Eggshell Bistro

This is a new favorite brunch spot. The menu is unique, the coffee is wonderful and my server, Isabella was exceptional. I had the rosemary ham tart which was a fantastic globally inspired take on a traditional American style breakfast.

You know when you go back after a year and order Labneh Tartine again without knowing that was the same dish you ordered a year ago, it confirms the dish was THAT good! The flavors between tangy, sweet and sour were yet again epic! Pretty regular customer flow for a weekday it was delicious espresso and a lovely dish! The ciabatta added a nice crunch and texture! The fusion flavors were so evident. Okay must try!

Not a fan of Eggshell Bistro!It took a while for our food to arrive, they appeared to have one server and maybe two cooks. I ordered the mango tart and was very disappointed. Some may consider the resturant to have old world charm, it appeared to be in need a complete make-over and the restrooms were in need of cleaning.

I had high expectations coming in but left a little disappointed. The inside had that European bistro feel but the food was mid at best and the service was very very slow. I would have understood if they were busy but such was not the case.I ordered the truffled egg brioche: truffled egg tartine, sous-vide poached hen's egg, roasted asparagus, truffle oil, preserved lemon, watercress, bottarga, fontina. It took almost 45 minutes after placing the order and it was without much flavor. I asked for ground pepper and our server brought out a very small amount in a dish. I'l plan to return and check out some of their offerings.

We were staying at the nearby Hotel Carmichael so we decided to pop in for a late breakfast. I have to eat gluten-free and only did a quick glance at the menu before stopping in because breakfast is usually pretty easy for me to eat. I had one option on the short menu. My friend and I ordered different items-she had a quiche and I had dukka eggs. Both were very tasty. For me, normally, I would have likely opted for a different dish but I was pleased! She was happy with her breakfast and tea that was served in a lovely Staub teapot. Our service was quick and friendly. Coffee art was beautiful. When you walk in it feels like you've stepped right into a lovely Parisian bistro.

The moment you walk into this place, you know you're in store for something special. It has a shabby sheik feel with a relaxing European ambiance. Don't be in a rush when you come in cause it's not exactly speedy service. That's ok though especially when you know the food will be exceptional once it's placed in front of you. It's refreshing to see that the food here is prepared with love. The chef cares and it shows. The dishes here are on the smaller side than what you're used to. Instead of quantity, they focus on quality. A well prepared savory dish. It was Delicious. If you happen to be in the area and want to try something different, look no further. This is it. Enjoy!

This a lovely hidden gem located within walking distance of Hotel Carmichael and the Carmel Farmers' Market (which is where we came from)! Aesthetically, it's really charming with an eclectic mix of vintage decor and plants, mix-and-matched tables and chairs, with dim lighting.We were greeted promptly by a friendly employee. They were very helpful with our questions about the menu, as well. We ended up ordering the red rooibos cappuccino and a vanilla latte, both with oat milk. If you like your drinks sweet, I would definitely recommend asking for additional sweetener because they were on the bitter side but still delicious. As for meals, we both ordered the shakshuka with two eggs, and extra bread for dipping. It was phenomenal! The flavor was incredible. The tomato sauce was vibrant and full-bodied, but the addition of an herbaceous accompaniment really helped to brighten it. The eggs were runny and the yolk added a creamy element, too. We were both left feeling very content with our impromptu brunch and are glad we gave it a try! We'll definitely be back.There are several vegetarian options and the shakshuka can be made vegan. Their menu also states that they decline alterations to the entree items just fyi!

It was not as big as I was expecting the place to be. It is quaint and clean, a little cluttered though. The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It does take a while to get your food, so do not be in a hurry. The food is great, though eclectic. The food is made from scratch and you can tell. They put a lot of care and love into their food. It may not be for everyone, but if you are into being a little adventurous then you will want to come and check it out.

Fantastic! First time here. Super cute decor, very European. Service was great, very friendly. I had the polar opposite to drink- a milk and espresso hot/cold layered drink-it was delicious! Very unique menu, so if you're looking for an average breakfast with bacon and eggs, this ain't it. This truffle egg on brioche blew my mind! I will definitely be back for the shashuka, which was highly recommended. Great little place!

Our new favorite breakfast place! Incredible food and incredible customer service. We will definitely return.
