If you love eggs this is the place. Nice owner, great food, relaxing place. Food is always good! Accommodates groups in private space.

Hmmmm, I love the name of this place. I have a friend that I meet every month for breakfast so we can catch up with each other's lives. . Every month we pick a new, different place. Sometimes they're just okay, other times it's on our list to return. Egg I AM is a place we plan to meet again our next visit. It was clean, the staff was extremely kind and attentive and it was a place that we could easily chat and not strain to hear each other. (some places are not conducive to conversation). I had a great experience and the food was excellent. The potatoes are called ranch potatoes and were really tasty. I thought it was a great choice...I suggest you give it a try for yourself. I loved it!
(5)Diane M.
Been many times and always enjoy. Staff are friendly and they never rush you. Great for gals who meet to share a meal and catch up as we can talk at length......The fresh fruit cup is good and the eggs Benedict-come in many tempting variations ,never had a bad meal!
(4)John B.
Dont eat here unless you want mediocre food and terrible service. The owner or whatever woman is in charge is extremely rude, and extremely unprofessional. So is the the service staff, but you could expect that from teenagers, not grown adults.

I was delightfully impressed on my 1st visit to The Egg I am. The owner, Robyn was greeting everyone; the regulars and new customers, like myself, as if we were family. Even other customers were eager to have conversations with me. I felt very welcome, the staff was kind & prompt and the owner took time to visit with me. I ordered a sandwich & salad; very well plated & delicious. I recommend this place to anyone. thanks, you made my day. :) Jen G.

This is one of those restaurants you'll treat like your hair stylist. You'll keep their location to yourself so they don't get too busy. Believe me, they can handle the rush. Mom and pop owned, you'll feel like you're at home with consistently good food and a large selection to choose from. I have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. I chatted with the owner "mom", Robyn. She is thoroughly concerned with every person having a positive experience and treats all regulars like family. Very enjoyable, among the best breakfast restaurants in the state for sure.
(5)Cherie K.
I had a most delicious brunch today of apple pancakes bacon and eggs. Kristina was our server and Greg heads up the kitchen. It is a beautiful spot only open til 2 but no one herds you out if you dtay beyond that time. The coffee comes in a pot very very good!
(4)Mary Y.
Love this breakfast spot! -Coffee: There's different FLAVORS like Vanilla Nut and Hazelnut and Regular (free refills) -Great place for a meeting or just to have breakfast/brunch with friends -lots of parking - don't forget to pick up a frequent diner's punch card!
(4)Mya T.
After much prodding from my Sister in Law, we went. Awful. The eggs on my plate were overdone, while my daughters plate was raw. My husband's omelet was wrong and we didn't even get a sorry. We felt rushed to eat and leave.
(2)Dave T.
I've been here a couple times. It's pretty basic, but it's not very pricey and it's pretty good food. I'm really impressed by the Bacon, the size of the Pancakes, the Egg-Ceptional Omelette, and the very fast service. I wouldn't say it's better food overall than "Breakfast Club," "Orange Table," or "Morning Squeeze," but if you're in the area, you could do worse than "The Egg I Am."
(4)Diana B.
The best, the best. Really know how to scramble and cook!! Coffee is amazing. The owner Robyn is great!!! A must for anyone!!!
(5)Charles P.
I visited for the second time today and the service was unbelievably bad this time. The hostess greeted and sat me promptly but then I was left for many minutes without even an acknowledgement from my server. Once she finally did arrive all I got was "are you ready?". I ordered the "Eggceptional Omelet" which was piping hot and delicious, thankfully. Another gal dropped off the food and continued snubbing me. Placing the plate on my table and promptly turning her head to spot some people at the table next to me. She recognized them and went over to chat for several minutes. Never asked me if I desired anything else. A few minutes later my server returned to and ask if everything was okay. I requested a refill of water. She brought a small carafe of water and the check. It was wrong. The check was for a group of 3 when I was dining solo. No thanks, I don't care to pay for their meal. It was easily remedied of course, but still, such a mixup shouldn't happen when the place is so quiet. Seems you have to be a regular to get some decent attention at this place. Or at least a group of more than one.
(3)Dave M.
I enjoyed the chicken hash with pork verde. Very healthy portion but I finished it all. I had ordered a side of salsa which didn't show up until the near end of my meal. Wasn't the end of the world as the verde sauce was very good. Our server was friendly and service was quick. A friend had ordered a Spanish dish and requested the verde and salsa on the side but, it came out with both items on his order. Our server at least acknowledged the mistake and would have corrected it but he was fine with it. Overall I enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere and would have given 4 stars if not for the mistakes made.
(3)Cathy S.
I love breakfast and will eat it three times a day if I have the chance. I also love being able to walk to a restaurant so if I stuff my piehole full of food I can bask in the delusion that that little bit of exercise will burn the food off. The Egg I Am offers breakfast deliciousness (until mid-afternoon) and within walking distance! My husband and I are creatures of habit and once we find a good thing we rarely deviate on the menu. My husband is a Benedict man and I have never been disappointed with the build-your-own omelette. I really like that they offer turkey sausage for those of us that don't eat a lot of mammals. I will keep coming back as long as they are there.
(4)Chi D.
What is bad about the food at The Egg I Am? Nothing! Food is just simply delicious. We live right down the street so, have gotten some big investment into this little breakfast place. Yum! Now the service, it could get slow pretty often unfortunately. One time we sat right in the middle of the restaurant and...our waitress didn't even know we were there until...some 20 minutes later when we decided to speak up...But that happens everywhere so, can be forgivable. As long as they keep your food good, I am fine!
(5)Alex G.
Had a nice breakfast, I tried the Mexican Omelette and it was very good. I recommend getting the salsa on the side as my omelette had a lot of salsa on it. They had fresh squeezed lemonade which was really good as well. If you need to get some breakfast this place was great since it's in a nice location.
(4)Alexis S.
Presentation was good. Food was way too salty and lacked flavor. The fruit platter was one of the better ones seen in a while. Our side of salsa took 10 minutes to get here which was about enough time to finish our meal. We did walk right in and get a seat. It's quite and service was good (besides the salsa which didn't seem to be her fault)

IHOP has nothing to worry about. That's where I tend to go to breakfast when I want a good quality breakfast for an average to good price. However, on Sunday they tend to have long lines and a long wait. So I chose "The Egg I am" as a second choice. Never been there before so I tried it. Ordered The whole wheat pancake that came with two eggs and two strips of bacon. The poached eggs came with some water on the dish so I soaked it up with a napkin. Bacon was good, not too salty. The whole wheat pancake was uneventful. I don't know what I disliked about it the most but I would never order it again and it doesn't light a candle to IHOP's Harvest Grain whole wheat pancakes. OOPs, did i mention IHOP again? Hubby, who always watches his svelte figure, decided that he didn't want anything that came with meats--so he went as an "independent" so to speak---a la carte as they say in the restaurant business. He wanted two eggs scrambled, rye toast, and home fries. Sorry, no home fries here (he loves home fries---his heart must have been broken, but he didn't say a word because "Eggs I am" was my choice) . Did I tell you IHOP makes excellent home fries?? Oops. They offered him Ranch potatoes instead. What the H... are those, we wondered and soon found out. Ranch potatoes are these pale cubes of tasteless potatoes. Couldn't you put a crisp on those potatoes on the grill right before you are going to serve them to your clients who got out of bed, brushed their teeth, showered, combed their hair, got dressed, and gassed up the car just to get to you for breakfast on a Sunday morning???????? BTW, Mr. Slim and Trim (hubby) asked for the scrambled eggs to be made dry --meaning no butter. So when they arrived, I asked if I could taste them. And then the revelation: These tasted like an egg mix not real eggs. Just like they do in Las Vegas buffets.... they have a mix that they add water to and voila scrambled eggs. We asked Carol our waitress and she said they were fresh eggs. Deny, deny, deny. I have tasted these "paste" eggs before and I can tell the difference. Hubby poured a bunch of jalapeño hot sauce on the eggs and was able to eat them with his toast. Did we say toast? The definition of toast is that bread is darkened on both sides. This rye bread did not enter the crevices of any working toaster. It was so light that I asked him if he wanted real toast, but hubby being the gentlemen that he is said that the toast was OK. Do we go out to have food that is OK??? I can make better than OK food (at least for breakfast). This is why standards in restaurants go downhill because people like Mr. Slim and Trim say it is OK. To top off the experience, I checked the bill and it had other items added to it. Did I have iced tea? Nope. Did I have coffee? Nope. Nothing like a padded bill to top off a bad breakfast. Oh, excuse me. I don't want Mr. Slim and Trim to be offended---an OK breakfast.

