This egg deficit is hard for me as a person who puts a fried egg in every meal and cooked. A meal of eggs, rice, and soy sauce brings me to times I can't afford, but now I see the los angeles prices skyrocket for $ 14 for the food struggle.
Who makes me think: How's an Egg-Egg -Med Cafe in charge of all the chaos? The Gudetama Cafe, in Buena Park, California, was based on egg eggs (Sanrio also the Maker of Hello Kitty and other Helda animals that include animals and food). Gudetama pictures decorate windows at restaurant and he shows all merchandise. Of course, the menu is centered on eggs (which a cafe's mascot, feels a bit cannibary). So I believe that egg defaults should affect the bottom of the business line.

I get to the gudetama cafe in a sunny on Friday morning at 10:50 am, 10 minutes before it is set to open. There are sanchiutions outside, suggesting lines to be high and unproductive (THE Times of Los Angeles reported That's up to the opening of the day in the end of May, people waiting for 12 hours and some turned away). But when I arrived, no one. Also have a fixed paper tap on the door, pointing to me: the lack of egg means I just wasted a time driving in Orange County? No: “Due to the issues of surgery, we open 11:30,” the sign read. “Sorry for the inconvenience 🙁
The cafe is about a mall outside, so I go around. As I wait, I looked three different groups of people to go to Gudetama Cafe and shrug after the sign read. At 11:23 I flashed to be the first line. At 11:25, an employee opens the door.As first of the line, I need to slide open the egg sign that is egged in the cafe.
The cafe content is, to acquire, which is more amazing if you love eggs or cute Japanese mascots. All yellow and gudetama either: his face is on every table and in the giant slices of bacon and ceiling slices from the ceiling in front of a Step-and-repeat.

Gudetama Cafe Range Sandwiches from $ 13.50 to $ 18. Everyone has some form of eggs, even it's chicken eggs or eggs in the quail. I ordered a Katsu Egg and Cheese Sandwich as well as an egg bacon and cheese, which is worth $ 16 and come with tater tots. The two also arrived at a brioche bun with a sunny-side up of the fried egg (with a yolk's gudetama face), american cheese, and chile sauce.
I asked the employee taken my order if they had to shut down or raise prices due to egg shortages. The employee as confused. “We didn't have issues,” he said he gave me my receipt. It surprised me; Just a week before, in a pranch area of LA, I hit a egg surcharge because of the higher egg prices. I tried to follow the message of the cafe's spokesman, but failed to get an answer.
Because gudetama cafe is very kitschy and adorable, I'm perfectly looking forward to eating the best. I didn't hold back for a gourmet experience here, but what I got was, strange, more than enough. The Brioche Bun, stamped with an image of Gudetama, warm and plush and fits. Eggs are runny and the yolks of bright and creamy. The Katsu chicken is not the best I had, but it was not dry, while the BEC was contaminated with the three thick slices of Bacon. In fact, these are the two good breakfast sandwiches that feel the prices of other Los Angeles cafes.
I also bought Corture Cream Cream Puff with Beard Papa; It's dipped in white chocolate and filled with a doll orange-gued peach jam to resemble an egg. Cream puff has a traditional fanilla bean filling another sheet on the face of the “yolk” of the puff. You can say what you like about Gudetama Cafe, but they don't skip any chance for marking. The puff of cream is good, but the stars actually sandwiches.

By the end of my food, some 11:50, the cafe is about half full. There are many families with running children, who photographed every Gudetama statue available, as well as groups of friends with a picture. It doesn't catch it, but I think that weekends during Peak Lunce Time can be much better.
Overall, Gudetama Cafe exceeded my expectations in many ways than one. Eggs, are equally edible and decorative, abundant. There is no hiccup with a service and food, despite repairing aesthetics, really tasty. Even during a lack of eggs, Gudetama gave. Worried about the prices and bird flu for the outside of the world. Inside, business is all sunny side.
