| - Boom! Helped me re-discover the joy of breakfast. I am the type of person who almost always chooses a sandwich over eggs- I meet my friends for "breakfast" and I almost always buy "lunch". I used to always feel that buying breakfast foods when I'm at a restaurant is essentially wasting a meal out, much to the chagrin of my brekky-loving friends (who have confronted me about it).
Maybe it's a getting-older thing, but the allure of sleeping past the most important meal of the day is not quite the same as it used to be, and the idea of getting up early (yes, now sometimes I have to, but sometimes I even *choose* to) and meeting someone for eggs and toast and coffee so early in the day is strangely exciting. I even go there by myself sometimes. Seriously, it's like, crazy fun.
I don't do the poached thing, so the whole "Benny Sent Me" section of the menu is out, but I do favour the basic breakfast with free refills of coffee (tread carefully...), toast, eggs, bacon and that little piece of roasted tomato that just makes it perfect. A frills-less variation is- wait for it- $3.99(!?!) before 9 am, and there are also the more desserty dishes that involve chocolate and whipped cream and the like.
I love the atmosphere of this place, and its bright blue and yellow interior is as lovely as a clear and sunny morning. The weekends always find them lined up outside the door, but I'd say it's worth the wait if your belly can handle it. Oh, and don't order the burger (I did once and was a little disappointed), you're here for breakfast, okay?
