Le Peep

Got the La Jolla Benedict.  It was good, but nothing out of the ordinary.  Wouldn't mind returning again.

It's a good brunch place. I had the king's pancake which is like a Swedish pancake...a cross from a regular pancake and a crepe. Their sweet tea is a lil minty and the service is great.

I really enjoyed my Sunday brunch here. We arrived at noon and expected to wait a while. Fortunately we were seated by a smiling hostess in about 5 minutes. Our server Emily was very friendly and knowledgeable. She put up with a lot of substitutions from me and was really quick to clear dirty dishes from the table.I had the Yoga Instructor sandwich ($6.95) with a side salad with the honey ginger dressing. This was definitely homemade dressing and it was delicious. You could taste the honey and fresh ginger. I'm not a breakfast food kind of person and I get nervous about the quality of the nonbreakfast items on the menu at some places. This was definitely not the case here. A lot of thought went into the sandwich menu.The other person in my party had the fruit parfait ($6.35) and we split a half order of the battered toast ($3.55). The parfait was good sized with strawberry yogurt, granola, and chunks of mixed fruit. It was fine but since I could have made this at home I didn't get too excited.

The battered toast, though, wow!! This was basically toast battered in an egg and grilled. That may sound like French toast, but it wasn't overly sweet at all. The sweetness came from the granola that was sprinkled over the top. There was a side ramekin of baked apples which really complimented the toast well. I would definitely get this again.

The one complaint I have is that the temperature of the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. I would guess it was around 78-82 degrees and really stuffy. It's funny because I have eaten at the Le Peep near 82nd and 465 and had the same problem. It was just plain hot. We didn't order coffee and drank about 4 glasses of water from the pitcher on the table. Le Peep is a regular in my breakfast (okay, lunch) rotation. I just wish they would turn up the AC.
