Connie is the sweetest woman ever. She always says hi when you enter, and always knows what I want. For breakfast: Bacon breakfast burrito and a mocha. I don’t know what it is, it’s just eggs, cheese and bacon, but boy do I love that burrito. The mocha isn’t anything special. But $2.75 for a double shot 12 oz mocha really can’t be beat. The Croissant sandwiches are really good too, but lately I just can’t say no to the breakfast burritos. Lunch: -I love the chicken and wild rice soup she has on Monday’s. $3 for a filling 12 oz bowl of soup is really a great deal, that doesn’t leave me in a food coma for the rest of the day. -French Dip sandwich. I love French Dip sandwiches, and sadly, I doubt I have found any better in the area, especially for the price, which includes some surprisingly good potato salad. -The Zesty:Roast beef, bacon, cheddar cheese and mayo on toasted bread. So Tasty. -The Reuben. I know, it’s at a Deli in Bellevue made by a Korean woman, but it’s surprisingly good and consistent. Dessert: I Love, love, love the giant chocolate chip cookies. She always remembers little things about my orders too. No Salsa for my burrito. No mustard on my sandwiches. They turn out the food very quickly, even when they are busy. Get there early though, or else the daily hot special or the soup may be gone after 1pm. I’m personally not a fan of the teriyaki special, but the mac n cheese is good, and there is bimbibap, lasagna, chicken pot pie, etc. The only down side is that she charges .50 cents for credit cards for orders under $5. I understand, but it often deters me from getting a mocha in the morning, or soup for lunch, because I never have cash.

The Rooster’s Call – Menu with Prices – 6050 Gull Rd, Kalamazoo

Normally I make my breakfast at home or have a cereal bar. But today some friends wanted us to go out for breakfast. They’ve drive this location many times and wanted to try. So I got to go with them and try it out. As you can tell by the pictures it’s really cute inside. You’re given menus quickly as well. Drink orders are taken first and then you have plenty of time to look at the menu. They serve both breakfast and lunch, so just in case you’re feeling a waffle, or burger. We got a bunch of stuff just to try everything out. Eggs, bacon, and potatoes! I had to be extra since I was really hungry. I got a chocolate banana French toast, egg and bacon on the side, and a club wrap with fries. The French toast was ok, it felt like the chocolate was more bitter like dark chocolate, but it looked milky. The banana saved it though and gave it an even sweetness. As for the club that I also had. I really felt like it was lacking something and I feel like that something was cheese. I’m not really sure if it had cheese on it or it doesn’t come with it. But it certainly needs a cheese to balance out all the meat. Still very good though, best wrap I’ve had in a while! I really wish I got sunny-side up eggs. I got scrambled eggs and no matter where, my scrambled eggs taste like they came from a box. Heartbreaking. But the bacon, is just so bacon, and I LOVE bacon!

Howard’s Donuts – Menu with Prices – 2666 Foothill Blvd, San Bernardino

Great donuts and sandwich shop. Been coming here for years, but decided to do a review on here. Their food is excellent. I always orders the philly cheesesteak,and their pastrami sandwich, but lately I’ve seen that they got a new menu too. I was there early one day and I noticed that people started to order their breakfast burrito, I figured that all their food are good and I was in the mood to try something new. So I opted to order the breakfast burrito, which come with harsh brown, eggs, cheese, and the choice of meats, including bacon, sausage, or ham. I chose to order the one with bacon and sausages. I’ll tell you that it really hit the spot!! It was big enough to satisfied my breakfast craving. Sure this place is not located in the best part of town, but than again this is San Bernardino, and the food and the service there was worth going in and they have many loyal customers just like myself.

Turn 3 Chicken & Waffles – Menu with Prices – 414 Dorman St, Indianapolis

When I heard that Flat 12 Brewing had a new restaurant open in their building, I made a point of heading downtown to check it out. Turn 3 Chicken & Waffles is only in its 3rd week as of the time of my visit, so it has a somewhat limited menu of breakfast items that are served all day during the same hours as the brewery. Although the restaurant has its own space on the rear left as you enter, you can order food at the Flat 12 bar which has the menu. Your bartender/server can place the food order for you. (Note that the food you order is placed on the same bill as your beer orders from Flat 12, so you don’t have to worry about fishing out your credit card twice!) The four food options available are: Chicken & Waffles, Breakfast Burrito, Breakfast Scramble, and Breakfast Pizza. Within the last three options, you get your choice of meats: ham, bacon, or chorizo. You can also get Sriracha sauce if you need a bit more heat. I ordered the Breakfast Burrito that comes with sides of tortilla chips, salsa, and cheese sauce. The burrito was huge and filled with things like diced potatoes, scrambled eggs, pepper and red onion, jalapeno, and cheese. The burrito is served without any toppings on it, but you could use some of the salsa or cheese sauce. The chef said he was looking into viable options to offer a “dressed” version of the burrito as opposed to the current hand held version. (If you need silverware, just let them know and they will bring it for you.) And the taste? Wonderful! I’m a breakfast lover anyway, so this option of a hearty breakfast meal really went well with me. And I liked how it paired with the flight of beer I had as well. No weird side tastes, just good beer and a tasty burrito. Hopefully, as more customers start checking out their food, the restaurant will add some of the best suggestions to meet their needs. For now, they are off to a good start. Review #2541

