When we walked up we were unsure about them being open or having outdoor seating. A guy opened the door and greeted us and let us know we could sit where we wanted outside or could take out.We choose to sit out on their patio and were immediately brought water and offered drinks. We got hot chocolate and a mimosa. The cream on the hot sauce was fantastic! My mimosa was good and strong.We ordered their breakfast burrito, turkey bacon and gruyere cheese sandwich, and full waffle with strawberries and cream. My sandwich was awesome I loved the bread it was very good combination. The waffle was heaven as well.Customer service was superb. I needed to use the restroom and as soon as I walked in I was greeted by a gentleman that asked if I needed to use the restroom and directed me where to go. It was a bit of obstacle so I very much appreciated the help! Memorable, we will be back when we come back into town!

Great place with good service and yummy food. I had never tried eggs Benedict before but I got the California Benedict and it was delicious. They cook their bacon well-done unless you ask otherwise.

Excellent attention. excellent located. the food very good. and a good atmosphere to share. 100% recommended.

This is a good breakfast spot. I friend or and will go back as its conveniently located, has a good set of choices, and is reasonable. I did experience a problem with one of the dishes on my last visit that was quickly and correctly fixed grin the customers point of view. I was a little surprised the owner started that she had yelled at one of the kitchen staff that had made the mistake. Good employees are hard to grow and worth keeping.

Great breakfast spot! The Eggs Benedict was delicious as well as the potato cakes. The cafe latte was so good too! The main thing I would come back for is the service though. Logan was super friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. He also told us about what to do in Denver because we arent from here. Next time Im in Denver, Ill stop here again to try the burger!

Stopped here for a quick breakfast during our stay in Denver; amazing breakfast sandwich and above average eggs. Bloody Mary was amazing, as was the mimosa, and the service was top notch. Only ding I could give them is the menu is limited, more options would be nice, but what they’ve got they do very well! Would repeat.

Fine meal with friendly service.Their gimmick is serving tater tots not French fries or home fries. I got a burger for some reason. It was meh. The omelette at the table was fine. Nothing special.

This brunch was the best collection of flavors! I had the 1/2 order of the tot skillet and the portion was generous. Bloody Marys were perfect, and the patio is very cute. Service was attentive and friendly. Would go back again on our next trip to town!

The eggs were very good. The Swedish pancakes were definitely not (very hard), I don’t recommend these ones

One of the best breakfasts I had.. very good food and very good service..

Great place to start the day on downtown Denver!

Great dishes, excellent service!

Delicious and varied options, let you choose between a small serving and a larger serving.

Get the shooting star skillet! Tater tots with cream cheese and mushrooms taste awesome!

Incredible breakfast!!! The breakfast burrito was my favorite, very tasty.

The pancakes of from the egg shell were very good, however not extraordinary. They were above average for buttermilk, but what was truly delicious and worth going back for are the Swedish pancakes with Lingonberry Sauce. The pancakes were perfect, and the sauce was one of the best Lingonberry sauces I have had. Also, the coffee is worth pointing out. It was very good coffee from Boulder, Colorado, was no additional cost, and they will give you a coffee in a to-go cup for free as well as you leave.

Tried the banana bread french toast. I do not recommend it. It was quite dry, and though syrup and butter made it edible it was still way too dry. So the food was two stars but I added an extra because the service was great. Quick, attentive and friendly. Ill give this place another chance sometime and try something else.

Off 16th ave, great for breakfast. Service was nice and food was great (or maybe we were too hungry) 😃

Great breakfast spot, excellent food and service! Veggie green chili was fab and Belgium waffles were delish!

Great ambience and yummy food. We were debating between syrup and eggshell. The food was light but delightful. We ordered the Swedish crepes, banana nut bread, egg Benedict, and granola French toast. All of the options were really good. The staff was awesome and it didn’t take too long to make. I highly recommend this place plus the wait was not too long. Not a fan of the hollandaise sauce with the egg Benedict but my friends enjoyed it. The tater tots weren’t too bad but you can’t expect much in that area I guess. Overall, it was a pleasure.

Excellent place for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Great way to start your day! Service was fantastic, but make sure to check or call ahead as there might be a wait because of COVID. Nader was our waiter and extremely attentive and helpful. Will certainly come back

Great breakfast spot in the heart of Downtown Denver.