Had the best chicken salad sandwich ever today! I had the most friendliest server. Thank you Adam for being so detailed oriented with my lunch and making sure it came out perfect. I'll definitely be back and ask to have Adam as my server again!!
(5)Andrew B.
Very poor customers service. Very slow to bring out the food and drinks . The worst part it wasn't busy at all !! I am taking my business to IHOP a much cheaper and more efficient place to get breakfast !
(1)Art B.
Bonus points for a cute name. This Egg I Am is one of only two Arizona locations. It's a locally owned franchise of The Egg and I (not nearly as cute of a name), a small Colorado based company. That's local enough for me. I have not eaten here much. I had very good customer service today, unlike complaints in some other Yelp reviews. Greeted promptly. Coffee offered promptly. Order taken promptly. You get the idea. The food did take a while to arrive at the table, but it was hot and fresh when it did arrive. Everything was fine. Nothing we ordered wowed us. It strikes me as very similar in vibe to The Good Egg. I plan to come back and be a little more adventurous in my ordering next time. Perhaps sit outside on the small patio. I'm also curious to see how they do on a busy Sunday morning. It's not a particularly large restaurant, which I like. It may deserve another star. FYI, The Egg I Am is more of an egg establishment than a pancake place, thus the name. Whole wheat pancakes are the basic offering, made edible, however, by really good warm pancake syrup.
(3)Don B.
LOUSY!!! Darn can't give a no star review! As a frequent visitor of this restaurant, I knew I wanted the Parisian Benedict and Hazelnut Coffee before the hostess even seated me and gave me a menu at 7:05! After waiting 10 minutes without even seeing a waitstaff person, I decided to go somewhere else. The hostess advised me that the waitress was working on a broken blender. She surely could have worked on the broken blender while my breakfast was being prepared! I hope she got the blender fixed because she surely fixed me!!! I know now never to frequent this joint again! Oh well, another restaurant written off my list... I can live without them!!!
(1)Frank M.
Actually. I gave it a one-star only because the food is fairly good. Too bad the owner treats her customers and employees in such a rude and disrespectful manner. For the life of me I don't understand why anyone would want to work at this establishment. The owner is totally clueless that it's her customers who are responsible for her having a successful business. She obviously doesn't care if she treats you rudely, as she knows there are plenty of people who will accept such shoddy treatment. If you want to spend your hard earned money on a business who really doesn't care if you patronize the place or not, I say "you get what you pay for."
(1)Sarah M.
I ventured here for a good breakfast a couple weeks ago and got WAY more than that. I came by myself but felt like I walked into a family when seated. The hostess was so kind and welcoming, the food was incredible, and don't even get me started on my waitress who made me want to change the world for better. I was hungry... like really hungry so I ordered not only an egg white omlete with fruit but a huge apple granola pancake as well. You guys... I was maybe like 7 bites away from finishing it! The omlete was cooked perfectly topped with avocado and the fruit was fresh. And, the pancake - oh my gosh so good. The granola inside the pancake was such a great unique twist. You have a few options for the kind of brew you want for your coffee and they bring it to you in a huge caraf for refills galore! This made my heart flutter. As I mentioned, I had the ultimate waitress named Michelle. Want to smile and feel nurtured with love? Ask to sit in her section - trust me! She was the best part of my experience here.
(5)M G.
The manager is rude no only to customers but to her employees as well! Save yourself the money and make breakfast at home!!!
(1)Natalia G.
The food here is amazing! I consider my boyfriend and I to be regulars since we have been coming here for about 1 1/2 years. We live down the street and the location is absolutely beautiful. My boyfriend and I have no complaints and we have recommended The Egg I Am to friends and family. Not sure what the complaints from other users regarding the owner, Robin. I think she is a fantastic person overall, very well-respected and has been nothing, but kind to me since I have been coming here. I feel sorry for the other users who cannot see that she is running a business and do not know what it's like to run a business. Great food and great service.
(5)Ginger E.
Was at Mayo for Dr. appt. Found on Yelp. Great choice. Everyone smiles. Coffee great. Had Colorado Jack- even salsa warm. Food excellent. Coffee never empty. Service fast enough. Start of great day.
(5)Albert H.
Polite service and food arrived fast on my visit, but food was unremarkable. Always have high hopes for local places like this because they have greater potential to stand out over some of the breakfast chains that are peppered across the valley.
(3)Michael T.
This place is like 'Good Egg', but on steroids. Service is friendly and quick. Their omlettes, pancakes, and waffles are really good for breakfast. For lunch, get their iced tea - it's made in house and delicious. Their sandwiches are very tasty, and never disappoint.
(5)Tom Y.
Stopped in for a quick bfast while daughter was playing tennis nearby at SRP. Had corned beef hash and eggs. They were quick, courteous and reasonably priced...especially for Scottsdale. Probably wouldn't make it a destination given all of the cool restaurants in The Phoenix area but I would definitely go back if in the area!
(4)Ethan B.
Well now I know why 'egg' is in the name. They have omelettes and skillets which is fine. But what if you don't want eggs? Well there's French toast, oh wait that has eggs. Well what about pancakes, no eggs again. That's ok i'll just have a waffle-EGGS. The food was good, waffle was a bit dry but there are eggs everywhere. You can ask for it without but if you didn't know it came with eggs, you'll get an eggy pancake. I'm surprised there isn't egg coffee! If you want eggs, great! If not maybe try somewhere else.
(4)Rob E.
My prime spot for eggs Benedict. Outstanding staff. Delicious food. Great atmosphere and music. Keep finding myself coming back all the time but never writing a review. I strongly recommend everyone to try this gem out. I'm sure you will find yourself coming back as well.
(5)Rachel W.
I'm angry giving this place ONE star. Yesterday morning, my boyfriend and I wanted to try a new place for Sunday brunch. We called at 10:55 and were told there was no wait, so we drove to The Egg I Am. We arrived and were told there 4 parties ahead of us waiting to be seated (wtf?) which is fine given it was a Sunday morning - but why lie about that on the phone? Okay, whatever. We were seated after about 15 minutes at a booth right behind the host stand. I felt like I was on a cruise ship, because the guy sitting behind me was fidgeting and it shook our entire table. I figured I wouldn't say anything about it since I would be focused on eating my food in just a few minutes. Our server came by; she was friendly and took our order. I got the daily special - a "BTO" croissant. While we were waiting for our food, the couple sitting behind us left and two workers came by to clean up their table. They proceeded to bitch about how messy people left tables and how customers would leave their own kitchens in the manner in which they left restaurant tables. Okay, it is COMMON SENSE to not bitch about your job/customers around other patrons! Like, I understood their frustrations, but seriously..m professionalism please? So we get our food. My sandwich was SOGGY, meaning the croissant was previously frozen and microwaved. Ugh. The food was completely lackluster, unmemorable, and average at best. Little egg/meat, tons of greast, canola oiled potatoes. We get our check and are ready to leave when I notice I was overcharged for my meal. The special was listed as $8.79. I was charged $9.99 plus $0.99 for substituting egg whites. Nowhere did it say egg whites were extra, but whatever. So I go up to this counter and explain to the apathetic 16 year old hostess that I was overcharged. She called over her manager, who looked at my bill, rolled her eyes, and mumbled to the girl "This is a $0.20 difference" as if to imply that I was some cheap idiot wasting her time. I pointed out that actually I had been overcharged $2.20, NOT $0.20. She rolled her eyes, fixed my tab, and walked away. Seriously lady? Even if it WAS only $0.20, then YOU can pull the change out of YOUR pocket to pay my tab. I was appalled at the rudeness of the staff at this "establishment." I can honestly say it was the first meal/restaurant to leave a sour taste in my mouth. Whoever owns this place needs to clean house and hire competent staff. In an economy like ours, I seriously wonder how these people have jobs.
(1)Char H.
The service is friendly and fast. The food is fresh and flat out good!! I look forward to going to The egg I am because it is very consistent. Everybody is happy to help to ensure you have a pleasant meal.
(5)Cori L.
A perfect way to start the day! Just had breakfast here and it was great! Staff was friendly, owner was available and attentive. Did not feel rushed to get out like at so many local breakfast places. Noise level was very low (again, not like other places that assault your ears first thing). Food came out fast. Caraf of coffee and water (so appreciated!) Prices were great! We had french toast - great! With REAL warmed maple syrup. And eggs benedict - yummy! Cooked to perfection. I love that it is locally owned and the owner is there making sure things go ok.
(4)Carol L.
Really enjoyed breakfast here. Food was delicious and wait staff was friendly . I've been looking for a place in Scottsdale that understands that green chile is a must-have breakfast condiment, and I've finally found it! When the meals arrived they were hot, perfectly cooked, and large portions. Two minor quibbles: the food was a little slow arriving (almost 30 minutes from the time we sat down), and I like my coffee a little stronger. Overall, an enjoyable dining experience, terrific food, and we'll definitely be back.
(4)Brad G.
It's the Good Egg, except it's more consistent and the food seems fresher.
(4)John R.
Stopped in during a recent 3 day stay for the Phoenix Open. Ended up eating here every morning. Great service, food, coffee. I'm not a heavy breakfast person, but the variety here gave plenty of choices. Had the Artichoke Benedict Florentine first day, and then got hooked on the dressed up oatmeal (granola, blueberries, raspberries on top, fruit on side) next 2 days. Great breakfasts, filling and healthy choices, and the price was right. Our servers were friendly and fast every day. (Wed, Thu, Fri) Highly recommended.

