First time eating here and it was excellent! The restaurant itself had a nice urban and modern vibe to it while the menu had great variety including many vegan and gluten friendly options. The avocado toast was very flavorful and the banana maple French toast was great as well. Service was a bit slow, but it was a busy Sunday morning so it was understandable. I will definitely be returning soon! read more

A new restaurant with a "few rough edges". Nice atmosphere and service, but the kitchen still seems to be getting its "act together". Why do I say this? Because everything in our breakfast order was served COLD. read more

Great food, great service. I had the eggs Benedict and wife had the waffles with apples. Simple but very nicely done. The space was clean and modern looking - excellent addition to downtown Bethlehem! Not sure why this place doesn't have a 4.5 to 5 rating and I originally was not going to go because of the rating - but sure glad I did. read more

Went here on a Wednesday and got seated right away, asked for a booth and they obliged. Ample seating in this cozy rustic eatery has a nice ambiance to it, lighting is soft booths are very comfortable. Service was good, though it took awhile from when we received our drinks to when our food arrived. Staff is very friendly and courteous. The prices are usually more than average here. Now, for the grub! I ordered the waffle which has stewed apples over it. It was good but not something I would order again, I just feel the batter was missing something. Best waffles I ever got were down the jersey shore at 3 C's!! The cappuccinos were strong and full bodied. My daughter ordered the salmon Benedict and she thought it was good but not awesome! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon here is Delicious!! The home fries are really good, comes with onions, and peppers and they are seasoned just right! We didn't even use salt or pepper! When you are finished you pay at the table they bring tablet up, I prefer this instead of paying as you leave like at Billy's diner. I would definitely return, however I think they should scale prices back a little in order to be successful! read more

We made a Father's Day brunch reservation. We were seated outside right away. The food and drinks came quickly! The food was fresh and delicious and the waiter was very friendly! read more

We went there for the first time the other weekend. Thankfully we had a reservation and were able to be seated quickly. This was the quickest part of our meal. We sat for 15 minutes waiting to be asked about our beverage order. I'm sure if I hadn't asked the manager we would have been there much longer. Our server took our order in crayon. The food came after 30 minutes of waiting. We had to ask for a beverage which was forgotten, syrup, and ketchup. I ended up going to another table to retrieve syrup because it had been over 10 minutes and our food was getting cold. We eventually got the rest of the items we had ordered. Our waiter never stopped to see how we were doing and would walk past our table with his head down so it was hard to get his attention. The food was mediocre and not worth the bad service. Believe all the reviews about the poor service! read more

Went in on a holiday Monday at around 12 for brunch. Place is very cute. Service was not great. I had to get up and get creamer from another table after asking the server for it. The server had to get another table their drink order even though we told him we were ready to order. I originally asked for the braised rib eggs Benedict and it wasn't until ten minutes later he came back to say there was no braised rib left. We ordered two classic Benedicts and the chicken and waffles. While waiting for our food we heard them run out of lemon, steak, kids cups, and ICE! When the food came the eggs were perfectly poached! The hollandaise had separated just a bit but tasted delicious. The potatoes were very good and came with some peppers and onion too. The chicken was not at all what we expected. It was a very flat piece of chicken breaded and over cooked. The gravy on top was just unnecessary and congealed . Those eggs Benedict were the only saving factor. We've been looking for some quality eggs Benedict. Service was not very attentive. The server forgot our order of two coffees and an Apple juice. He never came back around to check on us after we got our food and just left the check without asking if we wanted anything else. He did not charge us for our drinks probably because he could sense our disappointment. All in all I'd really have to be in the mood for eggs Benedict to go back read more

Everything was great from start to finish. I would recommend getting there early. On a 6 degree Saturday morning, we arrived at 9:00. By the time we left around 10:00, the line was out the door. Shalom was attentive, even bringing the tea selections to the table. We all enjoyed our food very much. I had the south of the border eggs Benedict, it had just enough kick from the chorizo and hollandaise to satisfy me. Keep up the good work, I'll be back in the future to try lunch! read more

