The growing Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood in Jersey City recently welcomed a new breakfast and lunch spot as Eggs Up has launched in one of the area’s newest developments.
The early riser spot recently opened at 270 Johnston Avenue inside the Atlas complex. Sitting just outside Liberty State Park near the Hudson Bergen Light Rail Station, Eggs Up comes from the ownership group behind the old Liberty Park Diner and Buddy’s JC in Downtown.
The casual restaurant serves a variety of classic egg sandwiches offering a choice of bread and eggs done any style. Coffees and pastries are on the menu in addition to original breakfast sandwiches including the LSP, which heaps pastrami over a medium egg with arugula, pickled onion and chipotle aioli.
A Buddy’s burrito dish is a highlight with scrambled eggs, hash brown, pico di gallo, avocado, jalapenos and cheddar cheese. Eggs Up additionally serves some more brunch-style options including avocado toast, seasonally rotating pancakes, or biscuits and gravy.
The lunch service at Eggs Up perhaps sets them apart from the typical breakfast spot. The midday menu includes dishes like a bacon cheeseburger, chicken parm sandwich, or a hot pastrami on multi-grain bread with Swiss cheese and mustard plus some salad options.
Eggs Up is situated in a rapidly growing section of Bergen-Lafayette and is the second new restaurant to open along a two-block radius following The Roxy. They are currently open daily from 6 a.m. until 3 p.m. and can be followed on Instagram at the handle @eggsupjc.
