Why Egg Pals is the Breakfast Spot Everyone’s Talking About
Move over avocado toast, there's a new breakfast star in town. Egg Pals, the Oakland-based pop-up, is taking the Bay Area by storm with it’s delicious breakfast sandwiches. From the moment you spot their playful cartoon egg logo, you know you’re in for a treat. And with just one bite, you’ll quickly see why this pop-up has everyone buzzing.
With popularity comes long lines, but trust us, it’s worth it. And if you need a little pick-me-up while waiting, don't miss Molly's Refresher, the friendly pop-up that serves up coffee and tea alongside Egg Pals.
Now let’s talk about the star of the show: the breakfast sandwich. Receiving one of these hot sandwiches wrapped in gold tin foil is like receiving one of Willy Wonka’s golden tickets, but better. We split one Egg Pal between two people and immediately regretted not getting two. With crispy bacon, two fried eggs, and gooey American cheese between a fluffy brioche bun, this sandwich is reminiscent of an East Coast Bacon Egg Cheese, but with a unique twist thanks to pickled red onions and herby mayo.
But that’s not all Egg Pals has to offer. The breakfast chips, seasoned with "breakfast sausage", and served with blowhole hot mayo were the perfect crunchy complement to the sandwich. And the palate cleanser, filled with kiwi, tangerines, dried tart cherries, pears, and pistachios, topped with a honey-lemon drizzle, was a refreshing and satisfying end to the meal.
In short, Egg Pals is the real deal. Don't miss your chance to get your hands on one of these egg-cellent sandwiches. Just make sure to get there early, because those lines are only going to get longer.
