Today was finally the day to check out the EGGIE Cafe in Parksville.

EGGIE opened several months ago and now serves breakfast and lunch from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursday through Monday — featuring, not surprisingly, eggs 🥚

EGGIE is a small, cozy cafe with about eight tables and seating for six at the counter. Food is ordered at the cashier and then delivered to your table.

The menu ranges from breakfast sandwiches to Eggs Benny, along with wraps, paninis, Asian bowls, and of course, pastries. A variety of specialty coffees and teas is also available.

Today, we opted for EGGIE’S Benny — a full order for me and a lady-like half order for Sheila.

Instead of traditional ham, they use back bacon from the Country Butcher. The Benny is served with a delicious spinach salad containing shredded carrot, apple slices, pickled red onion, and crushed walnuts. The miso hollandaise sauce was excellent and plentiful, and the eggs were perfectly cooked. Their take on Eggs Benny is a little different — and simply delicious.

EGGIE is owned and operated by Chan and Rhianna, who met in culinary school. Here is their story:

We visited on a rainy Monday, and it was a full house. Apparently, this culinary couple is doing something right.

Service was pleasant and quick, the atmosphere warm and inviting, and the food absolutely packed with
flavour ❗️

EGGIE is located on Weld Street, just off Island Highway East. Here is their website eggiecafe.ca

You can also order takeout by calling 250-905-1132.

We really enjoyed this joint and are sure you will too. Give it a try.
