This was a hit amongst all four of us who visited last week. Fantastic staff, fab service, great food and talk about some delicious (though pricey) coffee. It was exactly what we needed to cure the prior nights debaucheries. Note that it is a small venue and you will likely be waiting for about 20-30 min but sooo worth it.... More

one of the best place in Williamsburg and Brooklyn for a good breakfast with hight quality products. Everything is nice : food, service and the place. Really a lovely place to begin a good day. The buttermilk biscuits are also very good.

This is the 2nd time we have eaten at Egg while visiting Williamsburg. The wait was agreeable given it was 9 AM on Memorial Day Monday. A different, organic style restaurant with good breakfast food. Plates aren't huge but you get enough. The French press coffee is really good but at $9 bucks a container, you get about 3 1/2... More

It seems I always forget to review Breakfast places. Lunch and Dinner I never forget but Breakfast always slips by. This place is sort of an ole faithful in the area. Its absolutely delicious (the whole menu) and will get your day started in the right direction. Love the pancakes. Super FRESH!! Thanks for the extra crispy edges Brigitte Grisanti... More

We caught the subway from Midtown just to eat here on Saturday morning and we weren't disappointed. We wrote our name on the waiting list and it was probably only 15 mins before we were seated, we were a party of 2 and shared a table with another group of 3 but that didn't bother us. The french press coffee... More

Came here on a whim seeking something tasty but mainly to blast away a hangover. Small wait in the lobby area before, with putting your name on a list a good idea to avoid squabbling. The meal did the job, with the delicious eggs Rothko and interesting country scrapple. Had tried neither before but both were a pleasure, in particular... More

A cozy place near Bedford avenue, but get here early because it fills up quickly! Service was on point & very friendly. Their signature breakfast dish Eggs Rothko is awesome, their hashbrown is very unique almost like a potato croquette but stuffed with shredded potato,The scrambled eggs were the lightiest & fluffiest I ever tasted, & the bacon was yummy,...
