| - Finally! Somewhere in Las Vegas that I can get brunch, besides my own kitchen! Now, I know what you're thinking: Jen - isn't brunch mainly an excuse to swig bloody Mary's and/or Mimosas and be drunk before 2pm? doesn't being vegan and not able to eat anything besides dry toast and fruit make that easier? Well, yes. You got me there. But sometimes, I actually want a little protein or maybe a waffle too/instead. Is that so much to ask? Apparently so.
Until now.
I'm gonna be honest. I had tried some of Chef Mayra's catered food before at events and had not been blown away. They were fine, always just a bit bland. Not so with the brunch! Fortunately I went with three friends, so we just got one of everything on the brunch menu and shared. I'm usually not a big fan of sweet/carb-y breakfast food, but the waffles and french toast were outstanding. OMFG, that chocolate waffle. It was like the most delicate delicious brownie... I don't know if I could eat a whole one, but 1/4 was the perfect breakfast dessert. I also loved the regular waffle and the sausage with peppers that came with the French toast! The only thing that I wasn't crazy about was the breakfast burrito. It was a bit cold, with unmelted Daiya cheese, and the flavor profile just didn't hit me right. But the side of beans that came with ..... damn. One of the best things I've tasted in awhile! I admit I probably took more than my fair share...
Great coffee, with lots of different flavors of coconut milk creamer. And the ultimate in refreshment - citrus cucumber water. Yum.
We had very attentive service, the chef even came out and spoke to us personally. Our total bill for 4 with coffees, an entree and fancy waters was under $60. We all left completely stuffed and quite happy.
Can't wait to come back and try the lunch menu; if it's as good as my favorites on the brunch menu, I'll probably round this up to 5 stars. So thrilled to have an organic, all vegan place that's close to home!
