About
Nestled in the heart of Minneapolis at 201 N 5th Ave, Egg on a Roll is quickly becoming a local favorite for those in search of a stellar breakfast experience. This unique eatery, located within a convenience store, might catch you off-guard, yet its signature sandwiches prove that great flavor can come from the most unexpected places. Whether you're a long-time Minneapolis resident or just passing through, the inviting energy of this spot makes it deserving of your attention.
The concept is simple and refreshing: a menu dedicated entirely to egg sandwiches. Among their standout offerings, the Classic Egg, featuring a fluffy egg with a choice of meat and cheddar, embodies comfort food at its finest. But for those seeking an adventurous spin, the Breakfast in Bombay is a must-try, blending chorizo with a spicy chili crunch and refreshing alfalfa sprouts, promising a burst of flavor with every bite. Even without the meat, as one customer noted, the blend of garam masala and fresh ingredients creates an experience you won't forget.
Customization is key here; with options to build your own sandwiches, you can tailor your meal exactly to your liking—from the meats (think bacon, chorizo, or even turkey sausage) to the sauce, like the zesty garlic aioli and the signature sauce, which add a delightful kick. The combination of toppings and spices allows for endless possibilities, making each visit feel new and exciting.
Customer reviews consistently praise the fluffiness of the eggs and the overall thoughtfulness of the dishes. Rachel's experience with the Chippy Denver and Breakfast in Bombay highlights the proper seasoning and freshness, while Shannon notes the buttery bun and enjoyable messiness of her sandwich, adding a light-hearted touch to the dining experience. It's this blend of simplicity in execution and a splash of creativity that has captured the hearts of many. Erin emphasized the hot and fresh nature of her Tuscany sandwich, showcasing the care taken in preparation.
Despite the absence of seating, which some find inconvenient, the adventure of taking your meal to enjoy elsewhere adds to the charm of Egg on a Roll. Locals like Katie Gasperlin have shown that the quality of the food far outweighs any initial hesitations about the setting. With fantastic sandwiches at a reasonable price and a friendly atmosphere, it's easy to see why this spot is generating buzz.
