| - Is it trite to give this place 5 stars?
Should I be contrarian and say this place sucks?
I... can't. I just can't. This place is hands-down the best breakfast place in the valley, and short of getting a $30 breakfast at a swanky resort, it isn't even close.
I'll start by saying that when you order coffee, they bring you REAL CREAM for it. Do you know how long it's been since I've seen a breakfast place bring me real cream? So long that I had to check to make sure it wasn't spoiled half & half. It makes their already good coffee taste awesome.
Next, they have actual thick cut bacon, not the pre-packaged strips you'll find at Denny's.. I'm drooling just thinking about it.
Everything I've had off their griddle (french toast, belgian waffles, crepes) have been awesome. If you get the chance and you're hankering something sweet, get their taffy apple french toast. I think they put me in a sugar coma, but it's soooo good. Tons of apples, caramel, pecans, other things I don't really remember cause I kinda blacked out. Oddly enough, though I haven't had them myself, I've heard the pancakes were less than spectacular- crumbly and overdone was the description a friend gave Strange for what would seem to be their signature dish. I'll chalk it up to a one-time error.
Also, can anyone explain why I find the need to order eggs for breakfast? For some reason, it just doesn't feel like a breakfast meal unless there are eggs present, but I only ever eat like half of them. I don't even really like them. That's not really related to the review, just kinda throwing it out there.
