Eggsquis earns praise for very fast service and a traditional breakfast, with many noting a pleasant atmosphere and good value, but several reviews describe a troubling pricing practice around the early riser special where the full price is charged unless the deal is clearly requested and the beans included in the special are omitted, with a blunt reply when asked, which gives the impression that profit takes precedence over transparency. Dishes sometimes fall short, with eggs that arrive runny or overcooked, bacon that seems past date, potatoes and sausages that are ordinary, coffee that is not great, and fruit not particularly fresh. Other diners report fast, efficient service, friendly staff, a renovated space, and food described as good with reasonable prices. During a heat wave, the air conditioning was functional but the interior could feel as hot as outside, and staff appeared tired while maintaining courtesy. Overall Eggsquis is viewed as a popular brunch spot with strong points in speed, service, and quality, tempered by pricing concerns and occasional inconsistency in menu items.View restaurant profile
