read more

One of YYC's favourite breakfast joints for sure, and the line on the weekend is a great confirmation that this is where people are going for brunch. As the other reviewers say use the No Wait app to get yourself in live before you go and then check in with the hostess when you arrive closer to when you know there will be a table for you. No one likes being hangry in the morning. The decor is very cute here, all egg themed and kitschy, the atmosphere is something I really enjoy. Now the menu is HUGE, most OEB regulars have found their go-to items and order them time and time again but for first timers it can be hard to make a decision. Lots of options for everyones tastes though, the bowls are very popular and a solid choice if you're having trouble deciding. read more

Our first visit to this amazing place in Calgary! Finding it was a little bit of a hassle but the phenomenal service and excellent food and ambience soon made us forget. They seated our large group of 6 with reservations in a super easy manner. Got us hot coffee (extra hot) and juice quickly. Everything we ordered crepes to waffles to box poutine was delicious and well presented! Can't wait to go baxk read more

Like trying new breakfast locations. Found this restaurant and saw it had been on check please. It's off the beaten past. However when we got there people were waiting outside. Usually a good sign. We wound up eating at the counter, which was fun as we watched all the fresh orange juice being made. I had the veggie hash with eggs and my partner has the biscuits, gravy and eggs with a side of bacon and juice. Food came quickly and portions were enormous. Everything was delicious. This is a fun place with a surf motif. (Kind of Jimmy Buffet) read more

Ordered an omelette, this is what I got. I ordered about 5/10 minutes before the store closed- And the girl on the phone was so rude to me... She probably just wanted to close so an extra customer wasn't what she wanted but that doesn't mean that you can be rude...so about 1:50 PM I called and Most takeout places have my order ready within 10 to 15 minutes regardless and I don't think they close at exactly 2... I also ordered sides that never came and sauce that never came either this is just f***n SAd!!!!!!!!! TERRIBLE PLACE TO ORDER FROM AND THE GIRL WAS SO RUDE!!!! read more

Eggs Benedict was out of this world, excellent coffee as well. Friendly efficient service. We'll be returning

The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. The wait time was minimal considering it's a week after stampede. I had the shrimp and lobster crepe with sides of potatoes fried in duck fat, grilled heirloom tomatoes and spinach. Yum! read more

This is a great place to go for breakfast, my friends loved it! The decoration is egg themed with lots of yellow and white colors nicely put together. The reservation is done through Yelp or the No wait app. It is a very popular place, we had to wait for 90 mins on a Saturday morning so we planned our morning accordingly. We got a text once our table was ready. Lots of items in the menu and from what I saw, all of them very tasty. Be aware that for groups of 6 ppl or more, there will be a 18% gratuity added to the bill. read more

Just like all the people in Calgary, their staff here are extremely polite! My waitress was Leighsha, she gave her honest opinion about food - whether or not it was too much for me, recommended the egg's benedict with boar speck (even giving me a sample of the boar speck, in case I didn't like it!) and held a friendly conversation! The restaurant's atmosphere and environment were cool and chill for breakfast and brunch! Had a great time. read more

Outstanding breakfast. We had the breakfast poutine and went went there again. Highly recommended!

What a nice surprise... Came to Calgary for the weekend and my friends suggested this restaurant. The reservation was done via yelp. It was easy and simple. The decor is colourful, warm, and very hip. We shared our table with another group. The place was full but it was not noisy to not permit us to conversate. The food was so good. Well presented and very tasty. I had a rabbit Benny with salad. It was beautifully presented. The flavours were fresh and we'll combined. I think it is one great meal to start my day. I finished it all. The service was good.. There were a bit of a mixed up with the bill and when bringing the plates but I think it was related to the waitress being new. Overall it is recommended and I will be back for sure when in Calgary. I hope they come to Edmonton soon. read more

This was a great hidden breakfast place. The service was fantastic, the atmosphere was inviting. My only complaint is to go easy on the omelette fillings. I ordered the Vegetable Primavera scramblette and the veggies really took away from the taste of the fresh eggs they are proud of. read more

What a happening place! Busy with lots of energy in the air to match the wonderful smells! We were a large group and the food was terrific. Everyone raved about their choices. The smoked salmon and the shrimp and lobster crepe are fabulous. The service was exceptional with competent and thoughtful staff caring for the table and its requests. Parking was easy and a reservation made entry a piece of cake. Kudos to Kory and his fabulous staff! read more

This is probably the most popular spot for brunch. There was a wait on a Monday morning, but host over estimates the time, so don't be discouraged. I tried two breakfast poutines, the chorizo meatball and the roasted pork. Both were really good, but I liked the roasted pork more. Their hollandaise sauce is amazing!! I wish I had more of it to dip my fries in. Overall, a good brunch spot and I wish I had time to try more of their dishes. read more

