west egg cafe

great brunch!!!!. for those who jump to the end of the book, i loved this place. great service, superb food, and a killer vibe.

i can't explain it, but until last week i had not been to west egg . yes, i love breakfast. yes, it's close to home. yes, many people have told me it's very good, and hell, i've even had one of their coca-cola cupcakes (the cola is actually in the frostin

simple good food. fried green tomatoes were well done. the staff is not bubbly, which i think is what some people want when they go into an establishment, but these guys did their job and my friend and i were satisfied. they seem to focus on the food and it was all well done. i would go back.

went late monday morning and was unimpressed after hearing a lot of good things. i must have visted on an off day. to say the service was inattentive would be a compliment. the food was just average, just like the coffee. i might try this place again, but it will be a while.

breakfast genius. fried green tomatoes. turkey sausage. black bean cakes. casual atmosphere and kid friendly. what's not to love.

great new place!. took an out of town visitor out this morning for breakfast who wanted "something i can only get in atlanta" and hit a home run with west egg. been a while since i'd been here... in that time they've moved and, appears to me, to have added stuff to the menu.

i had the peachtree plate (2 eggs, brown sugar bacon, pimento cheese grits, fried green tomatoes, and a biscuit). everything was very tasty with the grits and the bacon both being out of this world full of flavor. my guest had one of the egg dishes with the garlic grits that he said were great. all in all, with the big bright new space (that still seems a little cozy and industrial) and the nice folks, i think the move has worked out very well. will have to go back some evening because it appears they're now serving dinner.

update 03/2011: still really like the food here, but mornings like today with just amazingly bad service make this place a little hit or miss lately. like i said, good food, but when you have to almost beg for coffee refills, get up to get silverware yourself, and generally have to work for everything it's difficult to have a nice relaxing breakfast reading the newspaper. when you have a good server, this place is great, when you don't... not so much.

great hip indy breakfast/brunch !. they now have parking in back! that makes this place a lot easier during the weekend rush.

did the black bean cakes & eggs this morning (two eggs, chipotle salsa, sour cream on spicy bean cakes with roasted garlic grits). eggs over medium and done perfectly, nice spice level to the bean cakes, big garlic flavor for the creamy (but not too creamy) grits. if i had to find something that i'd do different with this dish, it'd be to ask for extra salsa. unfortunately, it was so overpowered by the other flavors (and i'm not saying that in a bad way... this is a dish with big flavors) that i couldn't really find any chipotle taste...

the space is fun and full of west-downtown loft dwellers and entrepreneurs, and the service is friendly and unrushed. simply a fun spot for a great breakfast from a local business.

very hip cafe in atlanta, i heard a lot of good reviews about this place and i can tell you i wasn’t disappointed! great place, location, service, food, coffee.

a good friend of atlanta had his business right next-door to this place and is eating in this place literally and i mean seriously probably 600 times. he would be here every day and it's very good and i know why likes to go back.…

the food is always outstanding and the atmosphere is amazing. there is always a wait but it's worth it and the staff here is amazing.

the restaurant is owned by two former law yours i saw the light decided to get into another business and i think they own and restaurants.

lived in atlanta for 15 years and one of the great things i miss about it is all the good food and this place is one of the best places here so if you're in town and you like breakfast i highly recommend it.

one of my favorite places to eat breakfast in atlanta. this is not your typical place to eat. the environment is great but the food is just fabulous. their cafe late is wonderful and perfectly frothed. their ga eggs benedict is wonderful as is their fried green tomato wrap. everything on the menu is good!!!! but please don't forget to order a side of grits. i am from the south and i can say they have the best grits anyone has ever cooked, and their bacon!! ohh boy so crisp , apple smoked wood with a slight caramelized top. perfection at its best !! all foodies must go!

i drove thirty minutes to get here through the awful west side traffic to get here. it was worth it. i had to park in the parking garage and that was a little weird but it's in a very busy area of atlanta. went here and i loved the food. keep in mind i had a six week old baby in here for breakfast with me alone. if you do not like noise this place is not for you. so when she screamed it didn't make much of a difference. everything echoes and the tables are very close together. i think it is worth it. i wish i had discovered a place like this in college. it's a young hip place where young professionals and older professional like to have brunch or grab a coffee. has a cool laid back but upbeat vibe. it is very inviting. it can get crowded. i will definitely return on my way back to florida in a few weeks.

there were two things worth ordering in this menu: pimiento cheese grits and the smores latte. i ordered the peach plate and was just disappointed overall. my fried green tomatoes were oil drenched, soggy, and not seasoned. the scrambled eggs were mediocre (i must add that i'm pregnant, so i couldn't ordered my usual over medium). the biscuit wasn't bad. but, we waited well over an hour. we should've just gone to flying biscuit.

read the reviews about west egg cafe and i was not disappointed. it was delicious and the portions were the perfect size. i had a pimento cheese, bacon, tomato jam burger. it was amazing. the soup was loaded potato soup that was to die for and the potatoes were also delicious.

best bacon i have ever had. pecan smoked and sweet! coffee was excellent also. good priced, free parking and they use no wait app. my son got the short stack and the pancakes are bigger than the plate. staff was friendly and attentive. i did not feel rushed like usual at most breakfast joints.

this is solid food, not overly expensive, efficient service, and booze milkshakes! i dont think the food will blow your socks off, but not every restaurant can do that, or should. but, it's good enough to return.

the food is good and the atmosphere is fun. the service is usually friendly. if you go for breakfast or brunch on the weekend, be prepared for a loooooong line.
