A West Orange café’s plan to battle "egg-flation" has been scrambled.

Harpers Cafe on South Valley Road was hoping to run a promotion today in which customers could trade an egg for small drip coffee.

However those plans were cracked when the café got a visit from the health department this morning. "They informed us that we cannot accept eggs to donate," a post on Instagram stated.

However, the café said they were going to go ahead and give free coffee anyway. Harper's Cafe is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
