First Watch

Have eaten here many times.  We love the Trifecta with eggs, choice of meat and pancake or waffle.  However, this time I ordered the Healthy crepe with fruit, granola and muffin.  The coffee is great.  Server was friendly and food came on time.  

The crepe was good and full of very fresh fruit.  However the yoghurt topping was very pink and very cold, supermarket yoghurt.  The granola was not sure if it was topping or cereal size.  Came in a little souffle cup and was about 1/4 cup or less.  No milk in sight.  Too little yoghurt on the crepe to use to moisten the granola.  Good flavor but dry.

The blueberry muffin was very cold and totally sticky.  Either right out of refrigerator or wrapped while hot and put in cooler.  I have never been served a cold muffin (no butter in sight).  Suggested they visit Perkins to see how to serve a muffin.

I took it home and microwaved it.  It fell apart and it tasted like a packaged mix without any fresh blueberries in evidence.

I contacted the company and they said the cold muffin was SOP (standard operating procedure?) but must have been covered while too warm.  They suggested I should have asked for the muffing to be warmed up. DUH.  The yoghurt was Stoneyfield.  No comment from them on any of my other issues.

My husband had one of the crepe with egg choices that had a sauce on top that he said was too lemony tasting.

I would go back again because I love the Trifecta but other items not as successful.

--had Sunday breakfast here.  This place is not fancy-shmancy w/ high prices.  It was very good & affordable.  The place has bright & cheerful colors to greet you.  It's been in the old Sunrise Cafe spot since April, but we just discovered it.  They offer some healthier alternatives & tout no heat lamps, no deep fryers, & no microwaves.  It does have a strange name though.  

We were up early and though the place was full, there was no wait.  We were greeted & seated promptly.  Our waitress was friendly & came w/a full pot of coffee.  We browsed the menu (nice selections) and ordered.  My husband's pecan multigrain pancake was light & fluffy even though whole grain & my waffle too.  My only slightly negative comment is that Belgium waffles are soft in the middle & crisp on the outside.  This 'said Belgium' but it was all soft like a regular.  
All in all, we enjoyed, were in & out, ready to enjoy our 72degree November day!

My 4 stars--good service & a combo special called the tri-fecta.  It's a choice of many kinds of pancakes or waffle, egg & meat.  (Nearby breakfast restaurants overcharge for a waffle, then you have to add the egg & meat ala carte. --too expensive.)  

We'll be back.  Their 1/2 soup, salad or sandwich for 6 something makes it look like a good place to pop in.

My hubby absolutely loved the blueberry pancakes. I had a yummy omelette and a side of fruit. You cant go wrong with the service and quality of the meal.