Located at the corner of Via Linda and Mountain View, The Egg I Am is an unassuming gem! My daughter and I went for a late brunch today. The restaurant closes at 2:30, so, by the time we got there at 1:45, we pretty much had free reign of the place. We noticed a sign saying that the patio was open for seating, but surprisingly, it was too cold for us to sit there today, as it was completely shaded when we were seated. Instead, we opted to sit by one of the large windows that overlooked Via Linda. The owner seated us, and gave us each a menu. Now, having a toddler, I'm accustomed to seeing kids menus with crayons to placate the children as they wait for their food. However, The Egg I Am does't use crayons, they use colored pencils. I know that probably doesn't sound very earth shattering, but it was different, and a nice touch. It's nice to see a place try and do things a little differently. The food itself is fantastic! My daughter ordered off of the children's menu, as everything there is just under $5.00. She opted for the kids' cheeseburger with fresh fruit. I had to do a double take when her plate arrived, because the burger was huge! It was easily 1/4lb. Needless to say, my three-year-old could only finish about a quarter of the burger during our visit. It DID make for nice leftovers, though. I, trying to maintain some semblance of a healthy diet, opted for the Vera Cruz Chicken and Avocado Omelette yelp.com/biz_photos/G9r4… . This is an egg white omelette with diced chicken, tomatoes, onions and green chiles, topped with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses and fresh avocado, served with a side of fresh fruit and a small bowl of salsa. It is nothing short of spectacular, imho yelp.com/biz_photos/G9r4… . It's one of those meals, that no matter how large the portions may be, you'll always wish there was just one more bite! Interesting side note: as we finished up our meals, two ladies sat behind us, and started asking questions about the menu. I happened to overhear that the restaurant makes their soups fresh each and every day. This is a great place to come for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. One note of caution: be mindful of the hours of operation. The Egg I Am is never open past 2:30 in the afternoon yelp.com/biz_photos/G9r4… . So, plan accordingly, and ENJOY!
(5)Heather M.
Another excellent breakfast! I know they have other food, but I can't get past the green chili chicken hash. It's delicious! Service was great with a lovely table out on the patio. Can't say enough about how great this place is.
(5)Heidi W.
Great food but a bit of a wait to get seated looks like short of wait staff. I had the Parisian Benedict and it was delicious. Friendly owner and staff. Nice atmosphere
(5)J C.
Normally give this place a 4 . But today was do bad my wife ordered French toast no powder sugar got 1/2 piece of toast took over 1 hour 30 mins.
(2)Marty F.
Ive been here a couple times because it's pretty close to my girlfriends house. I do enjoy their food and the service is good. Not a whole lot to say. It's a good breafkast spot!
(4)Emma S.
We had dogs with us and they were very accommodating! The Manager was super nice and obviously a dog lover! Service on the other hand was average. Server was nice but not great. She did tell us it was her 2nd day, which is fine but she forgot our toast as a Side and didnt put sour cream on the side. Just a bit annoying. We left without ever receiving the toast yet it was still on our bill which was a hassle to take off. Food was average. Omelette was small and seemed like something out of a carton. And a little bland with the favors. I don't think I'll ever be back, simply based on the fact that I wasn't amazed and there are so many other great breakfast places in the area. At least I gave it a try...
(2)Liz L.
Good food, reasonable prices and friendly staff! Would recommend it if you're nearby.
(4)Inday C.
My husband and I love this place, good breakfast setting in the nice neighborhood of Scottsdale Ranch. They offer several choices for Eggs Benedict including a vegetarian choice. However, the cook has a tendency to overcook the poached eggs... But if you say someting about it to your server, they are very gracious and will replace it immediately to make things right. They have a variety of coffee flavors, bottomless of course! Healthy choices are available for the sportsminded or those who like to fill up on protein. Good choices for the vegetarian eaters and yes, kid's meal is available too. For those who are not big egg eaters, they have other choices too. Lunch choices is on the menu. Service is good, super friendly staff. Definitely worth a try!
(4)Brenda B.
I've been here a few times when I have friends in town this is always the breakfast/brunch place I take them to. On this particular visit we noticed that on the special's board they had a Salted Carmel Mocha hot chocolate so we all decided to give it a try. Let me just say... OMG! Rich chocolate carmel-y heaven in a glass! The consensus around the table was... This is dangerous. I ended up ordering the Florentine Benedict with the Ranch Potatoes. The Benedict was really good, but I tend to like my eggs a tad bit runnier than what came out. Really though it wasn't that big of a deal because taste wise it was still really good. Those ranch potatoes though, you must give them a try. Seriously, they are always seasoned perfectly every time I visit, and are crunchy on the outside / soft and warm on the inside. Haha there wasn't a single potato on anyone's plate when we left, they are that good. So if you're on this side of town and are looking for a breakfast/brunch type place... I'd highly recommend The Egg I Am.
(5)Hillary M.
If you like flat tasteless omelets then this is the place for you. Normally you pour eggs in a hot pan, then lift the edges while cooking which creates a light and fluffy place to put yummy fillings. Not here. Instead, they slop some eggs in a pan then drop a few measly ingredients directly into the raw egg mix, flip it, fold it over and call it an omelet while resembles a folded over egg disc. Since this method will only hold minimal ingredients without falling apart that is exactly what you get, which saves money for them and cheapens the product for us. In addition, they most likely cooked it on low heat based on the results, you don't have to monitor it, it just congeals, hence the FLAT egg cake. Again, saves time for them, crappy product for us. No thanks! Because I was visiting some acquaintances, I ended up going here two days in a row. I actually asked the second day for a regular omelet with fillings inside, was told "okay" and got the same cheap omelet again, not to mention some other issues that happened with my food. Anything out of the norm and they fall to pieces there. I don't know how this place is so successful serving eggs like this. YUCK!
(2)Krajack L.
I really wanted to like this place because a. It's across the street from my house, b. I love breakfast food and c. The complex itself is awesome. But unfortunately, the food was mediocre and the hostess/manager was really rude to the staff that surrounded her. My boyfriend and I went there for my birthday breakfast and she was yelling at the other hostess and doing it loudly enough that we could hear her. I am a firm believer in treating employees fairly and with respect, and she showed none. As far as the food goes, like I said...mediocre. I won't be going back there anytime soon, regardless of its awesome location and my love for breakfast food.
(3)David B.
Had breakfast for Fathers Day with a party of 12. We were seated and served promptly. The food was at our table very soon after ordering and it tasted great. I really liked this place. The hostess and waitress were great! I will return!
(5)Elisha T.
Food was good, but the place is dirty and the staff makes you feel like you are inconveniencing them. Everything is sticky and the dishes were dirty too. Service was slow too. Very impersonal wait staff.
(1)Maria K.
The hazelnut coffee here is amazing! I wish I could say the same about service. My two children and I waited almost two hours to get our food. We were told that the waitress dropped the plates the first time so they had to remake the food. I am not surprised because I have never seen so many dropped plates and spills. It was a comedy of errors. The waitress spilled cream all over our table and then had an attitude with the kids when they asked her to clean it up. She actually left cream on the chairs, in my bag, etc. Not a good experience. To make it worse, the owner was there and never once came to our table to apologize for the delay or make an effort to smooth things over. It is not easy keeping a 4 and 8 year old quiet when they have to wait so long for breakfast. The food was below average. The pancakes were very dense and dry. There are much better breakfast places in Scottsdale which is a shame because the coffee is really good.
(2)Deb E.
Breakfast is wonderful ! Our first time here loved it as we walked in the door. & was welcomed by the owner Robin . I had chile relleno & eggs YUMMY. My man went for the healthy breakfast oatmeal w fruit which was really good . We are coming back to check out the lunch menu . We are hooked. .
(5)Larry B.
Good utility breakfast. They have an excellent Tortilla soup. My father in law had Philly Cheese Steak Eggs Benedict with hollandaise on the side. I opted for one of their skillets. Now that Dragon fly closed down I'm bummed, but this place definitely hit the spot. Service was also great!
(4)Mike L.
Perfect Breakfast, Impeccable Service !!!!! My wife and I stopped in for Breakfast today for our first visit. She ordered the Granola Raspberry Pancake, and I had a create your own Omelette. Both were totally awesome, cooked to perfection. The waitresses were very friendly and walked us through all their specials and answered all our questions. My omelette was light and fluffy like I prefer them and the cheese was melted to perfection. My wife's pancake was an absolute taste sensation. The Restraunt was very clean, well decorated and we got our food right away even though they were extremely busy. I found the owner at the counter and advised her how impressed and pleased we were with our breakfast selections and told her to pass on our sincere appreciation to the chef and that we would definitely be back to sample the rest of their menu. Can't wait to try their lunch menu.

