I passed by this little cafe so many times, assuming it was the typical frozen foods popped into a toaster or microwave, but this week I finally stopped...
I was SO wrong! I had breakfast and ordered a burrito bowl that came with REAL eggs, diced potatoes, turkey sausage and lightly sauteed spinach on the side. I watched through a window and saw a man COOKING it! Like on a stove! The food tasted great, the portion was just right, and the ladies working the front were so friendly, I spoke with them while waiting, which is when I learned that they make all their food and every week have different menu items. While most of the menu was American foods, they offered extensive choices, with several Thai and Korean foods/drinks. There were many coffee/latte/tea options, including fun things to add, which is how I ended up asking about 'grass jelly' that I had never heard of. The ladies told me all about the plant that is used to make it and how they have to buy the plant from overseas because it doesn't grow here, and make the jelly from scratch. It was sold out on this day so they had to explain to me how delicious the taste is and how it is actually full of nutrients.
I don't think I will ever be able to pass on by again without trying something new, and I would absolutely go out of my way to go here for a meal.
The cafe is just inside the main entrance and the only seating are the benches/tables in the lobby, but they send you off with sturdy containers to take food to go. Enjoy!
