| - This place is right near my house so I finally got up early and tried it out before school today. It's a cute place, not too big. Only four tables (w/ 4 chairs each) and about 10 seats at the counter on the inside. Several tables outside.
I grabbed a spot at the counter and just went simple and had the two eggs and bacon breakfast. The bacon was really good, but only got two pieces. The scrambled eggs weren't great. Just some cheap egg mix with little taste. Toast was a big serving, but lukewarm and they carry a generic and tasteless jelly brand to go with it. The big disappointment was the hash browns. They're thick (almost doughy) and very bland. And I'll be damned if I eat bland hash browns with my breakfast! That's a little dramatic, but I do love my morning hashbrowns. For $7, I don't really feel the meal was worth it. Looking at the other prices on the menu, it seems most items are about $2-$3 more than you'd see at other breakfast joints. And I had some ice tea, which is a green tea that they serve. It was standard issue stuff. It tasted just like the green iced tea Einstein's bagels serve.
I'll probably go back and try a bacon and cheese omelette at some point since I can't get my perfectly-made omelettes at the old Eggery on 44th st anymore. But until I make it back to try an omelette, I'll stick with The Good Egg/Eggery locations when I want breakfast due to their portions, prices, and (from what I can compare of the two) superior food.
But like I said it's a cute place, near my house, and the staff is friendly and awake without being freakishly perky that early. But don't get too wrapped up in the Yelp hype...this is a 3-star place at best.