The Flying Egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Excellent breakfast spot right on historic Main Street in Bethlehem. The place is super clean and bright. Great decor, and upbeat, friendly staff. The food is excellent, and good value for your dollar. If that wasn't enough......the coffee is some of the best in the Valley. A great coffee here provided by Baristi Coffee Roasters located just a few miles away in Allentown. Visited on a Friday morning and sat right down. Seemingly small when viewed from the outside, there is ample seating to accomadate small and large groups alike. Will certainly be adding The Flying Egg to my morning breakfast spot regular rotation. read more

What a huge disappointment!!!! The restaurants decor is absolutely adorable but it ends there. Food was awful...I could have cooked a breakfast a hundred times better in my own kitchen. First off why are you serving frozen sausage links and boxed bacon????? Disgusting. We were one of the first tables on Monday morning...only about 3 or 4 when we arrived. We waited 45 minutes for our food to arrive..I ordered Sunny side up eggs sausage links and wheat toast. Eggs were burnt on the bottom & the sausage links were black with the look of microwave cooking. I had to sent it back because the entire dish was inedible. My new dish arrived about another twenty minutes later (everyone I was dining with was finished with their meal). Sausage links looked a little better but the taste was not very good. Eggs were just edible that's about it. Only thing saving this place is our friendly server. Oh did I forget to mention the kitchen staff carrying uncooked purchased food through the restaurant on a hand cart...weird. There is a time in a restaurant this should happen during service is definitely not one of them. I am one to allow a restaurant with potential to work out the kinks then give it another try however I did find out this place is owned by the same owners of the Tapas restaurant on Main St. as well...makes sense. Less Than Mediocre food in a trendy area. I live in Bethlehem and the restaurants here are great...PLEASE don't waste your time here. Billy's and Hanover Diner are much more flavorful!!!! Get it together!!!! read more

amazing food for such a low price. the setting was so cozy and made it a really enjoyable experience for me and my friends.

We went in early like 930 (not super busy) stood at the host stand for 15 minutes before anyone would acknowledge us. I ordered the lemonade "sorry we're out" ok can I have the parfait "sorry we're out" ok can I have a fruit bowl... 3rd times the charm! I order one of their stirs with hollandaise and the food was good but I've never had a "gritty" hollandaise. Anyways for what it is I'm not impressed. Plenty of other breakfast spots that have been around for years and do it better read more

Huge breakfast for a great price love this place always good music playing and food is great

Went on a Saturday morning around 11. It was crowded and we had to wait 10 minutes but they called our cell phone to let us know they were ready for us. The tables are a little small and are pretty close together. It was very loud and it was hard to talk to my boyfriend. But the food was very good and we got a lot for the price. I like the idea of using a tablet to take orders read more

The Flying Egg - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

The food looks and taste delicious! My order was slightly messed up but as soon as I came back in the manager greeted me INSTANTLY and ensured that the issue would be fixed right away. The manager is extremely extremely nice as well as the staff he employs. Their hospitality exceeds expectations! Definitely going to give them business again! read more

This place is my Sunday brunch Mecca. The Bloody Mary's are so perfectly made it's ridiculous, the service is top notch and the food is really good. I usually order an avocado toast with an egg and a seasonal side salad, and my brunch buddy more often than not opts for the pork roll breakfast, both are exceptional. The atmosphere is cozy, and we almost always end up chatting with people at a nearby table which is especially fun during the holiday or festival season, when there are alot of out of towners on Main Street. Seriously, check this place out, but make a reservation -- walk-ins will usually find themselves waiting for a bit to be seated. read more

While visiting family in the area we where looking for a new breakfast location. The egg was suggested and off we went. Good coffee and the three of us all enjoyed our food. read more

The place is very cozy and the food was good but didn't knock my socks off for the price. Coffee was really good though and service was great. read more

Recently discovered this place through a Facebook post and the wife and I decided to give it a shot. Great place. It has a cool vibe to it and was very clean. Staff was very friendly. My wife and I ordered poached egg dishes. Hers included sausage and while I can't remember the name of the dish, I had a bite and it was delicious! I ordered the Rox Lox or something like that and I was loving it. Both came with potatoes and peppers. We each ordered cappuccino and I also had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Delicious all around. The bill came to 33 something and I left 40 bucks. Food was great and we'll be coming back. No formal dress code read more

Stopped in today and after waiting a half hour we left. While we were waiting there were 3 empty tables in plain sight. Didn't seem to be any logic to being made to wait. We were told they were "spacing out"; whatever that means. read more

