| - Our other plan for a meal in Monroe fell through, and since we aren't in this area often, we simply looked for something nearby - Crust and Jam was the choice (it was walking distance, and open, so sometimes these things work out).
Luckily they were awesomely friendly, and seemed happy to have us. Of course, it could be that no one else was there, but whatever the case, it was a nice thing, as all too often, the staff at a restaurant don't seem to care much.
When it comes to food, there were unfortunately no biscuits, despite being hinted at in the name (the "jam" part) and listed on the window. But still, they did have pizza (that "crust" part), so we decided to take that route instead.
Their garlic knots are a bit different - they are more like garlic rolls, but a decent amount of butter and a solid amount of garlic make them a passable starter. And the pizza followed along in no time. Unlike other places, you can even order half-and-half specialty pizzas, which is a nice trick.
We followed up with some of their donuts, which were a tasty finish, though the dough itself was better than some of the toppings (the icing itself was a bit thick).
Certainly a nice treat in downtown Monroe - and that's not just because they were the only place open, either.
