Egghead Sando Cafe, an egg sandwich spot that serves breakfast for lunch and lunch for breakfast, has doubled its South Bay presence to four locations.
After launching in Cupertino and drawing lines of customers there, South Bay entrepreneurs Vinh Ha and Yi Ru Chen and general manager John Tang moved that operation in 2022 to new, larger digs on San Jose’s Capitol Expressway. Later in the year they opened in downtown San Jose on South First Street.
The new restaurants are in Santa Clara and South San Jose. The former is located at 3957 Rivermark Plaza. The latter, 6201 Santa Teresa Blvd., takes over the space formerly occupied by a small McDonald’s franchise.
Cage-free eggs are the stars of the menu. Fluffy ones in the Scramble, poached ones in the Eggy, over-medium ones in the Hawaiian Morning, the Chic and the Breakfast Burger. Playing a valuable supporting role is the warm brioche bun, a recipe developed by Chen and baked fresh in-house every morning.
Ha, Chen and Tang have taken inspiration from other restaurants and then drawn on their roots — Vietnamese, Taiwanese, Chinese — to put their own spin on dishes. Ha got his start years ago when his family operated a Vietnamese restaurant in Newark called My Tho.
The bestseller is the Chic, with Taiwanese-style fried chicken served on brioche with egg, arugula and house sauce. There’s a grilled chicken version called the Side Chic, with egg, bacon, tomato, arugula and chimichurri sauce. Customers can add sides of tater tots or waffle fries.
Details: Open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays, Saturdays until 4 p.m. and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; www.eggheadcafe.net
