| - We were hungry and there was a line, so we got the ham-and-cheese-stuffed croissant from the mini-bakery counter while we waited. Then when we sat down, the most attractive things on the menu to us that day were the Croissant Monsieur (ham and cheese, with bechemel sauce and an added fried egg on top) and the Monte Cristo (ham, turkey, and cheese on challah French toast). All the ingredients are local, which may have been why those 15 minutes it took me to inhale my food were pure heaven.
I got the mixed greens on the side, and my boyfriend got the fruit side dish. Holy cow, get the fruit. Usually fruit side dishes are pineapple and mellon and a few strawberries. This one was virtually all berries -- straw, black, blue, rasp.
Needless to say, we went all in with the ham dishes, and I am not disappointed in the least. As savory as you can get, and did I mention the ingredients are all local?
As per usual, boyfriend preferred one dish -- Monte Cristo, because he loves all things French toast -- and I preferred the other -- Croissant Monsieur. I found the Monte Cristo a little dry, while the Croissant had the moistness of the buttery croissant as well as the fried egg on top to make it my perfect breakfast. Brunch. Lunch.
