After lowering my ratings for the Two Hippies Pizza and their burrito shop and I was hesitate to check out the breakfast joint, but since I had been waiting since June for it to open and breakfast is my favorite meal I figured I would give it a try.
The hippies are winning me back with the breakfast joint.
Though I'm still irked by cash only, at least it's cheap enough that $20 will go a long way for me and my husband.
Upon arriving I saw a line going out the door. I figured we'd be waiting a long time. The wait wasn't too bad and did give us plenty of time to go over the menu and decide what to order.
I ordered one of the breakfast bowls and a side of fried green tomatoes. You can put six items in your breakfast bowl. I chose spinach, bacon, jalapeno jack cheese, black olives, sun dried tomatoes and the last item escapes me. Even though hash browns is listed on the items to add to your breakfast bowl they technically come in the bowl. Though they are more like tiny home fries not hash browns.
One thing I was surprised by is that they actually serve fresh brewed iced tea. The other hippie establishments don't serve ice tea and knowing this I broke one of my dining rules of bringing in an outside drink. I had to bring my own water, but now that I know I can get a cup of ice tea I won't bring my own drinks again.
The breakfast bowls are huge and knowing how big they are, next time my husband and I will share one.
The fried green tomatoes could be a lot better. The batter needs some work. It's thin and doesn't stick to the tomatoes very well.
The atmosphere is just what you would expect from Two Hippies. Tons of crap on the walls and everywhere. I think if they took out a few things there would be a little more room to sit and eat inside. The big oversized chairs need to go so their is more space for people to eat comfortably. As it is now you'll definitely get to know the people eating next to you as you'll be practically sitting on their laps.
Reading the other reviews I was amazed to find out that they don't serve breakfast all day which seems pretty silly to me considering the word breakfast is in the name of the place. A friend of mine came in past 11:30 and still got breakfast, so I'm not sure if they pick and choose or maybe they are realizing they should serve breakfast all day.
I would eat here again if I happen to have cash on me, but next time I would probably get it to go.
