| - This is a hidden gem in downtown breakfast options.
After talking to the owner, I learned that the cafe used to be in Lawrenceville, but has been located Downtown most of 2013. Lawrenceville's loss is Downtown's gain. The large space is softened by lots of green houseplants and tables for 2 accented by art deco lamps. The larger high-top tables fit about 4 people, so this isn't a good place for big groups.
The food is cooked to order, but while you wait you are served fresh slices of baguette, jam, and butter to tide you over. The individual breakfasts are served piping hot and quite tasty. My husband especially enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros with its fresh roasted vegetables, spicy sauce, and home-cooked beans. I was a big fan of the super-fluffy Greek Omelette. Lastly, they serve big cups of La Prima coffee.
If you want a hearty vegetarian breakfast before going to the Convention Center, this is the place to go.
As an aside, some of the reviews mention the surly owner/cook, but I'm happy to report that he has hired a waitress who is very friendly. I found the owner to be a bit gruff but friendly.