We waited an hour for our food, which never came. Our waitress disappeared and never checked on us after delivering drinks and taking our order. We had to flag her down to get her attention. She was confused about why our food hadn't been delivered, and then disappeared in the kitchen. We waited another 15 minutes and left. Have had good experiences here in the past, but not today. No sign of a manager on duty. Better, cheaper places to eat nearby, including the Hotel Bethlehem. read more

The most remarkable thing about this place was the sight of a waiter balancing 3 plates on his arm and a set of decorative lamps. Trendy but pretentious, more attention to decor and ambiance than service or food. We were seated promptly and then completely forgotten. Our server took our coffee order after 15 minutes. My cappuccino arrived a little while later looking like someone spilled a bottle of cinnamon on it. I have never seen cinnamon being used on cappuccino before. If it was an experiment, it did not work. Moving on. My wife wanted the dutch baby pancake (also known as "worth the wait"), and our server told us it would take over 30 minutes and so she ordered the french toast instead. I went for the three meat skillet. 50 minutes later, after we had almost digested the inner linings of our stomachs, we politely asked our server about the status of our order. And this was after our server tried his very best to ignore our desperate beckonings for a long time. I mean, It was a Sunday. The place was not overtly busy. We could see several other customers twiddling their thumbs and wondering if their order was indeed forgotten. We had a vague suspicion that the french toast was being locally sourced from a region in France or perhaps my poached eggs that should arrive on the three meat skillet was still inside the chicken, waiting to be laid. After about an hour and a half (this is NOT an exaggeration), our food arrived. By this time, we were both considering walking out. Anyways, the food was most definitely NOT worth the wait. The poached eggs that came with my order were overcooked. I was robbed of the delight to watch the fresh egg yolk trickle over my meat and potatoes. There were supposed to be bacon, sausage and chorizo. Which by itself was a little strange, because chorizo is also a type of sausage. I could only see and taste small pieces of sausage. The bacon and chorizo if any were lost in oblivion. My wife's french toast was in quantity, impressive, but in taste quite pedestrian. And then we waited 20 minutes scraping our empty plates, till we finally decided to pay our check at the counter. Surprisingly we were told only our waiter can take care of our payment. Further confusion ensued when we were rescued by another server who finally gave us our check. In short, our visit to the flying egg was frustrating and very disappointing. Would I come back. A resounding NO! There are far better and less pretentious places that are tried and tested for us to waste another lovely Sunday morning here. read more

This place has great food. And I love the old building. We don't have these types of buildings in South Florida. I had "The Veg" & husband had the 3 meat benedict. Prices not bad. A little loud for our taste, but that's ok. Thanks Jerilyn for being a great server. read more

I was very hesitant about writing this review, but here I go.... I begged my family to go to this spot for my birthday, as I am new to the area and have heard great things about The Flying Egg. It took me about two weeks just to make a reservation, which was great indication that this place really had a reputation. Upon arrival, it was busy, very busy. I told the hostess my name and she sat us outside. 15 minutes later, no one came. A party of two sat down after us and had drinks/flatware before we did, it was like we weren't even noticed. Waiters and waitresses flew by my family and I, but not one even said hello or asked if we had been helped. I waited until about 30 minutes to finally approach someone because I was respectful to the fact that they were busy. The hostess was very kind and empathetic, in fact she came out to take my family's drink order. 20 minutes later....no drinks. No water, no coffee, no bloody mary's, no screwdriver. A waiter finally came to the table and proceeded to try and take our drink order again but we informed him that someone had already done so. As we waited, a different waiter came out to the table to try and apologize for it being 45 minutes without a drink/flatware on the table AND THEN proceeded to tell me that I should have seen a hostess before taking a seat outside. I kindly informed him that I had reservations made over a week in advance and that in fact, a hostess walked us out to our table. In return, he said, "well sorry, there is nothing I can do for you from here. We just received a party of 15 and I have been giving them all of my attention." At this point, none of us are happy and that was not the response you should probably tell a family that has gone unnoticed for almost an hour. Now, an hour into brunch, someone brings out two bloody mary's. As she places them on the table we specified if one of them was non-alcoholic, she said "no" and left the two at the table and went to retrieve a virgin bloody mary for my mother. At this point, we are here for ONE HOUR and FIFTEEN MINUTES, we FINALLY received drinks and a brunch order was taken. Our food came out, it was delicious, we all were pleased with what we got. But as soon as food was dropped off, they ran away...no one asked if we needed condiments like sugar, creamer, syrup, butter, and ketchup were not supplied. The hostess/manager at the front comped our drinks, which I was thankful for, she was very kind. But in the end, I do not think two free alcoholic drinks makes up for the worst service I have ever had. It brings me such disappointment to write this review (and it's my first ever yelp review). I know this facility is busy, but my family and I did not have a pleasant experience at this establishment. I feel as though with multiple employee interactions we had, no one seemed to even care. So unfortunately I will never come back, this ruined all of the lovely things I have heard about The Flying Egg. read more

