Essence is a favorite weekend brunch spot. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I definitely recommend the Croque Madam (sign me up for the gruyere cheese, tomato, fried egg deliciousness!)or the crepes. If you visit for lunch, the grilled cheese sandwich will make your taste buds rejoice. Or go for the Mediterrean Roasted Vegetable sandwich - veggies & goat cheese? Just go ahead and close your eyes and say mmmmm right now! Essence is a great place for a special weekend with girlfriends or your sweetie (or soon to be sweetie - great date spot too!). Take an assortment of the macaroons to go, you will be happy you did!
