| - I have been looking for a go-to breakfast place in the area and finally came across Eggstasy on Yelp. A group of us met here on a weekday morning, and were fortunate to find seating immediately. The large interior was clean, with tables spread across the large floor coupled with great natural lighting. The ambiance was relaxed, casual, and the noise level was high. They have an enticing breakfast menu, with the support of a juice and espresso bar, and a kitchen that delivers an array of savory and sweet dishes.
The Heart Healthy Omelette ($10.95) was gigantic, with plenty of egg whites to wrap around an abundance of turkey, artichoke hearts, red onions, and low-fat cheese. The dish also included fresh fruit on the side to give breaks to the savory flavors. It was delicious, healthy, and satisfying.
The Red Velvet Cake French Toast ($9.95) was made with a dense and moist red velvet cake. However, the buttermilk flavor was hidden from the warm sweet icing that also competed with the chocolate shavings. All together, it was better than the version at Wildberry, but also very rich and too sweet for the morning.
Crispy Pancakes ($9.95) came with large in-your-face pancakes deep-fried to crisp that still carried a nice chew. It was served with a delicious caramel dipping sauce that nicely complemented the burnt crispy part of the pancake. It was highly addictive and I had to have the last bite.
Service was friendly and attentive. Santi and I tried to return on the following weekend, but the place was so packed that we decided to go elsewhere. As a lesson learned, interested diners should consider calling in ahead of time to get onto the wait list. To date, Eggstasy is my top place for breakfast and brunch in the area for its large portions, creative dishes, and unassuming ambiance. I would be interested in returning to try their Pumpkin Cheesecake Pancakes, Stuffed Brioche French Toast, and other Omelettes.