Great food, great service. The tatet tots are amazing. Top notch breakfast place.

Service was a little slow with the Covid procedures but the food and drink was good

The WORST eggs Benedict I’ve ever had in my entire life. Omg!Update to respond to business:Hi Peggy, I was a visitor and I am now out of Denver. This was take out. I paid $13 for something I could not even consume. I could only eat the tater tots. Please consider this moving forward--double check the orders WITH the clients before leaving to make sure theyre satisfied. That way any issues get addressed and no one can complain afterwards. I should have untied the bag myself and checked before leaving as well.The thing was a mess. My server was amazing though! Thanks.

Food was great. Considering its covid and a little cool in the mornings it would be nice for heat lamps and a few more tables. But the food was great and service was great

I really enjoy this place, great coffee, nice staff and a perfect breakfast that really was quite to surprise! I had the Shooting Star Skillet and with poached eggs....that were just perfect! Thanks Egg Shell!

Great eggs Benny, looks as good as it tastes, they also bake their bacon, yum! Not a fan of tots, would prefer hash browns but it was already too filling with a full order, couldnt even eat the tots if I tried

My husband and I stopped in on a Saturday morning and were seated without a wait. The atmosphere was nice and our waiter, Mario, was awesome. We both ordered the Denver omelet and he accommodated a couple of changes to our omelets with no problem. Our almond milk lattes were great. The food was well prepared and Mario came over several times to check on us. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was fantastic. A bit pricey but what isnt in this neighborhood. The food was worth sitting outside in 30 degree weather to eat. (COVID)

This place was fantastic! My wife and I shared the smothered breakfast burrito and French toast... So good! And they serve local organic coffee, which was all also good.

I like this place. Professionally friendly staff. Good quality food. Competitive portions. Cozy setting in spite of lots of big glass windows. Good natural light, comfortably filtered by surrounding structures.

Stopped in for breakfast and was very pleased. Service was good, food was top notch. Recommended.

Best breakfast burrito Ive ever had. Loved the Russian Chai as well.

AMAZING FOOD! 💯% RECOMMEND.

Very nice, clean restaurant. Awesome breakfast items and super boxed lunches. The server was really polite, but he could have been more attentive. Food was delicious. I recommend the potato pancakes. Delish!

If you want a nice, decent breakfast spot to fill the void then this place will do the trick. Food was good. Place was clean and staff were nice. Overall there was nothing that wowed me about this location so I give it 4/5. Otherwise its a good spot and I would return again sometime in the future but would not purposely seek this location out.

Had a great breakfast, got to sit outdoors and enjoy the city. Food was yummy and you can tell the staff works very hard. Awesome place 👍

We stayed in downtown Denver for the night and just happened to stumble on this place the morning we left. We do not regret it one bit! It was the best breakfast weve ever had and will definitely visit again next time we are in the area.

Weve eaten here two days in a row. The potato cakes are well seasoned and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. And their eggs are perfectly cooked.

The strawberry granola croissant French toast was amazinggg! Never had anything like it in CA and deviled eggs are good too! Definitely coming back next time I’m in CO.

Smells coming out of this place were amazing. Found the portions to be a bit lacking, however, and we left wanting more.

Good breakfast and people seem to really love this place. I think I just made two fatal errors in my ordering: no tater tots and I did order the chilaquiles, which were not that good. They smothered them in the same bland, green salsa that most places use. Next time, tots and something that seems more like the house special

Absolutely hit the spot! Eggs, Pancakes, Bacon, American Fries... all the good. Love this place!

Went in to eat and was told it was a 15 min wait, waited outside for a little over 30 min while they had many open tables but kept being told they were under staffed. Hostess was nice and offered a coffe on her but that just didn’t cut it, we left instead.

The bacon and creme Brulee oatmeal.

This place is easy to over look especially with a much more popular breakfast spot a block down. Dont pass this place up! The food and menu are amazing, holy cow. I was not disappointed with anything myself or the rest of our party received!Its clean and again, food is AMAZING. It didnt get all 5 stars because our server was not that great and it was slow enough that it could have been excellent instead of just okay. Ill still come back though !

Great little spot downtown for a brunch. Very fair prices. Loved the outdoor area though we didn’t eat outside. It seemed like a very nice and quiet little spot to have a bite outdoors. The jam is really good. Best friend loved the banana French toast. I had the build your own omelette, it was also great!

