Came here on a whim after fasting for my annual physical. I was warmly greeted into the cozy space from the rainy, snowy, cold winter day in progress outside.
I took a seat at the bar and ordered their signature mimosa which is a mash up between a mimosa, hibiscus and screwdriver and packs a punch. Definitely delicious though.
I opted for the crab, tomato, parmesan and scallion quiche of the day with a whole-wheat, strawberry-topped waffle. After sipping down my signature cocktail about halfway, my breakfast arrived.
I tackled the waffle to start. Very good flavor but it should be noted that the waffle isn't Belgian style so it's a bit more dense which was fine by me. The whipped cream was definitely a cool whip-type of which I am not a fan. I also couldn't tell whether it was the powdered sugar or the syrup but there was that weird aftertaste characteristic of fake sugar. It gave the dish a strange taste but I was able to move past it out of sheer hunger. The strawberries were fresh but tasted like they were sliced and left open in the fridge which made them taste like the other things with which they were stored. All these things together sort of dampened the waffle experience for me but may not be noticeable or of concern to others. I admit my palette is a bit sensitive.
The quiche was the star of the show. Perfectly seasoned, fluffy egg and tons of crab meat. The scallions and tomatoes paired perfectly with the delicate crab meat and the crust was buttery. The parmesan created a crust of its own atop which made for a perfect complement.
The staff were great from start to finish. My breakfast of solitude was enlivened by the banter of local regulars and newbies alike. All in all a great experience. I will definitely be back.
