Editorial Review

Tucked above Tallahassee’s downtown bustle, The Egg Cafe & Eatery is a sunlit haven for breakfast purists and brunch adventurers alike. The elevator ride up sets the stage for a laid-back, airy space with both indoor and outdoor seating—ideal for lingering over coffee or plotting out the day. The menu reads like a love letter to classic American comfort: towering pancakes that dwarf your plate, grits skillets loaded with local Bradley’s sausage, and omelets as inventive or traditional as your mood dictates. Here, locals gather for a slow weekend start, debating biscuit vs. English muffin with vigor; out-of-towners chase the promise of crabcake Benedicts and bananas foster French toast worth the detour. Service leans friendly and attentive even when the kitchen’s humming. While finding parking in Kleman Plaza might test your patience, it’s quickly forgotten once you’re savoring that first bite with a mimosa in hand. More than just a breakfast joint, The Egg is where Tallahassee’s community stories unfold—one skillet at a time.
