| - Oh, Dragonfly Cafe, why did you have to be closed for breakfast today? I was almost at DC's doorstep when I decided to use my Yelp app to check on the cafe's hours, and darn it, it was closed! So, I ended up at Butters, instead.
I arrived at around 10:30a, a bit of a late start since I had to switch venue plans, but no worries, as I would only have to wait about five minutes before being seated outdoors (and it was such a beautiful morning, too!). I'd have enjoyed listening to the water fountain across from my table a lot more if traffic sounds didn't intrude, but what can I do? I quickly got over it.
I knew to stay away from the sweeter French toast concoctions, since the pumpkin bread variety I chose for my first visit was too sweet for my taste. It took me awhile to decide what to have- blueberry pancakes or strawberry cheesecake French toast? In the end, the write up on the "house strawberry-mascarpone blend" made the decision for me. Ooh, I was looking forward to this!
I wish I had more time to order a cup of coffee from the coffee shop next door, since Butters' drip coffee isn't a fave of mine (or of my Mom's). I gave it a second try today, and I still don't like it. The wait for the French toast wasn't long, about ten minutes. I found my first three or so bites to be delightful, but then I got bored. I don't think I'd order the dish again, unless I were to share it with someone else knowing that I had another dish to look forward to. I suppose not all breakfast sweets can be as great as that of the Herb Box's Red velvet pancakes, or even that of Dragonfly Cafe's Bananas foster French toast... Perhaps I should just stick to the savory items on the menu, such as that salmon/lox omelet we enjoyed on our first trip here.
2.5 stars, but the service was OK, so rounding up to 3. A shout-out for Rafael and the busser today. You guys did a great job!
