Crema's Take

Egghead is a beloved neighborhood brunch destination where espresso craftsmanship meets thoughtful breakfast fare, earning consistent praise for smooth, creative drinks like their tiramisu latte and inventive pastries. The welcoming, attentive staff and slow-paced cafe vibe make it ideal for lingering over coffee and conversation, though you'll want to arrive early or reserve ahead since their intimate seating fills up quickly with regulars and word-of-mouth devotees.

So enjoyed our brunch today at Egghead! My smoked Salmon Benedict was perfectly poached and flavored. I’ve come many times and always have my favorite avocorn toast. So glad I tried something new today! Lavender Latte is the BEST!

Mom and I ate there for the first time after hearing a few raving reviews from friends. Went on a weekday morning, didnt have a wait time. Server was super kind, very informative, and patient in explaining menu options. We went during their anniversary month so the specials were heavily discounted but top notch quality. I loved the avo-corn toast while mom who normally only eats half a benedict, devoured the benedict she ordered (dont remember what kind). We split the banana brulee french toast order. All eats and drinks were so ONO! I highly recommend.

Food, drinks, atmosphere and service were all great. You do have to wait until one of their 2 tables for larger groups opens up if you hadn’t made reservations the day prior or before and it’s strictly breakfast/brunch hours. Staff are efficient and friendly, the food well prepared/inventive, gluten free and vegan options. I had the Chorizo Spice omelette which came with a mixed greens salad and toast, along with a Mac Nut Latte. Enjoyed them both. Another in our party had the regular benedict and thought it was good, but a bit bland. I liked the atmosphere, but it was on the louder side.

Went to this cafe and tried the tiramisu latte and the choco creme brulee french toast. The latte was really good, super smooth and tasty. The french toast was alright, nothing crazy, and honestly for twenty dollars it felt a little lacking. My friends got the eggs benedict and said it was good, and they also tried the pancake trio, which they said was just okay. For me, the place felt a bit overpriced, but the food wasn’t bad at all. It tasted good, just not worth the eighty dollars we ended up spending. The wait times were long too if you want full service, so we went with their self-serve section since we were on a time crunch. Overall, it’s a decent spot if you want a cute cafe vibe and tasty drinks. Nothing was horrible, but it didn’t blow me away either. I’d probably come back for the coffee but skip the pricey french toast next time.

It was okay, I wouldn't go out of my way for it. The server was super nice, the food was meh/ok. No salt&pepper on the tables, no butter on the toast, had to ask for both. By the time we caught the wait staff attention to get butter for pancakes and toast and salt & pepper for the eggs both were cold. Trying to spread cold butter on cold toast is always frustrating. The waffle fries came out fresh but also unsalted. They were super nice answering questions about shellfish allergy and safe menu options and made sure the kitchen was aware.