Horrible customer service! My boyfriend and I went there looking to try a new breakfast place. They looked a little busy but not in the weeds at all. We walked in and waited to be seated and stood there over 10 minutes without being acknowledged by the hostess who was helping people pay their tabs or by the servers who walked right passed us multiple times. We eventually walked out and went somewhere else. We will NOT be returning to try their food!!

Absolutely awesome. Great service. Very friendly and comfortable. Very clean. Crab cakes Benedict were perfect. Crab cake stood up to the hollandaise and egg without turning mushy, and you could taste the crab. Need one if these in Ahwatukee!

Although we had been to the restaurants around this place we had never been here before today. That is partly because when we drove by at breakfast time there were always prospective customers waiting outside for a table. We got in today. We were happy with our experience. We noticed immediately that there are a lot of regular customers...one even ordered by telling the waitress he wanted (his name)'s usual. The breakfast menu is large though not overwhelming with several Benedict's, several skillets, several egg dishes, several Latin themed egg dishes, a build your own omelette option and more. I settled for the Texas skillet and my wife had a Breakfast burrito and both were well prepared and tasty. The waitress was attentive and checked back often. The hostess (manager?) made the rounds too. The difference between 4 and 5 stars is that the lobby setup is confusing, that is departing and arriving customers have to cross each other to pay and get seated, also our waitress pushed us for an order when we were still figuring out the menu and we also had to ask twice for a water refill. Nothing major and we will be back.

I always love to try new places for breakfast so I met my girlfriend at the recently opened "The Egg I Am". Not quite sure why they didn't stick to the franchise name of "The Egg and I" as it is listed on line under that site. I had no expectations whatsoever. I'm tired of going to new places with high expectations and then being so disappointed. I walked into a very lovely brightly lit dining area with ample, but not crowded, seating. They have lots of booths (always my first choice for seating). Unfortunately, the place smelled a little "eggy" but they wore off shortly after I was seated (within a couple of minutes). Our waiter was very friendly . . . he had a big smile and a fantastic attitude. He explained the various types of coffee they serve . . . including a Rainforest Blend (Rainforest Alliance Certified) which was deep, bold and delicious. I had the Athena Scramble which was yummy. I hate when eggs are overcooked and these were just perfect! The asparagus, Portobello mushrooms and feta cheese were plentiful -- no skimping here. The ranch potatoes were okay, not bad, not great. I picked out the crispy ones which were the best of the lot and wished I had asked them to burn them . . . then they would have been just right. My friend had the raisin french toast which she enjoyed, but then wished she had ordered the pancakes. I have to say, the raisin french toast smelled so good with its dollop of cinnamon butter. I can still smell it now. Both the breakfast and lunch menus have many choices, both decadent and healthy, and the prices are extremely reasonable. I have a feeling I'll be going back often.

I didn't know what to expect from the Egg I Am (aside from eggs). The menu is quite large; I found myself debating between breakfast and lunch. From the breakfast side, the whole wheat pancakes looked yummy, as did the omelets and "Egg-ceptional" dishes. Yet the chicken spinach salad was tempting...same with the grilled chicken sandwich (I'm partial toward chicken). My final decision? An egg white and veggie omelet from the "healthy options" section. It was fresh, fluffy and all-around delicious. They're still working out some of the kinks in the kitchen (a few of our dishes were missing a couple components), but the energy and promptness of the staff make up for this. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meal and it was nice that no one was waiting too long for their dishes (it gets tricky serving 20 people at once...). All around a solid choice for breakfast.

There are much better breakfast places in the area. Food is mediocre at best. This is the third time I've been for breakfast. Wait staff is nice enough. Ordered corn beef has and poached eggs. The hash was blackend (burnt) and the poached eggs were hard poached. The place wasn't busy at all. Not impressed.
(2)Sylvia C.
I really enjoy this breakfast joint! The service is always prompt and the place is very clean. I enjoy their skillet breakfasts and the french toast isn't bad. I also like that they have different kinds of coffee.
(4)Samara Y.
I'm giving this place two stars only because my burger actually tasted pretty good when it arrived. The place had just been opened for a couple of days when I dined there, so hopefully they've sorted out some of their issues. There was a very eggy smell to the whole place, and several flies kept buzzing around our table. It was a hot day, but it usually is in the valley and I cannot remember ever eating in any restaurant with flies bothering me so much. There were a couple of very friendly and attentive servers in there, but neither of them were mine. It took way too long for my server to come and take my drink order. When he finally did, he seemed a little lethargic and uncertain--maybe he was new to waiting tables and trying to figure otu what to do? I ordered a burger and chips. I ordered a kid's meal for my child--eggs, sausage, toast. I noticed a hair on the sausage. Yuck! I told the waiter and they replaced the meal, and the manager took it off the check--good practice, but not good enough to make me want to eat there again. The whole experience just felt kind of icky.

