Dining: Since 1987, when The Egg & I first “hatched” on South College Avenue in Ft. Collins, these popular breakfast-lunch restaurants continually win “The Best Breakfast in Town” awards in locations across northern Colorado and Wyoming. Offering “eggceptional” meals in a bright, light, upbeat décor, The Egg & I promises great breakfast and lunches served from 6 AM until 2 PM daily (7 AM Sunday).

Gourmet coffee, fresh-squeezed juice, generous servings, and creative menu items all combine to make a meal at The Egg & I delicious and memorable. Frittatas, omelettes, whole wheat pancakes, waffles, and many delicious “non-egg” items fill the breakfast menu. Lunch choices include creative sandwiches, generous salads, and fresh, homemade soups. The same upscale menu is served all day, so if you want an omelette or a specialty frittata for lunch, no problem! The Egg & I takes great pride in offering tasteful, quality food provided by “eggceptional” servers. Meeting rooms for 20-40 people are available for private gatherings, space available varies in each location.

Each of The Egg & I restaurants takes pride in being a part of their local community by participating in events that enrich both the community and The Egg & I staff. Parades, pancake breakfasts, philanthropic participation, 5K & 10K runs, membership in local clubs, and service on community boards are just a few of the venues that profit from participation by The Egg & I.

The moniker “The Egg & I” was borrowed from the 1945 novel by Betty MacDonald. This popular tale relocates two citified newlyweds to Washington state where they purchase a chicken farm and got much more than they bargained for, including Indians, bears, moonshiners, and unusual neighbors (including Ma and Pa Kettle who were introduced in this saga and later became cultural icons of their own). It’s a fun book lending a lighthearted restaurant its name.

When growing up you always heard that “Mother Always Told You to Eat a Good Breakfast” (and lunch!). It happens daily at this award winning restaurant.....with 17 locations to serve you.
