Urban Egg
9420 Briar Village Point

Urban Egg is mostly about breakfast. Eggs are the main attraction, with pancakes sharing some of the spotlight. From Benedicts to omelets, from pancake flights to breakfast burritos and more, there’s a lot from which to choose.

The large, laminated menu highlighted breakfast and alcoholic beverages on one side, with salads, sandwiches and non-alcoholic drinks on the other. An impressive number of healthy options were available.

Four types of pancakes, which are identified as “Fancy Pancakes,” are offered. The varieties include cinnamon swirl, blueberry streusel, lemon ricotta and strawberry cheesecake. The traditional flight includes three of the same kind, while the gourmet flight extends to a choice of three.

We chose the blueberry streusel flight ($15). The good news was that the cakes were fluffy and not just topped with blueberry syrup, but were filled with a substantial amount of berries.

Biscuits and gravy ($15) also were a treat. The former were house-made, flakey and didn’t get soggy under the weight of the sage-infused gravy with plenty of (expertly prepared) bits of sausage.
