| - After reading some great things about this place, myself and my boyfriend decided to check it out one Sunday afternoon. I'm also planning on opening up my own breakfast cafe in the near future, so visiting and comparing various breakfast places is also helpful for my own market research.
This time around, instead of just us two, we invited 3 more couples to join us. My first impression of the cafe was spacious with a nice plain brick wall and art work on the wall for sale, features I've noticed in other popular brunch places. One drawback to this place was their beautiful front counter was facing toward the wall; it would have worked much better facing toward the doorway with fresh cupcakes on display.
I also noticed that no music was played in the background, a feature I enjoy. The menu was a foldout with two sides plus the back listing drinks, as they also serve beer. Our water was served plainly, although a nice jug full of water with mint leaves and lemons would have been an extra nice touch. I ordered the Big Breakfast ($11.95) and earl gray tea ($1.50).
I'm guessing they were under staffed or I sure hope so because one of their kitchen staff sporting a hairnet was going around taking orders as well as serving food, not exactly eye pleasing. I hope this isn't their usual wait staff head wear.
After 30 minutes, our orders arrived, although the long wait could have been attributed to the size of our party. The portion sizes were massive, you get two sausages, two bacon strips, two eggs any way you want, potatoes, pancakes or French toast, fruit and pre-buttered toast. My poached eggs were on the runny side as I like mine to be somewhere in the middle. The bacon was good, but had no hint of any other extra flavor. The sausages were a bit overdone and dry. The potatoes were nice and crispy, the pancakes were nice and fluffy, however, none of the fruits in the fruit salad complimented each other and were instead all very separate flavors, you could tell there was no thought put into the dish. We also found the meal to be quite cool and not hot at all. My earl gray tea was served in a nice tea pot but was a bit on the thin side.
The bill for the two of us was $30, pretty good price for the portions that you get, but more suited for someone who just wants to be fed as opposed to someone who wants to enjoy what they're eating.
