Tried out a cool new little breakfast/brunch place last Sunday, which we haven’t done in a while. For a change I was not feeling like death, thanks to an early Saturday night after a (fairly) civilised picnic on Hampstead Heath 🙂 So, feeling good and fresh, we headed to Embassy East to fuel up before an afternoon’s shopping.
What a cool little place! It’s very small, with most of the simple wooden tables being in the front (all full at around 11:30am) and another couple around the back, where we sat. Light bulbs inside large jars made for cool lighting. The staff were uber laid back, one of the young gents even telling us upon our arrival that everyone was suffering major hangovers that day! Which was kind of obvious to be honest, they all seemed a bit out of it, but nonetheless very friendly.
I ordered ‘eggs and meat’ (ÂŁ10), which was a large portion of haggis, sausages, thick cut streaky bacon, poached eggs (you could have scrambled too), grilled tomato and a large slab of thick crusty toasted bread. All of this was lovely and kept me full until dinner time. I did try a bit of my boyfriend’s scrambled eggs and salmon and realised the eggs to be ordered at that place were  ten times out of ten the scrambled variety. I would go as far as to say they were the best scrambled eggs I’ve ever had; really wet and saucy, but not so much that they seemed raw, with a creamy buttery flavour. Anyway, that’s what I’ll have next time we go!
So definitely recommended, 8/10 (two points off for hungover staff and the bacon could have been crispier). Oh and the coffee (my favourite: black, no sugar) was awesome too. Look at this:
