| - My last day in Charlotte and of course I had to do brunch with the family and my bestie. My mother wanted to try something new- Lil Spoon appeared to have options outside of your traditional grits and eggs.
The location is in the same center as Mellow Mushroom. There is parking at the back of the building. The area is a little congested, and I can see it being problematic if there are a lot of patrons at the center.
I went in ahead of my group to see how long the wait was. We arrived around 12:30 or so, and my party of 5 was immediately able to be seated. The staff was extremely accommodating. I advised that my 98 year old granny was in my party and they allowed us to come in through the back door. As we were entering a staff member was headed out and even held the door for us. Once in, our table was already set up for us, and we did not have to go far with granny. Big kudos for this!!
Our wait staff was Anne. She was sweet and even mentioned that my granny made her think of her grandmother whom she had not seen in a number of years.
We were provided with a container of water for the table, I always love this idea. No need to keep coming back to the table to refill cups of water! I also ordered the caramel latte with coconut milk. As a starter the table shared the deviled eggs. You get 5 deviled eggs, which was perfect for our group. We also ordered the French toast, the hashed and the SEC. the French toast was the winner of all of the items we tried. My mother and bestie both had the hashed, both agreed they would not re- order. They felt in needed additional flavor. The SEC was basically a chicken sausage egg and cheese sandwich. I enjoyed it, but would likely try something else on my return. I almost forgot to mention, they also accommodated my mother splitting her hashed with my granny. It came out in two dishes, already separated--- NICE!!
I would love to come back to try other menu options. I like the fact that they have selections to cover a variety of dietary plans. They also have a decent selection of coffee drinks and even offer alcoholic shots as add ins!!
If you are looking for a quaint spot for brunch- look no further! Not only will you be impressed with the food, but the service will exceed your expectations. ... oh yeah, the music played in the background was a score, think old school hip hip!
