A cafe dedicated to the humble egg near busy South Melbourne market, Good Egg is a fun cafe with tasty, eggy dishes. They take a simple, everyday ingredient and transform it into excellent dishes (or maybe that should be eggsellent dishes). Lots of spins on classic egg dishes, there is something here for every egg fan.
Service is great, and the staff are lovely and friendly. The coffee here is also really good, but let's be honest, it's all about eggs here. We had two variations of scotch eggs... one with pork, and a vegetarian falafel version. Both were fantastic, flavoursome and moreish. Simple food, using fresh ingredients really works; and the Good Egg have stuck to a theme that works for them. It's only a small cafe, and often busy, proving that people really do love the simple things in life.
Good Egg is nothing short of great. The humble egg is the star here, and while it sounds simple on paper, quality produce and skillful execution ensure that it's much more impressive than it sound, or look.
The bacon and egg bun is exactly as the name suggest but don't let its simplicity fool you. Strips of glistening and juicy bacon, a pile of soft and creamy scrambled eggs, with gooey cheese oozing out, topped with a robust smoky sauce, and finally sandwiched between a sweet and fluffy challah bun.
The dippy eggs were of the same calibre. Simple but executed well. The toast soldiers were generously buttered and soaked up the yolk like a dream.
Our coffees were excellent too, as was the exceptionally friendly service. Nothing can beat the simple pleasures in life, and Good Egg is a prime example of this.
Love the cute name. The food was simple and tasty. We came a few times and tried everything we wanted to try on the menu. The dishes all have very interesting flavours and textures, the good egg was a great compliment to the dish.
Coffee was good.
