The food was great, especially my coffee. The people there were so friendly. It was pricey for the breakfast. $$.

So so good! One of the best croque madames i have had in a long time (fontina- good choice chef!) Service was super friendly, place was clean and inviting. I was visiting DC on business and this little gem popped up as a place to visit. If I had more time i would have spent more time in the area, looks like an amazing neighborhood!

Genuinely obsessed!! As a savory brunch fiend, I already love anything and everything with eggs...so a whole restaurant themed after eggs was right up my alley. The place gets a bit busy / crowded, and you can expect a bit of a wait unless you arrive first thing in the morning (especially since they don't take reservations). I came by for a Saturday brunch around 11 AM and had a ~45 min wait, which is honestly the perfect amount of time to wander around Eastern Market.
I opted for the Bean Curd, Done That, a delicious open faced sandwich with perfectly crispy fried tofu, melty cheese, and a rich, flavorful brown butter fried egg (with a gorgeous runny yolk, of course). This, when paired with the creamy avocado and a punch of umami from the chili crunch, made for the perfect start to my Saturday. We also had to try out their somewhat loaded taters, which are perfectly crispy and coated with a rich fontina cheese sauce.
Beyond the incredible food, I Egg You also has delightful vibes -- the staff is super friendly and attentive, despite how busy the restaurant always seems to be. The decor is adorable (and, of course, very egg-themed), and the space generally feels very cozy and warm. All in all, if you're looking for a fun, egg-centric brunch spot, I can't recommend I Egg You enough!

Absolutely AMAZING. The food was delicious. The location is small but that makes it even. Better. The waiters are extremely attentive and the food remarkable. It just melts in your mouth. I will most definitely be coming back again. !!

Loved this place and everything we tried on the menu. Scotch Eggs were definitely a highlight. As was Joey our delightful bartender. Service was top notch and although they were very busy (a good thing!) our food came out pretty fast and tasted delicious. Will for sure be back!

The food is okay—nothing particularly special. However, I felt uncomfortable with the mandatory 20% service fee, which is presented as a tip to support fair pay for employees. In my view, fair wages should be the responsibility of the employer, not the customer. If the restaurant has a required service charge, it should be clearly communicated upfront as a part of their policy, separate from tipping. Tips should be earned through excellent service and left up to the customer’s discretion.

Really great food! Best french toast I've had in a long time. But warning that if you're in a hurry on a weekend, not the place to go. My recent wait time was cited as 50 minutes and we weren't seated until 30 minutes after the original wait time.
Kid-friendliness: They had a kids menu but my kids didn't like it

Super cute restaurant with good vibes and yummy breakfast. I got the breakfast plate it has a little bit of everything. The potatoes are so good and I loved my fruit cup. I got the pistachio and honey butter and it was super tasty on my bread. The bread is to die for, so fluffy. The servers were all very nice and attentive. Definitely recommend!!

We found this place while on a trip to DC and absolutely LOVED it! We loved it so much we had to come back a second time. The food was AMAZING, our waiter, Tyler, was so pleasant, and the ambiance of the place was just delightful. We had the deviled eggs (so good), the BLT (best we’ve ever had…and we’ve had a lot of these), the you bacon me crazy sandwich (really good but a little heavy for my liking), the coffee cake with pistachio butter (soooo yummy), the Vietnamese egg coffee (so interesting and worth a try), the affogato (such a delicious treat), the OJ (so fresh & delicious) and a few other things. We highly recommend you check this place out!!!
