Speckled Egg To Celebrate Soft Opening In Lambertville

LAMBERTVILLE, N.J. — The Speckled Egg Cafe will celebrate its soft opening on Tuesday, June 3 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 19 North Union Street.

"We're ready to feed you," writes the owners on Facebook. "Come out and see us this Tuesday, June 3 for our soft opening! 9-2"

At The Speckled Egg, Chef Megan Loos and Tony Artur will be bringing a fresh, fun, and clever approach to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Its menu, curated with locally sourced seasonal produce, features house-ground sausage, seasonal soups, scratch-baked sandwich rolls, and sweet treats.

The cafe's mission is to craft fresh, clever, and seasonally inspired classics, featuring homemade baked goods, house-cured meats, and locally roasted FOLK CITY coffee.

Before moving to North Union Street, the Speckled Egg made a name for itself at Rice's Market in Bucks County where it garnered national attention from U.S.A. Today, which named it one of the best restaurants in the country..

Its journey has now brought the cafe to an iconic location in the heart of downtown Lambertville - the former home of the beloved Manon Restaurant.

"It's a cozy, charming space with lots of character and a rich history - and features a sunlit courtyard for outdoor dining. It’s the perfect place for us to expand our offerings, introduce dinners, and to create an unforgettable experience for our guests," said Chief Loos.

To achieve their dream of having its own brick and mortar restaurant, the two launched a hugely successful KickStarter campaign, which raised $41,568, outpacing its goal of $36,000. The funds have allowed the restaurant owners to outfit the kitchen with essential equipment, cover the first weeks of operation, and enhance the courtyard with additional seating and landscaping.

"This space will refine and embody our vibe; think warm, bright, cozy interiors filled with books and plants, and a sun-filled courtyard that will be perfect for dining al fresco," said the owners.
