The Over Easy Café is one of the most
popular breakfast/brunch/lunch spots in downtown Asheville and almost as famous
for its lines as for its food. It’s only open between 8 and 2 (Sunday 9-2) and
has relatively limited space. This, in combination with its reputation, means
that you will almost certainly have a wait for 15 minutes or (much) more. We
have to wait for about 25 minutes as we arrive just before noon on a summer
Monday. The food is, of course, all local and organic.
Fighting the urge to go for the Traditional Breakfast, i.e. fried
eggs, toast, etc., I decide to be adventurous and order the famous Breakfast
Tacos with chorizo ($10.50): scrambled eggs, onion, salsa, fresh cilantro, on
two corn tortillas. Quite tasty. M. has a Hash Bowl with poached eggs and all
kind of fresh and tasty stuff. We also get one of the fresh juices ($6.50), the
Detox, which combines citrus fruits with beets and ginger. It tastes very fresh
and very gingery.
VERDICT: 87/100
All in all Over Easy Café is a great place for breakfast for foodies
rather than for pig out enthusiasts. Although I might come back for the French
Toast, which looked delicious.
