Reviews summary

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.

Was Josie F at Eggshell Cafe a mag?

more of a simplistic breakfast joint which i appreciate. The ham cheese and pineapple melt was on point and the thought of adding a cookie with the coffee was so thoughtful. Its the small things that count View all feedback.

What lisatehm dislikes about Eggshell Cafe:

My large coffee and eggs with tomato and avocado, with a side of mushrooms came to about $23. Service was quick and efficient. And whilst I got exactly what I ordered, the meal was meh. It didn't taste like it had been seasoned at all and was rather lacklustre. I won't be back. View all feedback.

Eggshell Cafe, as tragic as having an eggshell in your scrambled eggs. the food is bland and cold. coffee is pretty average, the staff there seem to not know how to give proper change ???? overall wouldn't come back to this eggshell

Nothing particularly noteworthy about Eggshell but nothing particularly disparaging either. My omelette was very generous in size, filled with ample ham, mushroom and gooey mozzarella and filled me up for the day. Decent enough coffee also. It's a serviceable interior decor at best, so the option of a table in the morning sunshine on the sidewalk is a good thing.

It was a great exeperience at Eggshell Cafe. The food was great, especially the Big Breakie had made me full and the coffee had made me awake for the rest of the day. Strongly recommend for brunch in the heart of the CBD

Nice cafe up in Macquire street :). Quite spacious. It took a while for the food to come but the food was pretty good ;). Good presentation. I like the chilli cheese scramble egg i ordered!

Popped in here for a very last minute breakfast before work seminar. Coffee was average. Avoid the breakfast muffin like the plague - the lady said she could make it for me very quickly but I didn't realise this meant it was actually pre-made! All she did was reheat it and it was the most tasteless bacon and egg muffin I'd ever had.

We went to the Eggshell in Sydney today. Orders coffee and tea and two Bacon Lettuce Tomato Sandwiches for breakfast and received an order number. The male service that brought the drinks immediately found us, the female service brought the sandwiches who has called, and snuffed us if we can't English. Sorry, however, at a order number and the order in full words we were not set to take a shortcut. We were very upset about the snoody kind and, yes, young lady we can speak English. At the moment, I can't imagine visiting the eggshell again.

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.

Went there on Saturday morning for brunch We ordered X-any factor which is croissant with chilli eggs, bacon, tomato, grilled mushroom and avocado. It was tasty. The beef burger with pineapple was delicious too. It came with hot chips.Service was ok. You need order at the counter.