Went on a rainy late morning last Saturday. Thought it was going to be very crowded, but the wait was only about 10 mins for 3 people. A++++ service. The eggs benedict was so so so good. THe bacon was made perfectly. My friend and her son both enjoyed their breakfasts. The Mocha was delicious. The server was so friendly. I will definately be back there. read more

My friend and I loved this restaurant! We went on a Tuesday morning, so no wait (though we did hear that weekends are very hard to get in). Every staff person from our waiter to the waiter who greeted us to the manager went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Our breakfasts were delicious, with special mention due to the home fries which were outrageous! Home fries for me are usually just a minor sidenote, but in this restaurant they were a starring feature! The ambience is charming, and our experience was great. Will definitely return on our next visit to the area read more

if you go here, make sure you eat first. the wait for a table and the service take forever. the food is really good but not good enough to make up for the bad service. read more

Left before we were helped. Took to long for anyone to acknowledge we were there. Place was not busy at the time.

The food is subpar (for which we waited far too long for), it's also over priced (8 oz of orange was $4.50) and they don't have a great selection of food. Overall the place is eh, nothing impressive. read more

Sat got 15-20 minutes. Did not get any acknowledgement or service. We left and manager did not even apologize. Went to People's Kitchen.. Not as Fancy but, great service and food. read more

I waited 90 minutes for 5 glasses of water and tator tots split between my partner and I. 90 minutes!!!!!! Enough was enough so we told them to cancel our food and give us the check. To be fair, the manager said we didn't have to pay for anything and we tipped out the goodness of our hearts but my god! 90 minutes and tator tots came out after 60 minutes. It's laughable. What a waste of time. Not coming back. All of the tables were gossiping about how bad the service was. read more

Great food, but get your sh*t together. Consistently waiting for coffee refills and an obnoxious time for breakfast food. It just seems like this restaurant is never prepared for the only two days they should be prepared for. read more

This was our first time at the flying egg and was hoping for a good meal. It was a flying flop! We had to wait for a table for 2. It was about 20 minutes which was no big deal. The place was super busy. We ordered the works omlete and the three meat skillet. Everything looked yummy until we went to eat the food. My skillet eggs were ice cold and the potatoes warm luke warm at best. The skillet wasn't even hot. My friends omlete was hot and her potatoes were also luke warm. She didn't like that the cheese was on the outsie of the omlette. I guess all of our food was being held hostage for her omlete. We told our server about our meals and he sent the manager over. The server and the manager offered to remake my meal. I declined as it took a long time as it was. So I had nothing to eat. Lucky me as I 100% disliked my meal and they took 50% off our total bill. We only ordered meals no sides or beverages. I over heard the people at the table next to us. They didn't get everything that they ordered and asked for the items to be removed from the bill. I won't be in a flying hurry to return. As other reviewers posted, there are a lot better places to eat in Bethlehem. read more

This is the second time I have been unsatisfied with the service here. The staff is very unfriendly. I don't think I saw one person smile. It was a very cold environment. I went for brunch with my 18 yr old daughter. They asked us several times if we had reservations, after we already put our name in. The front desk told us someone else would help us when they answered the phone,and then they all just stared at us. We asked to wait in the back bar area, and then they told us we can eat there rather than a table. We left prior to even ordering. Previous experience that I was hoping was just a one time issue, it took at least 20-30 minutes to get our check. When we went up to ask the manager to pay for it , she said she could not run it. We were told only the wait staff could. We were advised to wait back at our table. When we sat back down, we had other people's used plates, cups and silverware on our table. That was quite unsanitary. I am very disappointed in this place. As a local person I will not be going back or recommending this place to anyone. read more

