the gourmet breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant at 5107 Main Street just south of the Country Club Plaza, opened in 2006 by the locally founded Minsky’s Pizza company; Tier 1 as a 20-year, KC-rooted owner-operated South Plaza fixture.

Description

eggtc. is a gourmet breakfast, brunch, and lunch restaurant at 5107 Main Street, a few blocks south of the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri — the original and flagship of the eggtc. concept, often referred to as the “South Plaza” location.12 It sits near the UMKC campus and the Brookside and Plaza neighborhoods, and describes itself as “casual and eclectic,” with fine art and photography throughout the dining rooms.1

The menu is built around gourmet breakfast — four versions of Eggs Benedict, omelets, crepes, pancakes, waffles, French toast, quiche, skillets, and rancheros — alongside homemade yogurt, granola, and fresh pastries; lunch service after 11 a.m. adds signature sandwiches, garden-fresh salads, and homemade soups.13 Frequently cited dishes include the Nova Scotia Lox and the bananatella French toast, and the coffee bar pours Costa Rican blends from Kansas City’s Parisi Artisan Coffee.31

As of 2026 the restaurant remains open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (closed Thanksgiving and Christmas); its Yelp listing was updated in May 2026 with 654 reviews.14

Ownership and history

The first eggtc. opened in 2006 at 5107 Main Street and was founded by Minsky’s, the locally founded Kansas City pizza company.25 The name is styled as a lowercase wordmark — “eggtc.” — playing on “egg” plus “etc.”2 Minsky’s expanded the concept in 2009 with a second location at 7182 Renner Road in Shawnee, Kansas, in the former Arizona’s Neighborhood Bar and Grille space.5

In 2024, Minsky’s sold the Shawnee restaurant; new owners Matt and Heather McQueeny rebranded that location as Rize N Shine, keeping roughly 80% of the menu and staff.5 The original Main Street / South Plaza location covered by this page remains under Minsky’s ownership and continues operating as eggtc.5 The company website lists the South Plaza store as the active eggtc. location.1

(Note on other locations: the Shawnee, KS location at 7182 Renner Rd is no longer an eggtc. — it operates as Rize N Shine. This page is scoped to the Plaza/Main Street original.)
