Even the drizzle couldn't keep me away from brunch on this fall day. Located at 1380 Burlingame Ave, this multi-located eatery will serve delicious food and coffee for every meal. The coffee beans used at every location are organic, fair-trade, house roasted and expertly brewed to your liking. The food is various and the outdoor seating at this particular location, included coverings that kept me dry.
Their web site lists locations and full menus for each service period.
Here are some of the things I've enjoyed.
Cappuccino. One of my standards, this one was robust, flavorful and nicely presented in a customized ceramic mug.
SoCal Omelette. A good breakfast plate with everything one needs. Encased in this egg robe were roasted tomatoes, onions, applewood smoked bacon, and panela cheese. Topped with fresh avocado and cilantro, the two slices of baguette rounded out the meal nicely.
Salmon Eggs Benedict. A well-made benedict can be a bit trickly to pull off. This one had smoked salmon, poached eggs with perfectly runny yolks, creamy hollandaise sauce, briny capers, onions and cream cheese on an english muffin. The side salad was lightly dressed with lemon and olive oil, included fresh, crisp greens and crunchy, seasoned croutons. Delicious.
Prosciutto & Fig Salad. This was an entrée by itself with sweet black mission figs, salty prosciutto, creamy goat cheese, candied walnuts and fresh mixed greens. The balance of flavors and textures won points with my taste buds, and I heartily enjoyed this plate.
Quiche Lorraine. The smoked salmon was an optional side that I added to my plate. But I may not have needed this extra side. This was a decent-sized slice of egg delight. The crust was very thin, but still flaky and held the savory custard nicely. The bits of bacon, onion, cheddar, swiss and parmesan cheeses made this a tasty and hearty meal. Their lightly dressed signature side salad was, again, fresh and crisp and made for a nice palate cleanser in between bites.
If in the areas of this or the other locations, I would not hesitate to stop in for a slow meal, quick bite, some baked treats or just a guilt-free cup of coffee. I would recommend anyone do the same.
