Oh, let me tell you 'bout a sandwich so fine, A feast for your taste buds, a true delight to dine. At Egghead Sando Cafe, a place oh so grand, I discovered a treasure that was truly unplanned. "The Chic" is its name, a fried chicken wonder, Nestled in a brioche bun, a treat to ponder. Crispy chicken, golden brown, cooked just right, With arugula's bite, it's a flavor-filled fight. But that's not all, my friend, oh no, there's more, A medium boiled egg, nestled and adored. Creamy and luscious, adding richness supreme, Each bite like a dream, a foodie's fondest theme. Drizzled with sauce, a secret recipe so divine, The flavors dance together, in harmony they align. A symphony of tastes, a melody of pleasure, "The Chic" will leave you longing for another measure. So heed my words, my dear, and make haste, Visit Egghead Sando Cafe, don't let it go to waste. Indulge in "The Chic," a sandwich like no other, A culinary adventure, a feast for a sister or brother. In the style of Dr. Seuss, I do declare, "The Chic" is a gem, a sandwich beyond compare. So venture forth, my friend, and give it a try, Let your taste buds fly, reach for the sky! Yes, highly recommend the sandwich. Delicious and a very generous size for the price. Two people could probably share.

I’ve experienced EggHead Sando about a dozen times and every time it’s been fantastic. Fresh, hot, delicious, made to my order goodness. The bacon, sausage, chicken-all good. My favorite is the chicken breakfast sando-crispy, crunchy, fabulous and sandwiched between Sweet buttery warm buns and packed into a box two sizes too small for the sando. Great face presentation. I prefer the tater tots over the waffle fries and they’re equally tasty. Coffee drinks and such are good. Parking is easy strip mall.

I was craving for an egg sando I had in Japan and found this place through Google search. However, despite its name, this cafe does not have Japanese style egg sando. We ordered 'The scramble' and 'Eggy'. They are both quite good. The store front is designed for self-service & to-go order. There are only a few tables inside and plenty of outdoor seating.

Highly recommend the BEC breakfast sandwich. The buns are so soft yet deliciously toasted. Do not recommend the Side Chick unless you like wiggly chicken thighs.

If you like egg sandwiches, this is the place to go! All of them sound tasty! They have a drink selection as well, and I wanted to order them all. I had the Hawaiian Morning (Over medium egg, spam, arugula, Grilled onion with house sauce in a warm brioche bun.) It met my expectations! I really enjoyed the sandwich. The brioche bun tastes fresh, and the egg and spam taste good together. The house sauce is like Thousand Island dressing with a kick. For my drink, I got the Passion fruit and orange green tea. It reminded me of the Jasmine Sunrise from Tastea (which Tastea doesn't carry any more). I also enjoyed the drink (I liked the one at Tastea). I would come again, and I'd like to try the Kyandi drink.

First time visit, I was not disappointed. My husband and I shared a fried chicken egg sandwich with arugula and waffle fries. It was a deliciously huge sandwich that we were usable to finish. The strawberry matcha was good too.

Came here for a quick breakfast because we were going on a road trip. The service was quick. Upon 10 minutes after ordering, we got our breakfast, 3 portions of hamburgers/sandwiches. We ordered 2 B.E.C & 1 Breakfast Sandwiches. All were very savory and tasty. I had to say this was the burgers I have eaten yet in the Bay, compared to other fast food chains & non-fast food restaurants. The store was a little small but it was cute and cozy. Quite tidy in my opinion. They have options for coffee, too, but we already had our coffee in the car so w didn’t order any. We will try again next time.
