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.

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.

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!

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.

I finally found my favorite breakfast & brunch place! Both of food and service are beyond my expectations and literally surprised me!

We tried their signature dishes, pork belly bowl, boom boom chicken, and green onion pancake! None of them will disappoint you! I love Taiwanese foods and first bite of pork belly reminded me of my trip to Taiwan! Chicken is crispy and good amount of portion!

So many drink options as well. We ordered strawberry smoothie and hazelnut latte, both are so good! I want to try their seasonal special drinks!

I took my 2 years old daughter, and all the setups for kids are better than any other places I’ve been to. High chair, kids plate and utensils, plastic cup with lid and straw, drawing pad, and stickers!

I will definitely take my friends and family here next time.

Thank you Carrie and all the friendly and professional staffs over there. You guys made my day will be back soon!!

Dropped in for a birthday brunch. Service was amazing and went with the chocolate espresso french toast and my husband went with the smoked salmon eggs benedict. Every element of the dishes were impeccable, from the French toast bread to the rich custard cream, each ingredient was well done, bringing the dish together for an indulgent entree.

Husband loved the lilikoi dressing for his green salad and practically licked his plate clean. They offered for us take a coffee to go which was a nice touch to the end of our breakfast.

10/10; will return 100%.

Overall good experience! Food was good, service was great, nice and lively ambiance. I love how they can do smaller portion on a lot of items for half the price, making it easier to sample more items off the menu!

Husband and I came here for brunch on a Sunday, and we ordered couple items to try for our first time. Egg benny is my jam, and I just always end up judging a new spot by their egg benny… so we got their real crab egg benny, chocolate banana French toast (small), real crab omelette and a crème brûlée latte.

The benny eggs were cooked perfectly. The crab cake was made of real crab but something about the taste and the texture being a little off. Not sure what that was. What I didn’t like was the bread at the bottom. I’m not a fan of sourdough. And the bread wasn’t incorporated into the whole dish. It’s like eggs with sauce and crab cake sitting on top of 3 pieces of French sourdough bread. I don’t know. It’s just a little strange to me. I ended up eating everything on the plate except the bread.

The French toast was thoroughly enjoyed by my husband who always has a sweet tooth for breakfast. But strangely he also ordered the real crab omelette. I think he ordered that for me perhaps because I mentioned I wanted to try it too. 😛 so I did try it, and I gotta say it tasted pretty good. (I normally don’t order omelette coz I can make a pretty good one myself at home.) I liked the cheese they put on top! Also loved their criss cut fries. So good. (Extra $3.50)

The chocolate banana French toast thing was devoured in less than 5 mins. It’s savory and sweet at the same time. Hubby said he should’ve ordered the full portion haha!

Their Vietnamese coffee was a bit too sweet and just didn’t taste right. Not a fan.

Finally, the item I enjoyed the most was actually the tiramisu latte. I normally don’t drink coffee, but I just felt like getting one that day, and this one that I tried was goooood. Well-balanced flavor with tiramisu that I could taste.

Service was great. Very friendly server and she also offered as pepper, hot sauce, etc. normally I always have to flag someone down for it.

The value was meh. We ended up spending $100 for 2 people for breakfast and nothing I had was extraordinary. Don’t get me wrong, it tasted good, but I’m just not sure if it’s worth dropping $50 pp for it b

There’s a waitlist you can join by scanning the QR code at the door. Plenty of parking in the lot – same lot as ahi & vegetables in kalihi.

Is it worth the wait? It depends who you ask! Our wait was 35 minute long for 2 people. There’s an Asian supermarket behind the block to kill time, I suppose.
