A Cafe I Should Have By-Passed

Posted on by LFFL

Breakfast at a cafe

Grilled Cheese Sandwich, Hash browns, Biscuits & Gravy, Pancake, and Cinnamon Sugar Toast.

Now this is one café I could have done without going to altogether!  I tried this café on the advice of a couple of ladies (whom I did not know) who said this was an absolutely great little diner to get some good eatin’.

I had never heard of it and didn’t even know where it was located—but I found my way.  Boy, did I ever!

Dead flies on the window sill are always a plus.
Not a smile to be found.
Empty-ish.

The café was pretty much empty except for the neighborhood regulars—who, surprisingly, can eat subpar food.  I couldn’t even eat all mine—it was so NOT good.  Only the cinnamon sugar toast made me smile a tad.

As you can see from the windowsill, there were two dead flies who seemed to have found themselves a permanent burial site as well.  That’s always a plus.  (I noticed this as I was eating my delectable breakfast, no less.)

Nobody that was there was happy to be there—or at least as you can tell from their faces they looked unhappy or grumpy.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, try a new little café in your part of town—even if only to give you the knowledge of how great or not it is.  Maybe you can save a friend from a similar fate.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Not every little café/diner that someone else thinks is over-the-top fantastic is going to be that way to you.

I Found A New Little Diner!

Breakfast at the diner

Biscuit & Gravy, Pancake with maple syrup and butter, Breakfast Sandwich made with scrambled eggs, ham, and melted cheese served on a croissant with a side of potatoes and fruit.

Oh, my word!!!  I’m in LOVE with this new diner I discovered a few minutes north of me.  A friend of mine turned me on to it a while back, but I just decided to drive out there and try it out for the first time this morning.

Let me tell you—there was a CROWD of peeps out there!  They open at 7:00am but I got there at 9:00am and the place was entirely full with people sitting outside the diner waiting for their names to be called from the list.

I was about 7 names down, but was told it’d only be about a 10-minute wait.  So no worries from me.  We didn’t mind waiting.

The huge portions they give you are utterly amazing.  I loved every minute of it.  I wish they were closer to me, but it was SO worth the trip.

Diner

They close at 2:00pm every day though—which is super early.  Probably a good thing for me or I’d be alternating between both the other diner I frequent and this one every day after work.

Cinnamon Roll

This is the Cinnamon Roll topped with icing that I took home to-go and warmed in the microwave.  This was SO deliciously good.  Big ups to the kitchen for making these bad boys!  Ahh!  It totally hit the spot.  They’re not as big as the ones from my other diner, but they rock nonetheless.

Oh, how I just love little out-of-the-way diners!  So homey.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, search out a new diner in your town that you’ve never tried out before and make yourself right at home.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Always try a small hometown diner first over a big chain restaurant.  You’ll more than likely get bigger portions of food along with some fabulous home cookin’ in a homey-type atmosphere.