My husband and son stopped by this little gem of a breakfast place. Great menu variety. Love the patio area, its so nice to sit outside for breakfast. Food was great, service was great! A great local breakfast spot!!
(4)Terry W.
I actually think this breakfast place deserves a 4.5 star rating but there isn't one here. There are a lot of breakfast places in Scottsdale but they all sort of taste the same - except for this one. And it's not just that the whole wheat pancakes with blueberry compote are moist and delicately delicious - my son had the scrammies with turkey sausage and potatoes and the eggs were delicately flavored, the sausage was generous and well seasoned, and the potatoes were crisp - not mushy like many places. There is plenty of wait staff around and everyone is extremely pleasant. You get the impression that these folks really like their jobs. The atmosphere is friendly neighborhood - not commercial establishment. I got take-out a few weeks ago and it was a s good as the dine-in. This place is great.

Went there for the first time today. I found the staff to be available and attentive. It was around 10:30 and very few tables were full. I ordered a greek salad, without the chicken. It was good, but small. When I got the check it was for the full amount of the salad (with chicken) and it was $9.95!! I inquired about the pricing since I did not have the chicken and the reply from the waitress and the hostess was, that is the price either way. Okay, I get that, but it was not a lot of salad and for the price I felt it was too much. I order things all the time without meat and usually the price is adjusted reflecting the lack of meat. Oh well, just so so and had to go home and forage some more, as I was still hungry. Probably won't go back.
(2)Kenon R.
I have eaten here a few times and have enjoyed every meal. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. I don't think it's the healthiest food around, but if you want a good breakfast, this should definitely be on your list. My dad also liked this place and he doesn't like eggs, so it's hard for him to find breakfast places that will cater to his aversion. He asks for an extra english muffin instead of eggs, and the waitress was very accommodating.

Two stars might be a stretch. And we wanted this to be good as it is a short bike ride from our house. We ordered a Mexican platter and hash and eggs. The hash was tasteless. Nothing there, it looked like it came out of a frozen bag or something. The Mexican platter could have been good, but half of the the potato chunks were raw and it was supposed to come with chorizo. Well, when we sent it back to the kitchen they said it indeed had chorizo in it. There was either such a fine trace of it or they don't know what chorizo is. The good, the server let us start over with new orders so we tried pancakes and French toast. These were okay, but just okay, nothing special. I think what breakfast places miss is that for $10 a plate you have to make it a little better than just ok. The decor was nice and the coffee was good. Server handled the situation well, but was really disappointed that the manager (or the person that might have been an owner) didn't ever come by to say something. Probably 1.5 stars, but wont go back, would rather have a dingy hole in the wall with food that has some flavor...

Wanted to give this place a try as the newest breakfast place in Scottsdale and was not impressed at all. Three adults one child $48.00. I ordered the biscuits and gravy with three eggs (medium) the eggs came cold with hard yolks. The gravy was good as I like alot of pepper however the potatos were also hard and you could tell they had been cooked some time ago and then overcooked in an attempt to reheat. I actually pick one up and dropped it on the table and it bounced like a marble. My daughter had the french toast and stated that it was good although it too came cold. We were there at 10am on December 12 and it was not even 25% full yet our food was very sub par. If anyone thinks this place is a standout they are simply mistaken even the hard wooden benches and decor are a copy of The Good Egg. I found no feel of home cooking in this place and will certainly not be back anytime soon. On a positive note the service was decent to bad the cooks couldn't team up. Update: I originally gave this place 2 stars however my wife went here a couple days ago and really enjoyed the food so to be fair I am adding a star and will give them another chance. She said the food was fast, fresh and the service was good. Ill let you know how it goes.
(3)Aben R.
Nothing spectacular, just the usual eggs, pancake, soup, salad, and sandwich spot. The owner is very friendly. The waiter we had was overly so: calling the men at the table buds and buddies. A word to the owner, and they were sirs and gentlemen on his next trip to take an order.
(3)Chris H.
My first time visiting this place and I really liked it. Service was really good, but more important the food was excellent. I ordered their salad, soup & half sandwich combo. I'm not a potato soup lover, but I really enjoyed their version-- topped with bacon and chives...YUMMY! I didn't expect the sandwich to be as good as it was. Lots of good turkey meat with fresh avocado, bacon, tomato on sourdough. I even really enjoyed the side salad because of the delicious balsamic dressing. I would definitely go back!
(5)John G.
My family came to the opening of this new restaurant -- a variant of the "Good Egg" and "U.S. Egg" theme, though unrelated -- and REALLY liked the menu, the atmosphere and most particularly the service. The waffles are HUGE and tasty. Their omelets are fluffy and filled with interesting combinations (they'll custom-build yours if you like) ... their Eggs Benedict are amazing. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but everything sure looks good, and each has a little creative twist that takes it out of the ordinary. They serve different strengths of coffee in carafes; I prefer the "bold" flavor. Our business networking group used to meet Thursday mornings at the IHOP a mile or so to the west, until food, management and service at IHOP became so awful we had to look for another place. We found it at "The Egg I Am", which has been our regular meeting place for several weeks now, and a five-star experience for every one in the group. (Why do they not use the name "The Egg and I" like the rest of the chain? I guess because that name was already copyrighted to another entity in Arizona. So they chose a name that sounds kind of Dr.-Seuss-ian ... and just BTW, our regular server's name is Sam. They might even make green eggs. You could ask.) =D
(5)bill k.
Comfortable setting, good menu, main courses tasty. Two requests of "the egg".......step up your coffee - it's too weak.... and..... syrup for pancakes is watery and tasteless. Overall.....good enough to give you another chance.
(3)Carol L.
Really enjoyed breakfast here. Food was delicious and wait staff was friendly . I've been looking for a place in Scottsdale that understands that green chile is a must-have breakfast condiment, and I've finally found it! When the meals arrived they were hot, perfectly cooked, and large portions. Two minor quibbles: the food was a little slow arriving (almost 30 minutes from the time we sat down), and I like my coffee a little stronger. Overall, an enjoyable dining experience, terrific food, and we'll definitely be back.
(4)Brad G.
It's the Good Egg, except it's more consistent and the food seems fresher.
(4)John R.
Stopped in during a recent 3 day stay for the Phoenix Open. Ended up eating here every morning. Great service, food, coffee. I'm not a heavy breakfast person, but the variety here gave plenty of choices. Had the Artichoke Benedict Florentine first day, and then got hooked on the dressed up oatmeal (granola, blueberries, raspberries on top, fruit on side) next 2 days. Great breakfasts, filling and healthy choices, and the price was right. Our servers were friendly and fast every day. (Wed, Thu, Fri) Highly recommended.

