| - Let me put this in terms you other restaurants can understand-- this place does EVERYTHING right.
Everything, from the quaint little interior that will make you feel like you've been transported to a small town in the country side, to the extensive root beer and rare soda collection to the visual delight of their baked goods spanning the length of the counter, is what helps make your experience at bread and Butter worth repeating. They are a bakery, breakfast destination and also a good spot to stop by for a casual lunch. Should I add coffee destination to that list? I just did. I often criticize businesses for trying to be too many things at once-- but hey, if you can pull it off then what's the harm? The reason BnB is so successful is that they have underlying themes to everything they do. They don't offer a food item if it doesn't fit their philosophy so it never feels forced or tacked on.
Shall I start with the service? It was excellent. My compliments go to the young ladies who worked at the counter on St Patty's weekend because they were nothing but extremely polite and helpful when it came to choosing items on the menu. You'll notice this isn't exactly a classic sit down joint, but it's far from fast food. You order what you must from the front, grab a seat and your order will be brought to you in a timely manner.
It was a brunch sort of time so we decided on the sourdough waffles and the egg sandwich. We sipped on our coffee (Irish Cream and a white mocha) while we waited for our food. I was honestly blown away-- I did not expect this place to be able to make coffee like that. We added some splenda for sweetness but the flavors infused into these two cups of coffee rival the best coffee shops in town. What a way to start off your day!
The sourdough waffles arrived shortly. I'll admit to being skeptical about how sour dough would taste in waffle form but this skepticism was shattered immediately in the first bite. Hands down, the best waffles I have ever tasted. They are very light and fluffy, and are rather small as far as portion sizes go, so you should order them as a side dish to something more hearty, but I can't stop fantasizing about these things since I last ate them. They come with a bit of powdered sugar, delicious, home made butter and an absolutely phenomenal home made strawberry jam. I nearly fainted from the multiple foodgasms experienced as I worked through this dish.
The egg sandwich arrived a bit later as it took longer to freshly bake. Another excellent choice. The crispy bread, the interesting choice of asparagus, zucchini , tangy roasted peppers and goat cheese created a breakfast item unlike any I had ever had before. Protip-- it is a bit lacking in saltiness and benefits from a few drops of hot sauce as you gorge. They were kind enough to offer me some organic sriracha to do the trick. With this in mind, I promise you will love the item.
And for dessert (at breakfast?) Upon leaving, we were given a complimentary chocolate "cookie" by our very kind server. I use the quotes because this monstrosity was about the size and weight of an NHL regulation hockey puck. We decided to save it for dessert after dinner that night and we definitely did not regret that decision. It was so flavor packed and moist and delectable that I seriously worried about acquiring type 2 diabetes. After this experience, BnB can do no wrong and is without question one of the elite breakfast and bakery destinations in Clark County. This is the kinda good worth driving for-- I promise you won't regret the trip.
