No one makes a Coca Cola cake better than West Egg Café. Geniusly incorporating soda into the cake and frosting adds an extra layer of unique sweetness and makes it incredibly light and airy. Read more

The food here is AMAZING. Order the Peachtree Plate and enjoy the best pimento cheese grits in your life. Don't forget to grab the super delish red velvet donuts before leaving either. Sooo Good!

Sean Hamilton

Westside Pileup - amazing! Had 2 groups of 2 next to me ask me what it was and said "it looks fantastic!" I told them it was "fantasticAL!" Seriously though, it's a huge portion . Good for leftovers!

Tatiana Han

It's breakfast . It's southern. It's delicious. A fav when eating w/ friends, but just as lovely to sit on the patio just to read & sip some coffee ! The only thing this place needs is more parking !

Suprachibby

Never had a bad meal here. Very busy for brunch . Worth the wait. Love anything with pimento cheese (omelet , grits ). The best bacon ! Charming atmosphere, great service and affordable .

Djaniella D.

many delicious options to choose from, but the pimento cheese grits is definitely the must try.

Laura Schneider

Definitely try the southern favorites. Biscuits are always fresh, fluffy and delicious. I love the pimento and bacon omelette or spicy black bean and egg breakfast .

Kerrie Doty

I don't think I've had anything bad here. It's hard to go wrong. The desserts are amazing! Coffee is better at Octane down the road , but the food and atmosphere is great.

Tucker W

My fav on the menu is the PB&J Burger : a double patty burger topped w/ pimento cheese , brown sugar bacon , & tomato jam . It's delicious. Get the side salad for bonus points.

Yera Ha

Grab the Peachtree Plate to try all the different flavors of ATL-- the pimiento cheese grits and brown sugar bacon were my faves. Say hey to Quinn at the bar !

Noemi Ramos

Meredith Blechman

Favorite brunch place in Atlanta. Get there early - no reservations and weekend waits to be expected. Walk around west side shops while you wait!

Vicky R

The righteous pie is amazing -- it's some type of brown sugar buttermilk custard with an oatmeal crust. I'd also recommend the pig and grits , especially because of the grits .

Josh Weiss

Urbane and trendy spot for creative types, and the food is authentic and served without attitude. Highly recommend for West Side spot.

Sarah B

BRUNCH ! The wait can be pretty long but trust me, the food is worth it! Pancakes with spiced honey butter are delicious! Georgia Eggs Benedict is amazing! Yum :)

Kyle Bye

The pimento cheese grits are so darn good.

Dan

Egg-cellent place for brunch . Got the fried green tomatoes and cheese grits and candied bacon . It was perfect.

Caroline Eubanks

Go early because there's almost always a line out the door, especially for weekend brunch . If you only want coffee or a piece of cake , go straight to the counter instead of waiting in line .

Mitch Fielder

The PBJ Burger for dinner is one of my favorite burgers in Atlanta. I also love the Short Rib Hash for brunch .

Laura M

Loved this place. Calm atmosphere and great food. There is something to be said for a resturant that has a wait at 3 o clock on a Sunday. Sooo good!

Aisha Whitted

The banana pancakes (with praline pecans ) are some of the best I've ever had!!! Also the salted caramel latte is delish!!!

Andrew C

Great hearty breakfast spot in midtown. Coffee shop at one end for delicious bean juice while you wait.

Madelaine Lowery

Salted caramel latte is great and not too sweet! I also second the fried egg sandwich recommendation. The tomato jam is incredible

Genna Gayon

Try the fried green tomatoes . The Bacon is awesome and grits were so creamy I could eat it all day.

Sabena Virani

If you like carrot cake , you HAVE to get the carrot oatwich. It's your childhood favorite oatmeal sandwich cookie with an adult twist. Absolutely delicious!!

Melvin

Some of the best pancakes in the city . Really good grits as well .

Jennifer Uff.

Black bean cakes and eggs , hold the sour cream , salad instead of grits = the most delicious gluten-free, dairy-free meal ever.

Lairalaine White

The build your own omelette was wonderful. Also, you can substitute the biscuit with another bread if you are counting carbs. I had the English muffin .

Salman Alissa

Egg Sandwich is really special!

Atlanta Food Critic .com

These omelets were cooked to perfection, the ingredients were fresh and the presentation was very good. Melanie said the grits reminded her of the Creamy Dreamy Grits from Flying Biscuit Café . READ FU Read more

Rafael Capone

Everything is great on the menu here!!! And I love this refreshing drink !

Mike

Good brunch and pretty inexpensive . The fried tomato BLT was bomb. Try their cinnamon rolls if you're extra hungry.

Michael Moore

One of the very few places in ATL where you can get an authentic , artisan cappuccino . They use B&B Bohemian Blend. Yum.

J B

Huge menu. The build your own biscuit was great. My friends has the rib hash and loved.

Kristen Leigh

Black bean cakes and eggs is my favorite. Salmon cakes Benedict are a close second. They have the best burger in Atlanta in my opinion. Enjoy!!

Megan Schmitt

Fried egg sandwich , waffle and Eggs Benedict. Long waits , but the food makes it with it. This place is on point.

Amanda Nouhan

Amazing! Great food and excellent staff . Get there early on weekends because the wait can get wild.

Yvonne Smith

Candy Bacon , and Banana Bread French Toast are definitely overboard, but worth the adventure. You won't finish it in one meal.

Krista Robertson

The biscuits and gravy and pimento Mac & cheese are to die for!! It's even better with server Ben. He's an expert in the beers and food

Chuck kik:blakson404

If you like Coffee and like to get tipsy. The Irish Coffee is the way to go.

Jon B.

Fun breakfast join near Tech with great eats and solid coffee . Get there early before the rush.

The fried green tomato blt is amazing! I don't even like pimiento cheese , but I like what they put on this sandwich .

Kelley English

Fries green tomato BLT was amazing with a side of tomato bisque

Anna Ruth Williams

Don't leave without trying the hot caramel cider and a big helping of pimento cheese grits ! Mmmm

Jackson Reeves

Go for the eggs bene . They may taste a tad bland, but they're so healthy (and the new space is so posh) that you should overlook the minimalist use of spices.
