Eggster Café, tucked away inside Cottage Flowers at 236 E Wayne St Fort Wayne, IN 46802, celebrated its grand opening today, and we were thrilled to partner with The Fort Wayne Mom, Caroline Britt, for an exclusive insider’s look! Caroline and her family enjoyed a delightful morning filled with delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a warm welcome that made their visit all the more enjoyable.
Understanding the joys and challenges of outings with young kids, The Fort Wayne Mom understands the importance of accessibility. She noted how easy it was to enter the café during her visit. She shared,
“Eggster was easy to find using GPS and has a free parking lot with the flower shop! It was great to be able to park in this free lot and not have to find or pay for street parking. We parked close to the door and then easily walked through the flower shop with our single stroller. It might be a little tighter for a double stroller to get through, but it is definitely doable!”
On top of that, her little ones loved stopping to check out all the flowers, stuffed animals, and fish on display. A kind Cottage Flowers staff member even let the kids feed the fish before they headed over to Eggster for breakfast!
As soon as they stepped into Eggster, Caroline’s family was welcomed by the café’s bright and cheerful vibe. With sunny yellow walls and an inviting atmosphere, it truly embodies warmth and hospitality. She said
“Eggster had a bright, colorful, fun, and welcoming atmosphere. The owner David and his wife were so kind as well as all of the employees!”
The spacious layout at the back of Cottage Flowers is ideal for casual family dining, ensuring plenty of room for everyone to relax.
After placing their orders at the counter, the family enjoyed the thrill of watching their food being prepared. For the kids, the real star of the show was the mini pancakes sizzling on the skillet behind the glass. Caroline said,
“The mini pancakes are so unique, fun, tasty, and easy to eat for little ones! They watched the whole process and then picked out their toppings. They could choose from maple syrup, butter, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, and whipped cream. We had a great breakfast sitting at the table together and enjoying our pancakes, breakfast burritos/bowls, and drinks. Mom and Dad tried the French Vanilla and Pumpkin Spice Lattes and a Caramel Cappuccino and were very impressed!”
To top it off, the owner David suggested they try one of Eggster’s new Creamster drinks, a delightful blend of smoothie and milkshake, available in a variety of flavors like cookies and crème, orange crème, strawberry banana, and chocolate. They decided on the Orange Crème Creamster, and Caroline declared,
“David’s recommendation did not disappoint, we absolutely loved it!”
After hearing David’s suggestions, we asked Caroline for her family’s recommendations for first-time visitors. She had a hard time narrowing it down, exclaiming, “Everything was delicious!” Nevertheless, she did highlight three standout dishes:
1. #21 Whip & Drizzle: Mini pancakes drizzled with chocolate sauce and topped with whipped cream.
2. #3 Burrito Sausage: A breakfast burrito packed with sausage, eggs, potatoes, cheese, and wrapped in a soft tortilla.
3. Orange Crème Creamster: A delightful sweet treat loved by both kids and adults!
She’s already looking forward to returning to try the Meat & Maple mini pancakes, the Max Bowl (a burrito without the tortilla), and the strawberry banana Creamster on her next visit.
