| - This is a fun one. Funky decor(robots and donuts are the ongoing theme), eclectic menu, and friendly staff.
This place was HOPPIN' on a Sunday around 9:30--but the waitstaff told us it would only get busier by 11(which is when the apps and lunch items roll out). We were able to get seated at the counter, though, which I actually think I'd prefer. It was comfortable and we were helped right away.
I chose the shrimp and grits and a horchata latte. The dish was good, but my egg was a bit underdone. Clear, raw egg white goo nestled up to my lovely yolk and that gives me the heebies. The latte had good flavor. They brew Collectivo(formerly Alterra) beans, and make their own horchata. Unfortunately, they make it sooooo sweet, I won't be ordering it again. I couldn't even finish half my mug. Maybe we could have an unsweetened version, or at least chill out on the sugar?
I forbid my boyfriend to order his standard meat, egg, bread combo--(here it's 'merican style). I can do that t home for $1.98, dude. So, he rolled his eyes and got the corned beef hash. This is chunks of brisket, not the weird canned dog food looking stuff. He also got a donut to go, but didn't eat it until the next day...so we won't pass judgement because it wasn't fresh.
The validated parking is the cherry on top! It's nice to not have to jockey for a downtown parking spot before you've even had your cup of coffee.
