Are you looking for a fresh new breakfast spot to try? Look no further than Eggsperts Breakfast & Lunch Cafe, located at 9218 W 159th St, Orland Park, IL 60462. They’re new to the town, and they’re “egg-sperts at what they do,” according to Kevin, also known as, “The Hungry Plumber”, our main host of the show.

This episode we brought along a good friend, Gerald, to be our co-host and try out all of the delicious meals to get an extra voice on the quality of the food.

We started off with a fresh, hot, handcrafted cappuccino and it did not disappoint. “That’s a good cappuccino right there,” says Kevin. He loves cappuccinos, so anywhere he has the opportunity to get one, he’s on it. Just like the picture above, they love incorporating little designs in the cappuccinos to make it even more enjoyable. They offer handcrafted lattes and cappuccinos with only the “freshest roasted coffee beans available.” The barista’s can get pretty creative with their designs, and there’s so many different drinks to choose from.

The first thing Gerald dug into was the “Ham N’ Cheddar” breakfast pan pizza, which includes Wisconsin Cheddar cheese, diced ham with baked eggs. This breakfast pizza takes 20 minutes to prepare, so prepare to wait, but the wait is definitely worth it. “This is so Chicago,” says Gerald, “It’s like the deep dish we’re known for, but a breakfast one.” This breakfast pizza is loaded with flavor, you can taste every ingredient, and it always comes out steaming hot since it’s prepared by request.

Up next, Kevin tried the “Steak N’ Egg Rolls” which consists of egg roll stuffed with scrambled eggs, beef tenderloin steak, grilled onions, green peppers, White American cheese, and served with a side of homemade garlic cilantro aioli sauce. “You don’t think of steak and an egg roll for breakfast, but it works!” Gerald says. He’s right, after just one bite of the Steak N Egg Roll, Kevin’s response was “delicioso” and a thumbs up!

The smoothies were another part of the meal that blew both Kevin and Gerald away. “Wow!” They both agreed that Eggsperts would be their new go-to place for smoothies. Gerald went on to add how he added boosters into his smoothie, Chia seeds being one of them.

The pancakes were out of this world! “What’s perfect about these (pancakes) you don’t need to add syrup,” says Gerald. He said he would usually cake his pancakes in syrup, but these pancakes are light, fluffy, and the added toppings are just enough to not need syrup, but not overpowering. They ordered the “Pancake Flight Platter,” which consists of Cinnamon Roll, which consists of buttermilk batter topped with homemade icing and cinnamon sugar glaze, the Oreo Red Velvet Cakes, which is red velvet batter topped with crumbled Oreos and drizzled with homemade cream cheese icing, and lastly but certainly not least, the Taffy Apple, buttermilk pancakes topped with freshly sautéed Granny Smith Apples, caramel sauce, pecans, and a chocolate drizzle. All of the pancakes come with 4 stacks, which is plenty enough to satisfy anyone’s hunger.

Also mentioned is the “Chicken N’ Waffle Slices”, which is buttermilk fried chicken breast, served over a Belgian waffle slice, topped with home-made honey Dijon aioli, and served with a side of maple syrup. Gerald mentions how this too, is another Chicago thing, because most people didn’t know that chicken and waffles do indeed make a great dish together.

Breakfast taco’s also make a great meal, it’s under the “Chef’s Favorites,” and it consists of 4 tacos on a soft flour tortilla with scrambled eggs, sausage, pico de Gallo, Mozzarella cheese, and queso fresco, topped with chipotle crema. They almost look too good to eat!

Lastly, for dessert, they ordered the “Baked Apple Pancake,” which is oven baked, fresh Granny Smith apples, topped with a cinnamon sugar glaze. This also takes 20-25 minutes to cook, but your mouth will be watering when you see it coming towards your table. When you cut into it, it is so soft, gooey, and the smell of the baked Granny Smith fills your nose. This will leave you speechless!

Overall, Kevin and Gerald definitely recommend this place. “You get a taste of the downtown culinary arts brought to the south side,” Kevin says. “I will be coming back, no doubt!”