The hazelnut coffee here is amazing! I wish I could say the same about service. My two children and I waited almost two hours to get our food. We were told that the waitress dropped the plates the first time so they had to remake the food. I am not surprised because I have never seen so many dropped plates and spills. It was a comedy of errors. The waitress spilled cream all over our table and then had an attitude with the kids when they asked her to clean it up. She actually left cream on the chairs, in my bag, etc. Not a good experience. To make it worse, the owner was there and never once came to our table to apologize for the delay or make an effort to smooth things over. It is not easy keeping a 4 and 8 year old quiet when they have to wait so long for breakfast. The food was below average. The pancakes were very dense and dry. There are much better breakfast places in Scottsdale which is a shame because the coffee is really good.
(2)Deb E.
Breakfast is wonderful ! Our first time here loved it as we walked in the door. & was welcomed by the owner Robin . I had chile relleno & eggs YUMMY. My man went for the healthy breakfast oatmeal w fruit which was really good . We are coming back to check out the lunch menu . We are hooked. .
(5)David B.
Had breakfast for Fathers Day with a party of 12. We were seated and served promptly. The food was at our table very soon after ordering and it tasted great. I really liked this place. The hostess and waitress were great! I will return!
(5)Elisha T.
Food was good, but the place is dirty and the staff makes you feel like you are inconveniencing them. Everything is sticky and the dishes were dirty too. Service was slow too. Very impersonal wait staff.
(1)Michael T.
This place is like 'Good Egg', but on steroids. Service is friendly and quick. Their omlettes, pancakes, and waffles are really good for breakfast. For lunch, get their iced tea - it's made in house and delicious. Their sandwiches are very tasty, and never disappoint.
(5)Tom Y.
Stopped in for a quick bfast while daughter was playing tennis nearby at SRP. Had corned beef hash and eggs. They were quick, courteous and reasonably priced...especially for Scottsdale. Probably wouldn't make it a destination given all of the cool restaurants in The Phoenix area but I would definitely go back if in the area!
(4)Marty F.
Ive been here a couple times because it's pretty close to my girlfriends house. I do enjoy their food and the service is good. Not a whole lot to say. It's a good breafkast spot!
(4)Emma S.
We had dogs with us and they were very accommodating! The Manager was super nice and obviously a dog lover! Service on the other hand was average. Server was nice but not great. She did tell us it was her 2nd day, which is fine but she forgot our toast as a Side and didnt put sour cream on the side. Just a bit annoying. We left without ever receiving the toast yet it was still on our bill which was a hassle to take off. Food was average. Omelette was small and seemed like something out of a carton. And a little bland with the favors. I don't think I'll ever be back, simply based on the fact that I wasn't amazed and there are so many other great breakfast places in the area. At least I gave it a try...
(2)Liz L.
Good food, reasonable prices and friendly staff! Would recommend it if you're nearby.
(4)Inday C.
My husband and I love this place, good breakfast setting in the nice neighborhood of Scottsdale Ranch. They offer several choices for Eggs Benedict including a vegetarian choice. However, the cook has a tendency to overcook the poached eggs... But if you say someting about it to your server, they are very gracious and will replace it immediately to make things right. They have a variety of coffee flavors, bottomless of course! Healthy choices are available for the sportsminded or those who like to fill up on protein. Good choices for the vegetarian eaters and yes, kid's meal is available too. For those who are not big egg eaters, they have other choices too. Lunch choices is on the menu. Service is good, super friendly staff. Definitely worth a try!
(4)Larry B.
Good utility breakfast. They have an excellent Tortilla soup. My father in law had Philly Cheese Steak Eggs Benedict with hollandaise on the side. I opted for one of their skillets. Now that Dragon fly closed down I'm bummed, but this place definitely hit the spot. Service was also great!

We eventually walked out and went somewhere else. We will NOT be returning to try their food!!

Absolutely awesome. Great service. Very friendly and comfortable. Very clean. Crab cakes Benedict were perfect. Crab cake stood up to the hollandaise and egg without turning mushy, and you could taste the crab. Need one if these in Ahwatukee!

I ventured here for a good breakfast a couple weeks ago and got WAY more than that. I came by myself but felt like I walked into a family when seated. The hostess was so kind and welcoming, the food was incredible, and don't even get me started on my waitress who made me want to change the world for better. I was hungry... like really hungry so I ordered not only an egg white omlete with fruit but a huge apple granola pancake as well. You guys... I was maybe like 7 bites away from finishing it! The omlete was cooked perfectly topped with avocado and the fruit was fresh. And, the pancake - oh my gosh so good. The granola inside the pancake was such a great unique twist. You have a few options for the kind of brew you want for your coffee and they bring it to you in a huge caraf for refills galore! This made my heart flutter. As I mentioned, I had the ultimate waitress named Michelle. Want to smile and feel nurtured with love? Ask to sit in her section - trust me! She was the best part of my experience here.
(5)Diane M.
Been many times and always enjoy. Staff are friendly and they never rush you. Great for gals who meet to share a meal and catch up as we can talk at length......The fresh fruit cup is good and the eggs Benedict-come in many tempting variations ,never had a bad meal!

If you love eggs this is the place. Nice owner, great food, relaxing place. Food is always good! Accommodates groups in private space.
(4)Frank M.
Actually. I gave it a one-star only because the food is fairly good. Too bad the owner treats her customers and employees in such a rude and disrespectful manner. For the life of me I don't understand why anyone would want to work at this establishment. The owner is totally clueless that it's her customers who are responsible for her having a successful business. She obviously doesn't care if she treats you rudely, as she knows there are plenty of people who will accept such shoddy treatment. If you want to spend your hard earned money on a business who really doesn't care if you patronize the place or not, I say "you get what you pay for."

This is one of those restaurants you'll treat like your hair stylist. You'll keep their location to yourself so they don't get too busy. Believe me, they can handle the rush. Mom and pop owned, you'll feel like you're at home with consistently good food and a large selection to choose from. I have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. I chatted with the owner "mom", Robyn. She is thoroughly concerned with every person having a positive experience and treats all regulars like family. Very enjoyable, among the best breakfast restaurants in the state for sure.

Bonus points for a cute name. This Egg I Am is one of only two Arizona locations. It's a locally owned franchise of The Egg and I (not nearly as cute of a name), a small Colorado based company. That's local enough for me. I have not eaten here much. I had very good customer service today, unlike complaints in some other Yelp reviews. Greeted promptly. Coffee offered promptly. Order taken promptly. You get the idea. The food did take a while to arrive at the table, but it was hot and fresh when it did arrive. Everything was fine. Nothing we ordered wowed us. It strikes me as very similar in vibe to The Good Egg. I plan to come back and be a little more adventurous in my ordering next time. Perhaps sit outside on the small patio. I'm also curious to see how they do on a busy Sunday morning. It's not a particularly large restaurant, which I like. It may deserve another star. FYI, The Egg I Am is more of an egg establishment than a pancake place, thus the name. Whole wheat pancakes are the basic offering, made edible, however, by really good warm pancake syrup.

Presentation was good. Food was way too salty and lacked flavor. The fruit platter was one of the better ones seen in a while. Our side of salsa took 10 minutes to get here which was about enough time to finish our meal. We did walk right in and get a seat. It's quite and service was good (besides the salsa which didn't seem to be her fault)

LOUSY!!! Darn can't give a no star review! As a frequent visitor of this restaurant, I knew I wanted the Parisian Benedict and Hazelnut Coffee before the hostess even seated me and gave me a menu at 7:05! After waiting 10 minutes without even seeing a waitstaff person, I decided to go somewhere else. The hostess advised me that the waitress was working on a broken blender. She surely could have worked on the broken blender while my breakfast was being prepared! I hope she got the blender fixed because she surely fixed me!!! I know now never to frequent this joint again! Oh well, another restaurant written off my list... I can live without them!!!

IHOP has nothing to worry about. That's where I tend to go to breakfast when I want a good quality breakfast for an average to good price. However, on Sunday they tend to have long lines and a long wait. So I chose "The Egg I am" as a second choice. Never been there before so I tried it. Ordered The whole wheat pancake that came with two eggs and two strips of bacon. The poached eggs came with some water on the dish so I soaked it up with a napkin. Bacon was good, not too salty. The whole wheat pancake was uneventful. I don't know what I disliked about it the most but I would never order it again and it doesn't light a candle to IHOP's Harvest Grain whole wheat pancakes. OOPs, did i mention IHOP again? Hubby, who always watches his svelte figure, decided that he didn't want anything that came with meats--so he went as an "independent" so to speak---a la carte as they say in the restaurant business. He wanted two eggs scrambled, rye toast, and home fries. Sorry, no home fries here (he loves home fries---his heart must have been broken, but he didn't say a word because "Eggs I am" was my choice) . Did I tell you IHOP makes excellent home fries?? Oops. They offered him Ranch potatoes instead. What the H... are those, we wondered and soon found out. Ranch potatoes are these pale cubes of tasteless potatoes. Couldn't you put a crisp on those potatoes on the grill right before you are going to serve them to your clients who got out of bed, brushed their teeth, showered, combed their hair, got dressed, and gassed up the car just to get to you for breakfast on a Sunday morning???????? BTW, Mr. Slim and Trim (hubby) asked for the scrambled eggs to be made dry --meaning no butter. So when they arrived, I asked if I could taste them. And then the revelation: These tasted like an egg mix not real eggs. Just like they do in Las Vegas buffets.... they have a mix that they add water to and voila scrambled eggs. We asked Carol our waitress and she said they were fresh eggs. Deny, deny, deny. I have tasted these "paste" eggs before and I can tell the difference. Hubby poured a bunch of jalapeño hot sauce on the eggs and was able to eat them with his toast. Did we say toast? The definition of toast is that bread is darkened on both sides. This rye bread did not enter the crevices of any working toaster. It was so light that I asked him if he wanted real toast, but hubby being the gentlemen that he is said that the toast was OK. Do we go out to have food that is OK??? I can make better than OK food (at least for breakfast). This is why standards in restaurants go downhill because people like Mr. Slim and Trim say it is OK. To top off the experience, I checked the bill and it had other items added to it. Did I have iced tea? Nope. Did I have coffee? Nope. Nothing like a padded bill to top off a bad breakfast. Oh, excuse me. I don't want Mr. Slim and Trim to be offended---an OK breakfast.

