Beloved Breakfast Restaurant Returns To Brooklyn After COVID Closure

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — It's a sweet Brooklyn return for a beloved breakfast spot.

Egg moved over to the border of Prospect and Crown Heights as a still egg-focused eatery called Little Egg from its now-shuttered Williamsburg location, according to the restaurant's website.

The new, smaller location — announced in November 2022 — opened Friday at 657 Washington Ave.

"Little Egg will be a new way to share our love of good food in the morning in a little bit smaller space…a poetic full-circle back to Egg’s early days," the eatery's website states.

Little Egg is a "community restaurant," as much a meeting space as it is a spot for eggs, French toast and coffee.

"We love early mornings, soft scrambles, local grains, good coffee, and bringing people together to share transformative meals that seed a more sustainable food system," Little Egg's website reads.

Egg shut its Williamsburg doors in September 2020, after 15 years in business on North Third Street near Bedford Avenue, Eater reported.

"In the 15 years we’ve been open so far, we’ve gone through a lot of transformations," the restaurant wrote on Instagram at the time.

"Thank you to everyone who over the past decade and a half has worked with us, eaten with us, supplied us with ingredients. We’ll miss seeing your faces in the restaurant this winter—but we’ll look forward to meeting again on the other side of this, changed into whatever it is the world needs most from us then."
