The Egg Lab
The Egg Lab
The Egg Lab is an egg-focused brunch spot on Carrer de Sepúlveda in Sant Antoni, on the Eixample side of the line. The kitchen builds its menu around eggs, from Classic Shakshuka to Eggs Benedict Royale and a Korean Chicken Benedict, and says everything's made in-house with real, unprocessed products. Coffee is specialty, roasted by Tornado in Granollers. It's walk-in only, daytime hours, and sits on the pricier end for brunch, with most savoury plates around 15.50€ to 16.90€.
Background
About The Egg Lab
The Story
The Egg Lab runs an egg-led brunch kitchen on Carrer de Sepúlveda in Sant Antoni, on the edge of the Eixample. The name says where the focus sits: eggs in most forms, from shakshuka to Benedicts. The kitchen states that 100% of its dishes are made in-house and that it works with real, unprocessed products without artificial preservatives, under a motto of "Feel Good. Be Good." There's a second location on Carrer de Bruc. Coffee comes from Tornado Coffee Roasters, a specialty microroaster in Granollers that rotates origins, so the bean changes through the year; ask the barista what's pouring that week.
