Montclair Egg Shop

First time here, just traveling g through. I enjoyed the Eggs Benedict & my husband had the scrambled Chorizo and eggs... Pretty darn tasty! Place was packed, yet service with a smile was fast! Love the fun rustic atmosphere too... If we lived here we'd definitely be back 👍

Came here on a whim with my bestie who lives in Oakland. We actually walked here from her house. The restaurant was in a cozy shopping area of Montclair. Lots of busy patriots all in the area, shopping and lining up to be seating for their fave restaurant. There is only all street parking so good luck. We waited about 30 plus min. It's easier and faster wait with only two people. The restaurant itself is small and not many large tables for groups. We both ordered their crab Benedict. It was pretty good. Decent price. Didn't get to try other things but wouldn't mind coming back to try other dishes. This is only open for brunch hours only. Service was very friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here. I won't mind coming back if in the area.

I’ve been to this place twice and always got the pesto crepe. The first time, the filling was a bit more generous. The taste was okay, but it wasn’t exactly mind-blowing. I went back with some friends a few weeks ago, and the filling was about 15% less than the last time I had it, which was around 2-3 months ago. Overall, I’d give it a 6/10, especially since you have to wait a bit during brunch hours on the weekends.

I’ve known about this place for years, just never thought much about going. Mainly because on the weekends, it is indeed crowded. However, myself and my dining companion got there just about 10:15 on Sunday morning. The place was busy! We got seated immediately! Glad we did! While we were there eating, it started to fill up with a lot with larger groups of folks waiting for tables. My companion had the Chilaquiles, which didn’t look like any Chilaquiles that I’m familiar with, having been to Mexico many times, but he thought they were good! I got the corned beef hash with two poached eggs. Very tasty. The server was surprised how fast we ate! We laughed and told her we’re both from big families, so we’re used to eating quickly. Plus, we’re not the type to linger, unless we’ve had cocktails or wine. Would recommend. Just be prepared to wait if there’s more than two of you on the weekends.

This place is great! The food was delicious, the staff was great, and the venue was really nice. The Blackstone Benedict was my favorite. It was an egg’s Benedict with bacon. They are so good at marking breakfast items here. The waffles and omelets were also delish! The only downside was the restaurant had only one bathroom so there would sometimes be a wait to get in.