Had the best chicken salad sandwich ever today! I had the most friendliest server. Thank you Adam for being so detailed oriented with my lunch and making sure it came out perfect. I'll definitely be back and ask to have Adam as my server again!!

Very poor customers service. Very slow to bring out the food and drinks . The worst part it wasn't busy at all !! I am taking my business to IHOP a much cheaper and more efficient place to get breakfast !
(1)Ethan B.
Well now I know why 'egg' is in the name. They have omelettes and skillets which is fine. But what if you don't want eggs? Well there's French toast, oh wait that has eggs. Well what about pancakes, no eggs again. That's ok i'll just have a waffle-EGGS. The food was good, waffle was a bit dry but there are eggs everywhere. You can ask for it without but if you didn't know it came with eggs, you'll get an eggy pancake. I'm surprised there isn't egg coffee! If you want eggs, great! If not maybe try somewhere else.

My prime spot for eggs Benedict. Outstanding staff. Delicious food. Great atmosphere and music. Keep finding myself coming back all the time but never writing a review. I strongly recommend everyone to try this gem out. I'm sure you will find yourself coming back as well.

I'm angry giving this place ONE star. Yesterday morning, my boyfriend and I wanted to try a new place for Sunday brunch. We called at 10:55 and were told there was no wait, so we drove to The Egg I Am. We arrived and were told there 4 parties ahead of us waiting to be seated (wtf?) which is fine given it was a Sunday morning - but why lie about that on the phone? Okay, whatever. We were seated after about 15 minutes at a booth right behind the host stand. I felt like I was on a cruise ship, because the guy sitting behind me was fidgeting and it shook our entire table. I figured I wouldn't say anything about it since I would be focused on eating my food in just a few minutes. Our server came by; she was friendly and took our order. I got the daily special - a "BTO" croissant. While we were waiting for our food, the couple sitting behind us left and two workers came by to clean up their table. They proceeded to bitch about how messy people left tables and how customers would leave their own kitchens in the manner in which they left restaurant tables. Okay, it is COMMON SENSE to not bitch about your job/customers around other patrons! Like, I understood their frustrations, but seriously..m professionalism please? So we get our food. My sandwich was SOGGY, meaning the croissant was previously frozen and microwaved. Ugh. The food was completely lackluster, unmemorable, and average at best. Little egg/meat, tons of greast, canola oiled potatoes. We get our check and are ready to leave when I notice I was overcharged for my meal. The special was listed as $8.79. I was charged $9.99 plus $0.99 for substituting egg whites. Nowhere did it say egg whites were extra, but whatever. So I go up to this counter and explain to the apathetic 16 year old hostess that I was overcharged. She called over her manager, who looked at my bill, rolled her eyes, and mumbled to the girl "This is a $0.20 difference" as if to imply that I was some cheap idiot wasting her time. I pointed out that actually I had been overcharged $2.20, NOT $0.20. She rolled her eyes, fixed my tab, and walked away. Seriously lady? Even if it WAS only $0.20, then YOU can pull the change out of YOUR pocket to pay my tab. I was appalled at the rudeness of the staff at this "establishment." I can honestly say it was the first meal/restaurant to leave a sour taste in my mouth. Whoever owns this place needs to clean house and hire competent staff. In an economy like ours, I seriously wonder how these people have jobs.

Hmmmm, I love the name of this place. I have a friend that I meet every month for breakfast so we can catch up with each other's lives. . Every month we pick a new, different place. Sometimes they're just okay, other times it's on our list to return. Egg I AM is a place we plan to meet again our next visit. It was clean, the staff was extremely kind and attentive and it was a place that we could easily chat and not strain to hear each other. (some places are not conducive to conversation). I had a great experience and the food was excellent. The potatoes are called ranch potatoes and were really tasty. I thought it was a great choice...I suggest you give it a try for yourself. I loved it!

I visited for the second time today and the service was unbelievably bad this time. The hostess greeted and sat me promptly but then I was left for many minutes without even an acknowledgement from my server. Once she finally did arrive all I got was "are you ready?". I ordered the "Eggceptional Omelet" which was piping hot and delicious, thankfully. Another gal dropped off the food and continued snubbing me. Placing the plate on my table and promptly turning her head to spot some people at the table next to me. She recognized them and went over to chat for several minutes. Never asked me if I desired anything else. A few minutes later my server returned to and ask if everything was okay. I requested a refill of water. She brought a small carafe of water and the check. It was wrong. The check was for a group of 3 when I was dining solo. No thanks, I don't care to pay for their meal. It was easily remedied of course, but still, such a mixup shouldn't happen when the place is so quiet. Seems you have to be a regular to get some decent attention at this place. Or at least a group of more than one.

I enjoyed the chicken hash with pork verde. Very healthy portion but I finished it all. I had ordered a side of salsa which didn't show up until the near end of my meal. Wasn't the end of the world as the verde sauce was very good. Our server was friendly and service was quick. A friend had ordered a Spanish dish and requested the verde and salsa on the side but, it came out with both items on his order. Our server at least acknowledged the mistake and would have corrected it but he was fine with it. Overall I enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere and would have given 4 stars if not for the mistakes made.

I love breakfast and will eat it three times a day if I have the chance. I also love being able to walk to a restaurant so if I stuff my piehole full of food I can bask in the delusion that that little bit of exercise will burn the food off. The Egg I Am offers breakfast deliciousness (until mid-afternoon) and within walking distance! My husband and I are creatures of habit and once we find a good thing we rarely deviate on the menu. My husband is a Benedict man and I have never been disappointed with the build-your-own omelette. I really like that they offer turkey sausage for those of us that don't eat a lot of mammals. I will keep coming back as long as they are there.
(4)Chi D.
What is bad about the food at The Egg I Am? Nothing! Food is just simply delicious. We live right down the street so, have gotten some big investment into this little breakfast place. Yum! Now the service, it could get slow pretty often unfortunately. One time we sat right in the middle of the restaurant and...our waitress didn't even know we were there until...some 20 minutes later when we decided to speak up...But that happens everywhere so, can be forgivable. As long as they keep your food good, I am fine!
(5)Alex G.
Had a nice breakfast, I tried the Mexican Omelette and it was very good. I recommend getting the salsa on the side as my omelette had a lot of salsa on it. They had fresh squeezed lemonade which was really good as well. If you need to get some breakfast this place was great since it's in a nice location.
(4)M G.
The manager is rude no only to customers but to her employees as well! Save yourself the money and make breakfast at home!!!
(1)Natalia G.
The food here is amazing! I consider my boyfriend and I to be regulars since we have been coming here for about 1 1/2 years. We live down the street and the location is absolutely beautiful. My boyfriend and I have no complaints and we have recommended The Egg I Am to friends and family. Not sure what the complaints from other users regarding the owner, Robin. I think she is a fantastic person overall, very well-respected and has been nothing, but kind to me since I have been coming here. I feel sorry for the other users who cannot see that she is running a business and do not know what it's like to run a business. Great food and great service.

Was at Mayo for Dr. appt. Found on Yelp. Great choice. Everyone smiles. Coffee great. Had Colorado Jack- even salsa warm. Food excellent. Coffee never empty. Service fast enough. Start of great day.

