| - This is our go-to place for breakfast. Okay, well, let me clarify. This is our ONLY go-to place for breakfast. We go here on lazy Saturday mornings. We take guests here. We recommend it to anyone who'll listen.
Their food is consistenly good (due to my gluten issues, I normally get the Plain and Simple with eggs and sausage and sub tomatoes for the english muffin). My husband usually gets some sort of omelette or scramble and subs a pancake for his english muffin.
The waitstaff is never less than happy to be there (or at least it sure seems that way!). I've never had someone in a bad mood, I've never had anyone be snippy with my questions about ingredients, no one's ever looked askance at me for my weird food issues.
Only one small thing that irks me, and I plan on talking to someone about it, but just haven't gotten around to it. I'm a tea snob, see? And I think that their hot water for tea isn't much in the way of filtered. I remember when we first moved to Phoenix and didn't realize the water was so horrible. I woke up and made myself some tea. It took a little bit of time, but I realized a few things - it's the wrong color, there is some sort of film on top, and this crap leaves _rings_ on the side of the mug. Holy hard water, batman! Let me tell you, what a difference a filter makes. Okay, filtered water. We quickly learned that a Brita filter or a Pur-that-attaches-to-your-sink-faucet filter just don't cut it here. So, we get Sparkletts. It makes SUCH a huge difference. So, I know that tea drinkers probably don't comprise a large constituency for them, and my comments may fall on slightly deaf ears, but hey, a girl's gotta try, right? Some day, at least. ;)
A few words to the wise. They have apple cinnamon jelly on the table, but if that's not to your taste, they also have blackberry (I think) jam availalble.
Second sneaky secret - to beat the rush on the weekends? Call in advance and get your name on the list before you leave the house. Works like a dream.
