10.10 sale-day breakfast date — Eggo Heartbreak (heart-shaped sourdough on creamy scrambled eggs) and a mocha with latte art. $6.50 + $10.
10.10 sale day breakfast with BB at a café — went for the Eggo Heartbreak + a mocha. Cute heart-themed plating on a black marble counter. $16.50. 😋
What was on the slate plate ($6.50 + $10):
- Eggo Heartbreak ($10) — two halves of toasted sourdough cut into the silhouette of a broken heart (the “heartbreak” pun), laid on top of a generous mound of slow-cooked creamy scrambled eggs dusted with smoked paprika and cracked black pepper.
- Mocha ($6.50) — served in a tall stemless glass mug with foam rosetta latte art sitting on top, the dark chocolate-coffee mix swirling at the bottom.
The Eggo Heartbreak is the café’s signature breakfast pun-plate — the cute heart shape gets you in for the photo, the slow-scrambled eggs sell you on the food. The scrambled eggs were the cloud-soft style (cooked low and slow with butter rather than over high heat) which is the proper restaurant style.
Sourdough was toasted with the right amount of char on the edges — crispy enough to scoop without flopping, soft inside enough to absorb egg juices.
Mocha pulled well — proper espresso base + chocolate syrup ratio, the latte art held up through the photo opportunity. Hot enough to drink slowly.
Total: $16.50 for the set.
Overall: 4.2 / 5. Aesthetic plate, solid scrambled eggs, mocha was good not great. Brunch café execution was on point. Heart-shape plating ruined the bread silhouette a bit (you lose some crust real estate) but it’s the visual selling point. 😍👍🏼