Polite service and food arrived fast on my visit, but food was unremarkable. Always have high hopes for local places like this because they have greater potential to stand out over some of the breakfast chains that are peppered across the valley.
(3)John B.
Dont eat here unless you want mediocre food and terrible service. The owner or whatever woman is in charge is extremely rude, and extremely unprofessional. So is the the service staff, but you could expect that from teenagers, not grown adults.
(1)Jen G.
I was delightfully impressed on my 1st visit to The Egg I am. The owner, Robyn was greeting everyone; the regulars and new customers, like myself, as if we were family. Even other customers were eager to have conversations with me. I felt very welcome, the staff was kind & prompt and the owner took time to visit with me. I ordered a sandwich & salad; very well plated & delicious. I recommend this place to anyone. thanks, you made my day. :) Jen G.

I had a most delicious brunch today of apple pancakes bacon and eggs. Kristina was our server and Greg heads up the kitchen. It is a beautiful spot only open til 2 but no one herds you out if you dtay beyond that time. The coffee comes in a pot very very good!
(4)Mary Y.
Love this breakfast spot! -Coffee: There's different FLAVORS like Vanilla Nut and Hazelnut and Regular (free refills) -Great place for a meeting or just to have breakfast/brunch with friends -lots of parking - don't forget to pick up a frequent diner's punch card!
(4)Mya T.
After much prodding from my Sister in Law, we went. Awful. The eggs on my plate were overdone, while my daughters plate was raw. My husband's omelet was wrong and we didn't even get a sorry. We felt rushed to eat and leave.
(2)Dave T.
I've been here a couple times. It's pretty basic, but it's not very pricey and it's pretty good food. I'm really impressed by the Bacon, the size of the Pancakes, the Egg-Ceptional Omelette, and the very fast service. I wouldn't say it's better food overall than "Breakfast Club," "Orange Table," or "Morning Squeeze," but if you're in the area, you could do worse than "The Egg I Am."
(4)Diana B.
The best, the best. Really know how to scramble and cook!! Coffee is amazing. The owner Robyn is great!!! A must for anyone!!!
(5)Brenda B.
I've been here a few times when I have friends in town this is always the breakfast/brunch place I take them to. On this particular visit we noticed that on the special's board they had a Salted Carmel Mocha hot chocolate so we all decided to give it a try. Let me just say... OMG! Rich chocolate carmel-y heaven in a glass! The consensus around the table was... This is dangerous. I ended up ordering the Florentine Benedict with the Ranch Potatoes. The Benedict was really good, but I tend to like my eggs a tad bit runnier than what came out. Really though it wasn't that big of a deal because taste wise it was still really good. Those ranch potatoes though, you must give them a try. Seriously, they are always seasoned perfectly every time I visit, and are crunchy on the outside / soft and warm on the inside. Haha there wasn't a single potato on anyone's plate when we left, they are that good. So if you're on this side of town and are looking for a breakfast/brunch type place... I'd highly recommend The Egg I Am.
(5)Cori L.
A perfect way to start the day! Just had breakfast here and it was great! Staff was friendly, owner was available and attentive. Did not feel rushed to get out like at so many local breakfast places. Noise level was very low (again, not like other places that assault your ears first thing). Food came out fast. Caraf of coffee and water (so appreciated!) Prices were great! We had french toast - great! With REAL warmed maple syrup. And eggs benedict - yummy! Cooked to perfection. I love that it is locally owned and the owner is there making sure things go ok.

Located at the corner of Via Linda and Mountain View, The Egg I Am is an unassuming gem! My daughter and I went for a late brunch today. The restaurant closes at 2:30, so, by the time we got there at 1:45, we pretty much had free reign of the place. We noticed a sign saying that the patio was open for seating, but surprisingly, it was too cold for us to sit there today, as it was completely shaded when we were seated. Instead, we opted to sit by one of the large windows that overlooked Via Linda. The owner seated us, and gave us each a menu. Now, having a toddler, I'm accustomed to seeing kids menus with crayons to placate the children as they wait for their food. However, The Egg I Am does't use crayons, they use colored pencils. I know that probably doesn't sound very earth shattering, but it was different, and a nice touch. It's nice to see a place try and do things a little differently. The food itself is fantastic! My daughter ordered off of the children's menu, as everything there is just under $5.00. She opted for the kids' cheeseburger with fresh fruit. I had to do a double take when her plate arrived, because the burger was huge! It was easily 1/4lb. Needless to say, my three-year-old could only finish about a quarter of the burger during our visit. It DID make for nice leftovers, though. I, trying to maintain some semblance of a healthy diet, opted for the Vera Cruz Chicken and Avocado Omelette yelp.com/biz_photos/G9r4… . This is an egg white omelette with diced chicken, tomatoes, onions and green chiles, topped with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses and fresh avocado, served with a side of fresh fruit and a small bowl of salsa. It is nothing short of spectacular, imho yelp.com/biz_photos/G9r4… . It's one of those meals, that no matter how large the portions may be, you'll always wish there was just one more bite! Interesting side note: as we finished up our meals, two ladies sat behind us, and started asking questions about the menu. I happened to overhear that the restaurant makes their soups fresh each and every day. This is a great place to come for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. One note of caution: be mindful of the hours of operation. The Egg I Am is never open past 2:30 in the afternoon yelp.com/biz_photos/G9r4… . So, plan accordingly, and ENJOY!

Another excellent breakfast! I know they have other food, but I can't get past the green chili chicken hash. It's delicious! Service was great with a lovely table out on the patio. Can't say enough about how great this place is.

Great food but a bit of a wait to get seated looks like short of wait staff. I had the Parisian Benedict and it was delicious. Friendly owner and staff. Nice atmosphere

Normally give this place a 4 . But today was do bad my wife ordered French toast no powder sugar got 1/2 piece of toast took over 1 hour 30 mins.

If you like flat tasteless omelets then this is the place for you. Normally you pour eggs in a hot pan, then lift the edges while cooking which creates a light and fluffy place to put yummy fillings. Not here. Instead, they slop some eggs in a pan then drop a few measly ingredients directly into the raw egg mix, flip it, fold it over and call it an omelet while resembles a folded over egg disc. Since this method will only hold minimal ingredients without falling apart that is exactly what you get, which saves money for them and cheapens the product for us. In addition, they most likely cooked it on low heat based on the results, you don't have to monitor it, it just congeals, hence the FLAT egg cake. Again, saves time for them, crappy product for us. No thanks! Because I was visiting some acquaintances, I ended up going here two days in a row. I actually asked the second day for a regular omelet with fillings inside, was told "okay" and got the same cheap omelet again, not to mention some other issues that happened with my food. Anything out of the norm and they fall to pieces there. I don't know how this place is so successful serving eggs like this. YUCK!
(2)Krajack L.
I really wanted to like this place because a. It's across the street from my house, b. I love breakfast food and c. The complex itself is awesome. But unfortunately, the food was mediocre and the hostess/manager was really rude to the staff that surrounded her. My boyfriend and I went there for my birthday breakfast and she was yelling at the other hostess and doing it loudly enough that we could hear her. I am a firm believer in treating employees fairly and with respect, and she showed none. As far as the food goes, like I said...mediocre. I won't be going back there anytime soon, regardless of its awesome location and my love for breakfast food.

Two stars might be a stretch. And we wanted this to be good as it is a short bike ride from our house. We ordered a Mexican platter and hash and eggs. The hash was tasteless. Nothing there, it looked like it came out of a frozen bag or something. The Mexican platter could have been good, but half of the the potato chunks were raw and it was supposed to come with chorizo. Well, when we sent it back to the kitchen they said it indeed had chorizo in it. There was either such a fine trace of it or they don't know what chorizo is. The good, the server let us start over with new orders so we tried pancakes and French toast. These were okay, but just okay, nothing special. I think what breakfast places miss is that for $10 a plate you have to make it a little better than just ok. The decor was nice and the coffee was good. Server handled the situation well, but was really disappointed that the manager (or the person that might have been an owner) didn't ever come by to say something. Probably 1.5 stars, but wont go back, would rather have a dingy hole in the wall with food that has some flavor...

Comfortable setting, good menu, main courses tasty. Two requests of "the egg".......step up your coffee - it's too weak.... and..... syrup for pancakes is watery and tasteless. Overall.....good enough to give you another chance.
