The Star of the Menu

First things first. To be the star of the California-style omelet requires a certain amount of creative license. And in crafting their Crab Avocado Omelet, the Eagle Cafe chefs have transformed the standard meat-and-cheese (and sometimes veg) omelet combination into a deeply satisfying breakfast dish.

It starts with three eggs, but then quickly pivots into fresh waters. That’s when the culinary pros at Eagle Cafe pile on the crab meat to give the dish its coastal appeal. The addition of avocado rounds out the California omelet vibe.

Before it hits your table, this omelet gets topped off with melty jack and cheddar cheeses and ripe tomatoes. This is not only a signature dish for Eagle Cafe, but a creation that might just qualify as the best omelet in San Francisco.

Classic Omelets With California Flair

While the Crab Avocado omelet might steal the spotlight, Eagle Cafe’s full lineup is loaded with heavy-hitters.

Every Eagle Cafe omelet is made with three eggs and served with home fries—you can even layer in more flavor to your fries by adding sour cream, green onions, and bacon. Alternatively, for a lighter option, substitute your fries for fresh fruit. Cap it all off with your choice of toast or English muffin, and you’ve got the perfect breakfast!

Decisions, Decisions

With so many tasty-sounding omelet options, how will you choose which one to order?

  • Ham & Cheese Omelet: A timeless omelet that’s perfect for those who are searching for a classic taste.
  • Meat Lovers Omelet: This one doesn’t stop at classic ham. In this dish, you’ll also find bacon and sausage for the ultimate hearty fuel-up.
  • Crab Avocado Omelet: Crab, avocado, tomatoes, and jack and cheddar cheeses come together in the perfect omelet!
  • Veggie Omelet: The ideal meat-free option, this omelet piles on bell peppers, onions, avocado spread, spinach, tomatoes, and cheeses for a delicious meat-free meal.

You’d be right in thinking that every one of these omelets sounds like it could be the best omelet in San Francisco. You’ll have to stop by Eagle Cafe a few times to sample them all to decide on your favorite omelet in California!
