| - After seeing the ludicrous lines out the door at Matt's Big Breakfast, I found myself driving without much direction in the pursuit of breakfast in a city I'd never been to in my life before. Google maps led me to Two Hippies, and I'm certainly glad it did. Instead of street parking, long lines, and smug diners enjoying your wait times, I found a cozy, quiet, and after my experience, a fascinatingly uncrowded restaurant instead, with awesome food and no wait.
The interior is full of crap all over the walls, but there is a theme to it all; to its namesake, it's all relatively hippie-era stuff, and I can dig all the Ramones posters as well as old stoner groups. As mentioned, it was quiet on a Saturday morning, but I'm not complaining because it meant that I didn't have to wait to order my breakfast burrito bowl to the friendly staff. I ordered bacon and chorizo, with spinach, tomato and onion.
The food came out fast, and the portions were generous. Certainly a very favorable portion versus cost to the consumer. It looked like a gigantic omelette on top of tasty home fries, but no less delicious. And it was. Adding bacon to anything is always a risk, because so many places scrimp on the bacon, the flavor is minimal or non-existent, but Two Hippies did neither of such. There was plenty of bacon and its flavor, and everything was fantastic. Adding some Sriacha red rooster sauce was unnecessary, but also enhancing.
As mentioned, the cost was great for the amount of food received, the staff friendly, the atmosphere warm and cozy, no wait, easy parking, and an overall great experience. This traveler was very pleased by Two Hippies.
