Description

Eggshell Café on Macquarie Street is a spacious and cozy spot for breakfast or brunch. While the service may be hit or miss, the food is generally well-received, with dishes like chili cheese-scramble eggs, ham cheese and pineapple melt, Eggs Benedict with bacon, and Big Breakie impressing diners. The coffee is decent, and the latte comes with a sweet twist. The cafe offers both indoor and outdoor seating, with friendly service and thoughtful touches like a cookie with your coffee. While some may find the decor serviceable at best, the food and overall experience make it a worthwhile spot for a quick and satisfying meal in the heart of the CBD.

A casual cafe right near the State Library. Has reasonable good (I had the chicken schnitty) at great prices, coffee that does the job and nice intellectual puzzles on the walls.

Work nearby this cafe, always got my coffee n the occasional pastry from Eggshell. The business owner and staff know me and have always been nice n friendly.This is the first time I’ve had a proper, cooked lunch: ordered their corn fritters with poached eggs and added on bacon.The verdict? Definitely value for money, and tastes very good. Even though I’m not the biggest fan of corn, the fritters are v nice n crispy around the edges. Eggs were poached perfectly and they’re very generous with the amount of bacon given. As always, will be back again!

I’ve passed this cafe many a times on Macquarie Street but never wondered in. Stomach was grumbling for breakfast and headed on in. There tables inside and out. Grab a menu and table, decide what you want and go up to register to place your order and pay. You’re given a number and they’ll bring your meals/drinks out. Service is quite friendly here. <br/ <br/ Went with a Eggs Benedict With Bacon and Cream Brulee Latte. Eggs were poached perfectly with runny yolks. Served on top of bacon, spinach, and toast. Very tasty combined with the hollandaise sauce. The latte was good but quite sweet due to syrup added. Served with a mini cookie on the side.
