egg break

best breakfast in london so far 😍 i tried the turkisheggsand the mexican omelette... they were both awesome 👌 great place and homy style i rate it 5 stars ✴✴✴✴✴

my insta feed is always full of eggy goodness pictures from newly opened eggbreak in notting hill. so it was the logical choice for a brunch date a few weeks ago.

of course, i had to choose an egg dish. i had the corn cakes with poachedeggsand sriracha hollandaise. i have to say, the cooking was uneven.

was reading about best breakfast joints in the city and this popped up. lovely place, extremely courteous staff and above all - delicious food.

called for the o'fresco (carrot,lime, ginger, apple, orange), turmeric latte, crab cakes and poachedeggsand the cornflake french toast.

the crab cakes were a delight. lovely poached eggs, creamy sriracha hollandaise, crispy crab cakes and some lemon for cut through the creaminess. the addition of cornflakes to the french toast gave a consistent crunch to the toast and the maple syrup was quite nice too.

simple menu but some killer dishes.

the place is a great one for a breakfast, once you enter you feel they are a small restaurant, however, they do have a lower level which is great and cozy. we were expecting moreeggsselection out of the menu, what we had was good, however and to reflect on the name of the restaurant, a largereggsbreakfast menu would be recommended.

worst breakfast. we ordered 2 x flat whites and they came cold and coffee not fresh. asked for a hot coffee and forgot to bring it again. turkisheggslooked so good on instagram as did the healthy breakfast - halloumi, avo, poached eggs, kale and tomatoes. halloumi was tough,eggscold and the rest was tasteless. food so disappointing and staff completely inattentive. great instagram but can’t see what the hype is about, not worth the visit at all.

gets busy during saturday brunch, naturally, and for good reason. these egg-based dishes are delicious. had the turkisheggs- the best thing about it is the cheesy toast on the side. service was pretty prompt considering how busy it was.

visiting from adelaide, south australia so i like to think i know my brunch. i had the corn cakes with spinach, poached eggs, mushrooms, bacon and hollandaise. hands down the besteggsi've ever had. the hollandaise wasn't too rich (which i find many places can be) and myeggswere soft and gooey! coffee wasn't the best but wasn't terrible. service was attentive and friendly. relaxed decor with excellent music playing in the background (think the black keys, adele, the rolling stones ...) to set the mood. come here if: you're looking for a no fuss breakfast with a bit of personality, you need to focus on some work or if you're only in london for a short while - it's well worth it!

for the main course it felt only appropriate to sample something from the anytimeeggsselection. i opted for the corn cakes topped with spinach, poachedeggsand sriracha hollandaise – this last element was a stroke of genius, a perfect little twist that elevated the dish from your averageeggsflorentine to something a bit a different. getting on the sriracha/hot-sauce hype also gives eggbreak a touch of the on-trend credentials i think they’re aspiring too. the good veggie range even managed to inspire my carnivorous boyfriend to choose vegetarian option, the green shakshuka, which he thoroughly enjoyed and seemed very tasty from the mere morsel i was permitted to sample.

on a sunday afternoon in london, you can bet that there’s a wait at one of the neighbourhood’s trendiest brunch spots. thanks to some impatient souls in front of us who think the wait isn’t worth it, we manage to bag one of the basement tables in under 20 minutes. brunch is unhurried, but that’s almost a given. spoilt for choice with the egg-zotic sounding dishes, we finally settle on a full english breakfast, and the brokeneggswith scarmoza, chorizo and spring onions, and the dutch baby pancake.

on a sunday afternoon in london, you can bet that there’s a wait at one of the neighbourhood’s trendiest brunch spots. but there's plenty of seating in the basement, so don't be disheartened after seeing the tiny ground floor! 

the dishes are rather egg-otic sounding, but my friend settles on a full english breakfast, and i go for the brokeneggswith scarmoza, chorizo and spring onions. for dessert, we decide to split the dutch baby pancake. the brokeneggs(which are scrambledeggsfor those who are more familiar with the term), have a generous dollop of scarmoza, which makes for a delicious combination with the grilled tomato and spring onion garnish, but it’s the chorizo that’s the subtle star of this dish, hidden in each bite.

true to its laidback vibe, the waiter has absentmindedly overlooked the pancakes, but assures us that they’ll be on their way in another ten minutes. the wait is worth it, because these pancakes are warm and heavenly. the unusually soft consistency without the conventionally fluffy texture sets these apart from regular pancakes. topped with sour berries and powdered sugar, the silky-soft dough goes down well. suffice it to say our sweet tooth in both of us is satisfied.

this is a little hidden gem in notting hill owned by soho house.

we got the fried egg with crispy polenta which was yummy, the fried egg bun and the brokeneggswith chorizo which was my favourite! i recommend you try that one!

egg break in notting hill is soho house's contribution to london's egg revolution. knowing soho house (pizza east, dirty burger, chicken shop), this site will be the first of many, but it's not a chain yet and this cosy brunch spot is full of character.

prices have sadly gone up since i went in september, in some cases by as much as 33%, but there were some bun bargains in there that were too good to be true. the technicolor fried chicken bun with pickled green tomato, red onion, and mayo was an absolute steal at £6, but it's still affordable at £8, though it doesn't come with any sides. speaking of which, you should definitely get yourself some fennel sausage for £3 and their rather special hash browns, also for £3.

