| - I adore this place... and not just because it's close to home! It's a cute and cozy little cafe - so nice and quiet! The workers are all really sweet, and the brunch is pretty freakin' good!
I had the chilaquiles, and they were superb, even to-go. The husband had the bisquits and gravy with chorizo. He wasn't over-wowed by them, but said he'd go back.
We tried a couple of their baked goods: the lemon-blueberry scone was alright. The maple-bacon cinnamon roll is a good idea... but could use some work. Our roll was mostly... well, roll. It needs more glaze, and more filling - it was so bready that it was hard to tell that there was any bacon involved. The winner for us was the blueberry loaf. That was pretty awesome (and I'm a pretty good home baker, so... I don't do baked good compliments often).
I returned later in the week for lunch, and had the Red Chile Chicken salad - it was really good! I wish it was a bigger portion, and I wish it was tossed a little better - all the good stuff was at the bottom and I didn't realize it until I had eaten almost all the greens!!!
The "Cafe" part of the name is kinda misleading - I thought I'd be able to get a latte there. They have Cartel coffee, but no espresso drinks. If I was still a student, I'd be here ALL the time studying!
