| - If you're looking for an early start to the day, you won't be starting it at L'ouvrier since they don't open until 11am for brunch. But what do I care, I'm not an early riser anyway.
So, onto the food...
I have a weak spot for fresh scones and donuts so whenever I see them on the menu, it's almost a guarantee I'll get them. My brunch at here was no different and we started with the Daily Homemade Scones - with preserves and crème fraiche ($6). The order came with two large, hot scones. While they were moist and tasted delicious with the preserves and crème fraiche, they were on the dense side. Since the scones were so large and heavy, the two of us shared one scone and packed the second to go.
Grilled Cheese - with aged cheddar and raisin-walnut bread ($10). My mom ordered this and I don't think I'd ever order this on my own since the raisin-walnut bread didn't sound too appealing to me. But boy was I wrong. The grilled cheese sandwich was delicious and the stand-out was really the bread!
Fried Egg Sandwich - aged cheddar, house smoked bacon and fries ($13): The sandwich was served on plain, white, buttery bread. The egg was nicely fried with a runny yolk that coated the sandwich. Although the sandwich was tasty, I wouldn't say it was anything special. However, I will say one thing. The sandwich was served with their house smoked bacon which blew my mind. I couldn't finish the sandwich, but I made sure I got my hands on every last bit of bacon in it. The sandwich also came with a mountain of fries... which weren't as crisp as I would have preferred.
Overall, a decent brunch. Nothing really blew my mind, but if you live in the area, it's worth checking out.
