    Here for lunch? Get El Camino! Poached eggs on top of pulled pork with avocados and fried tortilla chips. Absolutely delicious. Don't forget to get some refreshing peppermint iced tea too!

    Definitely stop by this adorable space for some great eggs and an uplifting atmosphere. Very friendly service, I could stay here all day! Try the Avo & Egg if you want a fresh delicious breakfast.

    Excellent coffee, come here to grab a bite to go if it's too packed inside. Bacon Egg and Cheddar was brilliant. Almond milk flat white was also spot on. They actually do dinner too!

    I got the spandex bowl and it was light but very satisfying. The avocado toast looked so good! This place is very cute but gets slammed, so go on off hours to avoid a crowd.

    Try the Pepper Boy on the panini roll (or in a bell pepper): soft scramble jamón serrano, caramelized onion aioli & gruyere. Perfection.

    very good breakfast spot with a lot of egg choices (as you would guess from the name 😁). Poached eggs on avo sandwich was good, and i heard it's even better with English muffin!

    Egg Shop is a café on the Lower East Side that obsesses on eggs. Try the mayo-free, the egg salad sandwich ($10) comes on multi-grain toast with a thick slice of low-acid yellow tomato. Read more

    The Avo and egg is delicious. As is anything else on the menu. I could eat here every day and be happy. Small, cute little place with no reservations, so go early or expect a wait.

    I got the beast, and a biscuit with honey and butter. May have been too much food but it was sooooo tasty. Wish they had options for like adding jalapeños or something but tbh it was so good!

    Try the build-your-own sandwich ($7) available all day at the Egg Shop. A whitewashed, sunny little restaurant focused on all things eggy. Choose your egg style, bread, cheese, and sauce. Read more

    A place for all brunch lovers. Nothing but eggs, nothing but the best. Including a Bloody Mary with a bacon salt rim.

    The creations might sound odd (eggs with chocolate cream?) but they work. Filling, creative, delicious. Good coffee too. Don't bring much with you, because it's more than cozy inside.

    Make your own egg sandwich, with buttermilk biscuit rather than bread, and with tons of Chipotle Bourbon ketchup. I can't wait to come back.

    Small place, great gluten free options and well served plates. Steak and egg sandwich was delightful and the buttermilk biscuit very soft and moist. Great service

    Come with a friend. Get the egg salad sandwich (➕🐥) and the Fish out of Water splitty splitty style. And maybe an Arnold Palmer each if it's been a good quarter. You won lunch.

    Love love love! Go the el Camino bowl, hash browns, bacon, and a michelada! Not so neccesary but I recommend adding another egg to the bowl. Perfect brunch spot!

    If you're looking for a feast, get the egg salad sandwich with friend chicken or the steak and eggs sandwich. All Night Cruisers are good if you're looking for something a bit easier to eat

    Steak and egg sandwich was really good - delicious with a little spicy kick. I was also pleasantly surprised by the gluten free English muffin that I got it on - probably the best one I've ever had.

    Fried chicken is amazing! Get the egg shop bap w/ fried chicken. Egg salad sandwich is a bit bland but if you must make sure to add chicken. Come for anything but weekend brunch, good for dinner too!

    Egg sandwiches galore! Any of the pulled pork dishes are melt-in-your-mouth good. And don't skimp on the bacon-salt rim for your Bloody Mary!

    Fluffy eggs are hard to come by, but they nail it. Gluten free English muffins are delish, make your own egg sandwich and their sauces are amazing. Cozy, cute place.

    Get the B.E.C. It is amazing. The El Camino was good too but I can't stop thinking about the B.E.C. Skip the flat white here. Go to Two Hands if you want a flat white.

    Eggs eggs eggs! Wonderful egg dishes, my favorite is the spandex. For a place named egg shop I guess it's not that surprising that their fried chicken is also really good

    Cute decor, great vibe. On a weekday morning ~9:30am, you will be seated immediately without a wait. If hungry, I recommend 'El Camino': fried tortilla, poached egg, pulled-pork. A winning combination
