VIBE
Grapefruit Moon (or GM) really feels like a neighbourhood hang. Lots of young friends hanging out here on a Saturday morning. In the front, there's lots of light streaming in from the windows and people lined up waiting to get a seat. But you won't wait too long. The decor is an eclectic mishmash of tchotkes and the dishware doesn't match -- all part of its charm. Service is friendly but no-nonsense. They're a wee busy!
WE ATE
My friend had the breakfast quesadilla - eggs, black beans, and cheese - full of flavour. It's hard for me to resist liking a quesadilla when I had a bite. I had the breakfast special of the brie and avocado grilled cheese. I love both of these foods and together they create a good texture but there was no flavour. The homefries were spot on and salty, just the way I like it. I might go for the basic eggs and bacon if I come back.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
A grapefruit moon is not something you think of. It's odd and quirky. That's this place but it makes you feel cozy. A nice staple in the Annex.
