Oddfellows Café + Bar

"Oddfellows is part French Bistro, part espresso bar, and part old-school grocery store, and they’re not shy with the exposed brick and overall hip vibes. Oddfellows is all about versatility: you can stop in for a latte and some of the best scrambled eggs (soft with cheese and herbs) in the city, or pop in for a happy hour on the patio with cocktails and snacks, or go for a casual but cool dinner with a date. Oddfellow’s doesn’t take reservations, so it’s generally wise to have a backup plan when you get there - but it tends to be more crowded for weekend brunch than for dinner." - Aimee Rizzo

"Enduing the waitlist at Oddfellows can test one's stamina, but you’ll be rewarded with charming bistro surroundings and ridiculously good soft-scrambled eggs swirled with cheese and herbs. Those eggs are served with a big biscuit and tart homemade jam that we’d like to petition to have bottled. And if you’re still sad about Tallulah’s 2019 closure, you can get the same plate-sized pancake topped with honey-whipped ricotta and sour lemon curd." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"An airy restaurant with the highest ceilings you can possibly imagine that serves up comforting, fresh food all the way from breakfast to dinner. Try a Bullseye Biscuit - a buttery biscuit baked with cheese, chives, and bacon in the dough, and a whole egg right in the middle of it." - Hum Creative

"When we sit at a bistro table sandwiched between two brick walls at Oddfellows Cafe’s hidden garden patio, we feel like a protagonist in a French New Wave film - only Jean-Luc Godard doesn’t have a camera pointed directly at us, and we’re not covered in cigarette smoke. We like Oddfellows best for brunch, when you can grab some soft scrambled eggs with a biscuit and jam before meeting friends to practice some morning acro yoga at Cal Anderson." - aimee rizzo

"The secret back patio garden at Oddfellows is a narrow space filled with bistro tables, a ton of exposed brick, and string lights aplenty. Sit there on a brunch date, eat some of the best scrambled eggs in the city, alongside some homemade biscuits with raspberry jam, and feel like you’re in some kind of French indie movie with a name like Je Suis." - aimee rizzo