Fantastic breakfast, great service.

Breakfast, yeah, very tasty. Ill return with my coworkers. Prices were fair.

Neat place. It took way too long to be seated in a half empty place mid morning, but the food came quick and the staff was nice. The food was real good as well, def go back.

Quaint breakfast eatery in the heart of downtown Denver. Anyone looking for a quick, but tasty, coffee and croissant should definitely stop here on their way to work especially if they want to mix it up and not go to Starbucks. The servers are the perfect amount of friendly and humorous for an early morning meal and the prices are quite reasonable.

This place is amazing! The breakfast is great and nicely priced! The owner/manager is nice and down to earth. The customer service is exceptional! A must visit if staying downtown Denver!

Nice experience! The food and service were good and they following Covid19 protocols. We felt comfortable and safe.

I loved the atmosphere and the food caprese sandwich and kale and apple salad delicious combination! Oh and I have to say the coffee was amazing! Definitely will go back especially since the table for one and I could actually hear my own thoughts and enjoy my meal.

Best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had! Also great breakfast food, highly recommend!

Pretty traditional, I was looking for more spins based on reviews here but the food is good, the place is cozy and clean with large windows and the service was great. Also, prices are reasonable. Recommended!

For me, this place does not feel like a breakfast place, it’s a sandwich shop. The bacon tasted like it was reheated vs fresh. The hash browns are tater tots, which were good, but I would have preferred a good serving of Hash Browns. The sausage patties tasted store bought. The menu is confusing, like do I get pancakes or toast with my breakfast. I would suggest they do a little more to make it less confusing if this were my first time going.

Lovely. A light-hearted, happy place with amazingly simple food choices. Best for breakfast. I would come every morning for the open-faces avocado and hot chocolate.

Not sure why the reviews are so high here. It took over 15 min to be waited on (server walked by twice). The food was luke warm, and average for Denver standards. It was busy only because everywhere else was a wait. The bathroom was locked and even though the staff knew we needed to use it, they didnt bother providing the code. All the servers moved at a glacial pace. The only one that cared they were employed was the bus boy/host. If I were the manager I would get rid of the dead weight and promote the host. I probably wouldnt return unless it was the last option.

I waited for about 20 minutes before being seated. The host was also the busser and was busy cleaning tables so that the next patron could be seated. There was a lady that may have been the manager or the owner, I have no clue what she was doing but she was definitely not working. She could have easily helped out with cleaning tables and helping the busser or even greeting the customers that were waiting. After I was seated finally I still had to wait for a menu then subsequently got my order taken. My only problem is that if you have a manager working the floor, he or she should be helping if there is any sort of waiting going on. Introduce yourself and apologize for the wait or even just help the servers. If you are being a social butterfly going from one table to the next to small talk while Im standing there waiting for 20 minutes without even eye contact or a word then maybe you might be in the wrong field of work. If you dont make me feel welcome then I will not come back. I was patient enough for the people sitting next to me to observe and say something to me. It was definitely an experience. I did tip well only because it was not the servers fault or the busser/host.

I liked it, but its too expensive

My mama once told me if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all. That doesnt apply today, good food, good service, only complaint was the guy talking loudly on his phone. But that nothing on the restuarant itself. 10/10

Great value, good service, and great espresso. I had half caprese sandwich, tomato soup with grilled cheese dunkers, and an almond milk cappuccino, it was around $20. Good value for the portions, satisfued appetite, and taste.You may dine inside or outside, or order to-go. The young lady, the day before, made an iced almond milk cappuccino, it was perfect for the 100° day.

Nice place and very good food. The only issue is with a long line. You may need to wait for long time. Also it’s kind of tiny, no many tables there

Ok breakfast joint. Food was ok once we got ...clean...silverware. Was not worth the wait to get in. Pricey food that didnt live up to the cost.

Popular breakfast or lunch stop. We popped in for breakfast and found the place fairly busy on a Monday morning. The service was pretty good although I found the food to be average. The tater tots had an unusual flavor which made me wonder what type of oil they have in the fryer.

I have breakfast here regularly, about once every other week. The food is delicious and the staff is courteous, and service is prompt. The location is also pretty convenient, with easy access to 16th Street Mall. I enjoy dining here.

