An update to call out several items on the Cafe Belong menu specifically:
THE FRUIT AND NUT SALAD IS BONKERS. Bonkers. Based on what's fresh and available, yesterday's version featured toasted almonds, plums, peaches, beautiful greens and a brown butter vinaigrette.
Cafe Belong has a "brunch master" (official title) on staff, so you know they do midday weekend eats right. Downed with some house-made fizzy water and a blueberry vodka cocktail...it was a perfect summer meal.
Yelp note: the staff here is great, and they've really hit their stride on the service front. I showed up with a dog, and they helped find him a shaded place on the patio, and moved my table so that I'd be sitting close to him. Double shout-outs for the Evergreen Brickworks volunteer who supplied him with a bowl of water. Happy dog = happy me. I'll be a regular bruncher here, trust.
