They take the “ish” in their 2ish close time seriously, which I respect, so don’t arrive last minute. If it’s slow, they wrap up closer to 1:30. The food and service are always top notch. The donut holes are magically soft and flavorful (so they often are out before 1pm). A medium fried egg is perfectly medium. The deli sandwich combo is generously filled. The freshly squeezed orange juice is from actual orange that are squeezed there.

We were looking forward to eating at Eggshells. I checked the hours on Google maps which said they closed at 2 pm. We arrived at 1:25 and was told the kitchen was closed & they were just closing up. The person gave no apologies. The standing sign outside clearly stated they were open until 2:00! After this incident I am reluctant to go back. My pet peeve is small businesses that can close early when they feel like it.

Coming here for years. Food is always delicious and priced fairly. My favorites are breakfast quesadillas or just savory sausage patties and eggs. Their donuts are freshly made on site. Staff is the best! Intelligensia coffee what brought us here in the beginning. We have stayed for all the other reasons as well
