| - Believe the hype.
After several awful experiences at Pomegranate, we were happy to see a new breakfast option open. Check out my review of Pomegranate for more details.
We've been in about 3 times now and loved it all 3 times. There are so few places like this anymore. The amount of pride put into everything they do is so incredible! So far, I don't think we've found a single thing that isn't made from scratch. My girlfriend asked for hot sauce. One of the owners kindly obliged. When he got back he brought 2 store bought hot sauces along with a cup of his homemade. He said we could try the store bought "not so good one", or try his. He was absolutely right. We used the whole cup.
The pride even goes into the water that is used for coffee. We don't drink soda. We always order water with meal. The same owner said to make sure to use the water on the soda machine because they use a top notch filtration system.
There was a family with a toddler right next to us. At one point, the child had dropped a small toy on the floor. The owner came from behind the counter, actually wiped the toy off with a clean towel, and gave it to the parents. On my first visit, one of the owners took my 11 year old daughter to watch her decorate cookies for an upcoming birthday party. She gave my daughter a sample as well. That's service.
The breakfast and pastries are delicious. I love cannolis and this place has them. Naturally, all aspects of them, including the shells, are made from scratch.
So if you have the option, skip Pomegranate and go here. It's a way better experience all around.
