| - WOW I absolutely love love love Bassett! I came here on a Monday morning with a friend for breakfast, and I Eggs Benedicto, Red Velvet Donut, Donut w/ cinnamon custard, and Horchata Latte. What's great about Bassett is that they make classic breakfast foods with their own twists. And while you can taste this "twist", the flavor of the classic breakfast food comes out. They're really good with flavors such that the flavors mix well and that no one flavor overpowers another.
Both the donuts were really good, but we felt that they donuts were not as soft as they could have been. Perhaps if we had come earlier (we were there around 10AM), the donuts would have been softer. Also, I thought the custard filled donut did not have a good custard to donut ratio, and the donut ended up being a bit dry.
The Horchata Latte was amazing, but a little on the sweet side. This didn't impact my rating, but I prefer sweeter coffee, so it's more of a heads up. The horchata flavor really came out in the latte without overpowering the coffee flavor, which is great.
The Eggs Benedicto were AMAZING! I love eggs benedict because the egg is so soft and I love hollandaise sauce, and Bassett really nailed that! The egg was poached really well, and you could really taste that hint of lemon in the Hollandaise sauce. They also add a tomato and salsa verde, and together it was a flavor explosion! (A good one of course).
Overall, I love how successfully Bassett tweaks typical breakfast foods without completely changing them. They are really successful at combining flavors, and 10/10 I would come again.