I wish I could give this place a better review. Don't get me wrong, I plan on coming back when they have a few more months of operation under their belt but my experience was lacking in more ways than one. The hostess seemed like she had no idea what was going on and didn't greet us when we walked in. They were busy, I get it, she was probably stressed. The wait time was 45 minutes on a Saturday morning - totally understandable. Main Street has been aching for the perfect little brunch place for a long time! Once seated, it took almost 15 minutes for our server to bring us water. Then, another 10 minutes for coffee and juice. The menu itself was promising and the selections seem robust and exactly what you have in mind for breakfast/brunch so we were really pleased. But extremely displeased with the actual food. The french toast was soggy in the middle and there was zero garnish. Not even a leaf of something. Seemed empty and unfinished. The eggs benedict was even less satisfying. The english muffin was burned and that ruined it for me. The eggs were poached well. My dining mate ordered the bacon and said all she could taste was over-fried oil. The plates, though beautiful and complimenting of the decor, were HUGE. There was no room on our table for two waters, one coffee, one juice, two plates and condiments. Our server was basically non-existent and we had to ask someone else for our bill and then that person took care of it. The decor was really perfect; clean, classy. Loved the mugs as light fixtures. As for the service and food it def needs some work. I'm going to give them a second chance in a few months because there has to be some potential here. read more

after ordering the steak and eggs I received a 5oz burnt piece of what looked to be flank steak, I immediately asked to see the manager only to find out he was the one that delivered this to me. I asked if this looked correct to him and his response was "well it is only $13.00 and he has no control over the kitchen . when our party of 6 were finished eating to my surprise the meal was left on the ticket, even though I did not eat the steak after asking for the manager again he said ok I will remove the charge. poorly ran and the food was well below average I have had better at 3 in the morning at a waffle house or I hop. read more

This definitely was the most disappointing experience I have had at the Flying Egg or any resturaunt ever. It was disappointing because I have been here multiple times before and usually the food is good as well as the service. I am not usually one to complain about food but this was not a good experience and will most likely not be returning. I went out with a group of friends, for the 4 of us we waited almost an hour for our food which then came out cold and missing ingredients. The avocado toast was soggy, the potatoes were cold, the eggs had clearly been sitting for awhile and the cheese was not melted on any of the omelettes. Tables that were seated well after us, ordered their food after us got their food before us and were basically finished before we received ours. When we respectfully brought up our concerns to the waitress she was kind and respectful and said she would talk to her manager. The manager refused to come talk to us or even apologize or compensate for the wait time and the poor quality of food. The manager "did not want to do anything about it" according to the waitress, so she kindly took the coffees off of our bills but it did not take away from the horrible experience and the terrible, cold food. I have never been to a restaurant where the manager does not come to the table to make sure their customers are happy. I have worked in the food business and it should be the managers top priority to make sure the customers are happy. I recommend going somewhere else extremely extremely disappointed!! read more

This restaurant was very good the first couple times I've had breakfast here! However, this morning the waitress came to the table and mentioned they were "out of pancakes, waffles, strawberries" and probably a few other things. How can a breakfast joint be "out of pancakes"? Ridiculous!!! The food was served, I had the classic eggs Benedict which was fine although the potatoes were like a half portion (were they running out of them too?) and WAY too salty. My wife had no complaints about her veggie Benedict. However, my daughter had the French toast which was TERRIBLE as far as French toast is concerned. They 3 pieces were basically toasted bread with hardly any egg on it at all. Again, really a let down for this breakfast "boutique". Very dissatisfied with the food this time. Service was great, if anything, she was embarrassed to say they were out of half of their breakfast foods. As we were leaving the place the manager or owner showed up carrying 2 packages of pancake mix, so obviously they don't even make their own pancakes either! Frauds. I'm done with the flying egg. read more

Boutique Diner at it's best. Crazy busy on weekends, try to visit during the week! The food is delicious and the staff is so pleasant.

I'm giving this 5 stars because I want it to stay in business! It's a cute restaurant that's a perfect fit for Main Street. We had breakfast for 4 on a busy Saturday morning. The food took awhile and wasn't piping hot, but it was delicious. I'm sure the quirks of the slower service and timing of the meals are due to the restaurant being new. I have high hopes for this place and will be back! read more
