"A Brooklyn restaurant sourcing eggs from small, local farms, which has helped stabilize prices amidst the broader market volatility." - Bettina Makalintal
"The sequel to a now-closed Williamsburg staple, Little Egg is a daytime specialist where you can sit in a bright white space and get a great brunch on a Friday afternoon. Their eggs rothko—a fancy take on toad in the hole—is a classic, but you should also try the sandwich with a deep-fried, panko-crusted block of fluffy eggs. They also have frequent pastry specials and pop-ups, so keep an eye on their Instagram." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, nikko duren, willa moore
"Little Egg, a small diner in Prospect Heights, opened last year with gratuity-included pricing: Its $19 pancakes already included tip. The restaurant walked back that decision this week to give 'our servers a chance to make a bit more and customers a way to share their love for our team,' it said on Instagram. Prices on the menu have been adjusted." - Luke Fortney
"Little Egg is the neighborhood’s best option for breakfast. The restaurant is open starting at 8 a.m. on weekdays, and half an hour earlier on weekends, with a menu that has breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, grits, and excellent pastries. The dining room is fairly small, so put your name down early or plan for a wait, especially when dining with a larger group." - Eater Staff
"Egg Katsu Sando As you might guess, Prospect Heights brunch spot Little Egg has a lot of egg dishes. It even has multiple breakfast sandwiches. But the superstar sando here involves a fluffy steamed egg patty, panko-fried with a paper-thin crust, and topped with arugula and a fresh yuzu kosho mayo. It’s both novel enough to warrant a trek to the neighborhood, and simple enough to join your regular brunch rotation if you live nearby. Little Egg is the sequel to Egg, a beloved Williamsburg brunch spot that closed in 2020. Their loyal fan base is always present, so you might have a bit of a wait, but it’s worth it." - Willa Moore, Neha Talreja, Carlo Mantuano, Carina Finn Koeppicus
