. "4"^^ . "It's Saturday morning. You wake up and think \"Man, I wish Calgary had a breakfast delivery service!\" Next, all of the currently popular breakfast spots run through your head and you groan at the thought of the lineup that has probably formed at each one already. Then you remember this neighbourhood you used to live in, Mount Pleasant. And you remember reading a couple of reviews for this place called John's Breakfast & Lunch. Mount Pleasant isn't the Beltline. There's a chance there won't actually be a lineup....\n\nThat was my Saturday morning monologue. Guess what? It was right! We walked into John's just before 11. We were the beginning of the line up. It took maybe another 5 minutes for a table to open up. Score!\n\nThe menu sports at least 8 different kinds of omelettes. I had the chorizo sausage one. Served with hash browns and toast, this folded pocket of eggy goodness was packed full of sausage and peppers. Did I mention it was, like, $8.95? Take that crappy chain breakfast spots. Breakfast is served all day long. The menu says lunch starts at 11... although our server said both were available all day. So, take your pick. Omelette, burger, bowl full of rice noodles and spring rolls? Yeah, that's right! There are two Vietnamese dishes on the menu as well. And those spring rolls? Impressively big and extra crunchy. I think they win my spring roll award.\n\nIt's nothing fancy. But it's good and filling food for price that's easy to swallow. The servers are friendly, and quick on the coffee refills. And you even get a fortune cookie with your bill. According to mine, \"An unexpected event will soon make your life more exciting.\" Guess I need another cookie to find out what it's gonna be!"^^ .