45 minute wait and an overall 2 hour meal for very lethargic service and a hard boiled poached egg. Food otherwise was tasty. Better off elsewhere for my money.

Pretty good place but order completion took some significant amount of time

Manhattan style modern breakfast in downtown Denver. Great tasting food

So good! Everything was delicious. You can get half servings so you can easily try a bunch of things without overeating. Also, they are amazing for having swedish pancakes!! 😍

Food was not good, especially for the price. Was not worth my money, do not recommend.

The food was amazing. Best French toast and really good breakfast quesadillas. Its a small cozy breakfast place nestled into downtown Denver. Relaxing atmosphere. The bloody Mary was one of the best tasting drinks ever.

I loved this place. The food was amazing, drinks delicious, service prompt, and everyone was friendly even though the restaurant was busy. Great atmosphere!

Great place for breakfast! Staff does a great job of getting everyone seated even though it can be quite busy. Servers could be a little more polite.

Visiting from Atlanta for a conference. Perfect breakfast spot before first session. Reasonable prices, excellent service. Food was tasty and coffee was good. Highly recommend!

4 stars for the food and free coffee while we waited ( for 45 minutes ). The hostess,, extremely rude. She seemed new. Hopefully that what it was. She is the reason I will not return. Everyone else seemed nice and the food was tasty.

Vary good coffee and everything we ate was delicious!

Very attentive staff. Friendly interactions. Quiet location with moderate foot traffic. The food hit my taste buds out of the park. 5 stars no doubt, perfect place for brunch. Try the mimosas.

Small breakfast place just off 16th Street. Caters mostly to business people during the work week. Decent menu, decent service, decent cleanliness

My dad and I ate here for breakfast and it was amazing. Everyone working here was incredibly kind, the coffee was great, and the breakfast sandwiches are AMAZING! The outdoor seating is very comfortable and cute. Would definitely come back for another feast.

I thought that Wesley fellow was extraordinary. I would hire him in an instant. He took care of us and was really chill.

A great cozy breakfast spot. Will definitely stop back next time Im in town.

Amazing food! Fresh, local, and no wait. I had a Shooting Star skillet with tater tots that was incredibly tasty. Im still thinking about that meal and its been days. Would highly recommend (skip Sam #3 and walk a block to this place).

Great food with nice choices for sides like coffee and sauces (not the same old stuff). Friendly people, good prices, just off 16th Street Mall.

Charming little place with an unassuming look, but wow, was the food good!! Im not typically a breakfast person, but if I lived near The Egg Shell Id probably become one. Hubby also loved that when we left, they sent him with his coffee refill in a to-go cup. Two big thumbs up! 👍👍

Our server was sweet and the food was great. The host was rude though.

Light and airy space to enjoy breakfast. The granola crusted croissant French toast was really good as was the banana bread French toast. Appropriate sized servings, not some monster meal. Coffee was good and staff was friendly. It wasnt very busy, even at 9:30 on a Saturday morning which was nice too.

Friend and I stopped in on our way out of town, and super glad we did. The food was amazing, and even though the staff were clearly overwhelmed by the rush (along with a few rude customers), they were still managing to get everything done with a smile on their face. If your in a rush, this might not be the place for you, but if youre not. Make time for it.

Pleasant little place downtown with good breakfast choices.

Very understaffed. Waited patiently for 20 minutes for a table of two. They completely passed us and seated four other couples. Went to go up and say something but there was no host and the waiters clearly didn’t care. Definitely a waste of time.

Great filling breakfasts for a reasonable price. Many vegetarian options as well.

Cool breakfast spot. Super fast. Egg sandwich was excellent. Very pleasant staff. Light and airy decore.

Extremely kind staff, amazing waffles, and bearable wait times. One of the most underrated breakfast spots in town. Head on over, you wont regret it.

Pretty good breakfast spot! Recommend if youre downtown for convention center or business, or if you live downtown.

The food was delicious and service great. The portions were actually too big. I only asked for a half order and took most of it home.

Best pancakes anywhere. I dont know why but the batter combined with real maple syrup is the best. They serve tater tots instead of hash browns so a little different. Coffee is strong but not bitter like the popular brands today. As good as the food is, Im always amazed its never busy for being in the heart of LODO.

Great service, just you cant chill and take your time. ...

This is the best place to come for a quiet business meeting or intimate conversation. The staff is great and very professional. My favorite local breakfast spot!