My meal was a joke. The crepe was disgusting and rubbery, eggs weren't seasoned, potato's were undercooked and wet. Very disappointed and I definitely will not be ordering again. Go to Reds Diner instead! read more

If you love eggs as much as I do this is the place to be. Eggs to me are a way of life, and in our household we seriously eat over a dozen per week. OEB has perfected the egg craft, and there is no place I'd rather brunch at. Every egg that comes out of that kitchen is cooked to perfection. You cannot go wrong with the menu. I'm a huge fan of eggs Benedict and they have so many savory varieties to choose from. If you want in on this great place I recommend using No Wait (an app) to get in line while you're still at home because on weekends this place can take 1-2 hours to get into. Because they are so busy sometimes the service can be a little slow, but if you're brunching what's the rush!? To anyone visiting you have to check this place out, for anyone that lives here you haven't lived properly if you haven't dined here for brunch! read more

Excellent breakfast, always good food and very popular spot that I love to visit. Highly recommended.

Very busy place, and the service was a little slow at first, but really picked up and at the end of it all, was enjoyable. We will be brining friends, and family, we think this place is awesome for the food. read more

Really good breakfast! Had a breakfast bowl and the coffee was great too! We also had a delicious omelette !

These are the nicest, sweetest people on Earth. I walked into OEB ( the 222 5 Ave SW location) on a Saturday morning. I was lost and running late for an appointment, and my GPS kept bouncing me around, giving me the wrong directions. Even though the place was packed and the staff were very busy, they all immediately listened and tried to help me. They were so friendly and genuine. A lovely lady named Kat (short for Katherine) went so far as to walk me to my car ( which was parked several blocks away) and repeated her directions (which were excellent, by the way) from where my car was parked. I am so grateful to Kat and her wonderful coworkers. If the food is one tenth as good as the people (and judging by the crowds, I'm sure it is), no one will be disappointed. Even though I live far from OEB, I can't wait until I go there for breakfast, and see these amazing people again. Thank you so much from Teresa. read more

Everyone that made the original location great makes this new one even greater! A brighter and much larger location with great staff and service! I'll admit though that when the boss isn't working the food can be a bit of a miss sometimes. The pancake this last time came out a bit undercooked and doughy, though it can be forgiven since I do know that it's normally the crispiest and best pancake I've ever had. Due to being a regular Scott (the manager) does go out of his way to make sure we're seated in a timely manner no matter how busy it is. OEB will probably always be my favorite breakfast/brunch joint in Calgary! If you've never gone, you must go! This location is so much better than the original even if the parking is terrible downtown on a weekday! read more

Sometimes my son wakes up at the crack of dawn. This is our go-to breakfast place when he does so momma can enjoy a coffee and a duck box'd and he can enjoy his gluten free toast and jam with eggs. Did I mention they accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free diets? It's great. I'm usually there quite early so there is a minimal, if any, wait. But the thing with breakfast/brunch on weekends is the WAIT. Pre-kids, I have waited HOURS for lunch, which seems ridiculous now. Luckily, they have a wonderful system where you can put your name down and they'll text you when your table is ready. I need this location to have hours as good as their Edmonton Trail location because when my son wakes up really really really really really early, I have to drive all the way over to Edmonton Trail because they open a bit earlier than their downtown location. read more

The food is always great and consistent! Atmosphere is really nice, but sometimes the service is hit or miss.

Great open vibe and the food reflects the atmosphere well. There are a good number of great breaks spots in Calgary, and OEB is as good if not better than most of them. Any breakfast dish is worth checking out, as all are tasty and good value. The service is fast-paced and friendly, and will help cement a desire to return. Enjoy and return... read more

This place was so interesting and yummy! There were egg shaped booths to sit in and lots of egg related artwork on the walls. As a egg lover, I really enjoyed the way that they chose to decorate the restaurant! Haha I went here on a weekday morning around 10 am so there was no lineup. Its apparently really busy on weekends though so maybe try for a weekday if you can. There are a lot of items on the menu so it was a hard decision but in the end I chose a Box'd option - the A-Lott A-Lox. This comes with poached eggs, cured salmon, dill, cheese curds, caper, and hollandaise sauce on a bed of potatoes or spinach. I chose to have half spinach and half potatoes (trying to be kind of healthy here), in a bowl instead of a to go box. You could also choose to add avocado, or mushrooms to this dish if you wanted. I really liked this dish! The dill was a great flavour to the hollandaise sauce and the eggs were perfectly poached. It was also really filling with the amount of food that they give you. The price is comparable to other breakfast and brunch places as well. To drink, I got one of the daily feature lattes which was a chocolate mint mocha today - yumm! I was really impressed with this place! On their menu, it says that their eggs are locally sourced (they own a flock of hens) and free run which is awesome! As I was leaving I noticed a couple having dessert crepe and waffle so definitely will need to come back to try that out. read more
