A benchmark for the gourmet egg sandwich. The eggs are scrambled to an incredibly soft, custardy texture and balanced by the sweetness of the caramelized onions and the subtle heat of the sriracha mayo, all on a warm, buttered brioche bun.
Tips from diners
The eggs are very soft, so the sandwich is quite messy to eat. Grab extra napkins before you find a spot to sit.
The dish that defined the brand. It's a technical masterpiece of simplicity: a coddled egg is carefully cooked on top of an incredibly smooth, buttery potato purée in a glass jar, then topped with gray salt and chives. It's meant to be stirred and spread over the accompanying toasted baguette.
Tips from diners
Stir it well! You want every bite to have that perfect ratio of silky potato and rich, runny egg yolk.
A perfect sweet companion to their savory sandwiches. The cookie is baked to a soft texture with plenty of high-quality chocolate chunks and finished with a generous sprinkle of sea salt to cut through the sweetness.
Tips from diners
These are baked fresh daily and are often still warm if you visit in the morning. Great for a quick dessert.
A refined version of the breakfast staple. It uses thick-cut, high-quality bacon and a house-made chipotle ketchup that adds a subtle smokiness and heat, offering a more interesting profile than your standard deli version.
Tips from diners
The chipotle ketchup is the secret. It gives the classic combo a nice, modern kick.
For those who want something more substantial. The high-quality Wagyu tri-tip is perfectly cooked and balanced by the sharp, acidic punch of the fresh chimichurri and the peppery crunch of the arugula, topped with a runny-yolk egg.
Tips from diners
The wagyu tri-tip is the star here. It's a much heartier option than the Fairfax if you're visiting for a late lunch.