elsewhere i can recommend the intriguing plate described as farro, 63° egg, avocado, radish, beetroot, feta, and sorrel pesto which has crept up a quid to £9. so many questions... well, two. what is farro? and why is my egg acute?

google to the rescue as ever. first off, farro is a whole grain that's a bit chewier than rice when cooked - duh. secondly, i have discovered that people are truly obsessed by egg poaching. type in "the food lab - 63° egg" for a ridiculously thorough examination. basically, theeggsare slow cooked, sous-vide style (in a water bath) at 63°, for an hour or so (or something slightly more precise than that) to achieve the perfect runny yolk - ideal for #eggporn.

we finished off with baked salted caramel & creme fraiche (£4) which wasn't as exciting as we hoped, but it did give me a chance to get channel my inner andy warhol (see below).

all in all, we had a lovely time and a filling brunch that didn't break the bank. there's plenty else on the menu that i'd like to try, as long as the prices don't continue to rise! it's a good spot to know about in the back streets of notting hill, and has earned its place on map the list.

it's open 7 days a week from 8am-10pm serving a variety of eggy plates (fromeggsflorentine to spaghetti carbonara), but expect to queue for a spot of brunch at the weekend.

hidden between the colourful homes in nottinghill, hides londons latest breakfast/brunch gem . if you are an egg lover like myself, then this just may become your regular sunday spot.  
finally a place in london which serves breakfast after 11am. i know i'm not the only one who wakes up on a sunday, maybe slightly hungover, fridge empty from drunken cooking the night before and realise ahhhh breakfast time is over, i now have to have lunch food.. lame, no one wants lunch food for breakfast…. until egg break . the sunday morning rush of making a 10:55am reservation is now over... wooohoooo ... thats another snooze on my alarm.
vibes: the exterior screams greasy spoon cafe: but the long line of fashionistas waiting for their eggy brunch said otherwise. at 1:30pm the line was out the door, shame as it was pretty windy and they do not have a waiting area, however my wait was not long. after 10 minutes i was seated with menu in hand and coffee on the way. the interior is super cute shabby chic, casual and cozy just how i like my sundays.

what i ordered: paper menus, hmmmmm but those prices " winning" the menu appeared quite simple, but everything looked so delicious, it was a difficult choice. another coffee had to be ordered as one was not enough to get me through my decision... 
perfectly poachedeggson avocado gluten free toast. this was mouthwaterly delicious.
side of hash browns.. pipping hot, cripsy yummyness on the outside, soft squishy on the inside. i actually ordered an extra portion.
side of fennel sausage : more like mini pork burgers. the flavour, omg ... i would come back just for these and next time i will not be sharing..
describe egg break in 3 words - tasty comfy casual …
will i go back? definitely, theeggsare egg-cellent “ couldn't help myself “ lol
what i loved - fun, friendly staff and you will read that in every review. food was served prompty and still pipping hot. i could eat their breakfast for dinner .

i recently visited egg break for breakfast on a saturday morning with the lovely sheepa.
we were seated at the table by the front windows and handed the food and drink menus.

the menu is divided into a few categories: basics, buns, plates, salads/veg/soup, sides and sweets.

we ordered to mains to share between us. one was the bun with folded egg, sweet corn, salsa, red cabbage and sour cream. a nice simple bun but it was probably slightly plain for me and could have done with more filling/sauce to make it taste better.
i really liked the brokeneggswith chorizo, roast tomato, scamorza and spring onion. this was served with two slices of toasted sourdough.

we also ordered a couple of sides: avocado and sea salt, and the hash browns which were nice and crispy.

we were quite full after all that, but we could not resist ordering a couple of desserts to try - there is always room for dessert!
the baked salted caramel custard was served in a small teacup and topped with creme fraiche - sweet but nothing too exciting.
we both really liked the dutch baby pancake with raspberries, almonds and powdered sugar.

the place seems quite small from the outside but they actually have more seating downstairs. overall it was a pleasant and satisfying meal and i would visit again to try out more eggy dishes :)

a relaxed neighbourhood spot in notting hill, egg break is the latest venture by the uber trendy soho house group, serving up all things deliciously eggy! keen to check it out, the girls and i headed over for a lazy brunch on an idyllic summer’s afternoon, nabbing the table outside.

from the basics –eggsany way you like ’em – to eggy bun, soups and salads, the choice is pretty eggscellent (okay, okay. i’ll stop). the baps have developed a bit of a cult following already, but very much feeling a “ladies who lunch” vibe, we went for the lighter options with salads and plates, creatively textured with an egg to top off – the flourishing touch binding together different flavours.

george, the wonderfully charismatic manager didn’t let us off the hook for dessert though, and just as well. the lemon bar is a treat for those (like me) who like their desserts on the citrusy-side – a tart dense lemon filling sitting tight atop a firm brown-butter shortbready crust.

while the baked salted caramel custard is a seriously sweet affair, with a generous dollop of crème fraîche for good measure. it’s the hob nob biscuit quirkily dunked in that makes this though – just begging you to break off chunks to scoop out the custard.