Siro’s Bistro – Menu with Prices – 112 Arnould Blvd, Lafayette

In town for a few days and wanted to spread some love to the local fare. As a big French onion soup fan I read a couple of reviews saying it was good. While it’s a very small step from greatness I have to agree the French onion soup was delicious. Excellent flavor, just the right amount of saltiness, not too many onions, and the crouton was just the right thickness and didn’t take up half the bowl. The only thing I would do to make it absolutely incredible is serve it in a crock, top it with more cheese, and bake it just long enough to brown the cheese. It’s served in a styrofoam cup so baking isn’t actually an option. Maybe do it that way for to-go orders but serve it up right for diners eating in. On to the sandwiches. What s wonderful surprise. Delicious. Bread was amazing. Turkey and ham were probably the best I’ve ever had in a deli sandwich. And there’s no frugality on the meat portions! Subway could learn a thing or two about making sandwiches from this guy! I had the club and I can’t wait to have another. The owners were extremely friendly and everything we had was top notch. Even got to top it all off with an Abita Amber. So glad we tried this place day one so we can go back versus day four and not have the chance. Delicious lunch. Makes the favorites list hands down!

Center Cafe – Menu with Prices – 2677 N Main St, Santa Ana

Can this lady be any sweeter? I mean c’mon!! I even had a co-worker say “that lady downstairs is too friendly for this early in the morning”… he was joking of course. She is a sweetheart! They do not have a fryer or a grill, just basically a “George Forman” type of thing… but it works! Bacon is still crispy, eggs are not runny, sandwiches are melty. They work their magic with what they’ve got back there. I love the Coach’s Pick; turkey, avocado, bacon, tomato, and Swiss cheese all melted in a long bun. Filling! Bacon and Cheese Quesadilla (no sour cream, no salsa for me), such a yummy treat! Bacon & Egg Breakfast Burrito (again, no sour cream, no salsa for me); this comes with a crispy hashbrown pattie, eggs, cheese, bacon, all rolled into a tight burrito and then, for the perfect touch, they Panini grill the outside for a nice crispiness. One of the best breakfast burritos I’ve had! Wide variety of salads, soups of the day, fruit smoothies and specialty coffees. There are daily specials to tempt you too! Besides all the yumminess on the menu, there are grab-and-go items such as chips, cookies, ramen, oatmeal, juices, sodas, first aid items. Located in the bottom floor of the Main Street Town Center and only open until 4:00 pm. Indoor seating and a few outdoor seats as well. The building has a nice courtyard seating area you can also enjoy. Thank you and cheers!!!

Criminal Baking Co. – Menu with Prices – 808 Donahue St, Santa Rosa

I want to give five stars for the breakfast burrito but there is only one piece of bacon that you have to pay extra for. To be honest I’m not sure if there is really actually one whole piece of bacon in there. Definitely need some patience when ordering here. About 30 minutes from when he walked in the door stood in line for 10 min, and took about 20 minutes for them to make the two burritos there is one order in front of us they ordered two sandwiches so definitely on the slower side. But I think it’s worth the wait. The burrito was great, All fresh ingredients. It came out piping hot and very tasty. I’d order again in a heartbeat. We ordered the bacon apple scone while we are waiting because we are hungry after a three hour hike and they were pretty skimpy on the bacon on the scone too. But again the scone was fantastic with flavor! I would definitely revisit(there was construction across the street jackhammering the whole time) I shut the door and they re-opened it so it is what it is it was very loud the whole visit but no control over that.

Ark Gourmet Deli – Menu with Prices – 1186 Raymond Blvd, Newark

I have been coming here for years! When they used to be in Halsey street and then moved to Raymond Blvd. This is my breakfast go to place. My lunch go to place. They close at four so I mainly go for the breakfast platters. I love their breakfast sandwiches (with cheese on both sides of the bun) and their turkey club sandwiches are also my favorite. Their fries are cooked how you want them and I like the selection of chips.

Michele’s Cafe – Menu with Prices – 1373 Clinton St, Buffalo

Great little diner, clean, homey retro vibe, reasonablely priced, servers were on point, Michele the owner was on the grill cooking & directing! We ordered breakfast, portions were hearty – french toast, bacon, eggs, grits, breakfast sandwich, real homefries, coffee – all served hot and fresh with a smile. They even have chicken & waffles (next time). They have a small “bake shop” that rumor has it is a lil slice of heaven, wasn’t available this am but one of the items is grilled pound cake! Lunch specials include Meatloaf sandwich, subs, Chicken Cordon Bleu sandwich, soups – can’t wait to get back and try some lunch eats! My only criticism was the maple syrup, for some reason it was ice cold & chilled the french toast, I even tried pouring it on the plate first to get to room temp but I’d already covered most of the french toast with the cold syrup – kind of disappointing as it actually made the french toast cold, french toast had good flavor though, I’ll just check the syrup bottle next time, ask to have it microwaved or something .. lol. We will be going back!

Eastside Bagel – Menu with Prices – 8 Line St D, Charleston

Tried a variety of the bagel sandwiches, and boy, did they prove to be excellent bagels! They are definitely the most legit I have found in South Carolina. The sandwiches were loaded with delicious toppings and each deserves individual attention: The Screech Powers (fried bologna, scrambled egg, and American cheese on a plain bagel): Quite possibly the most perfect breakfast sandwich ever. Salty and well-fried, yum! The Hamover Street (ham, Provolone cheese, lettuce, house mayo or mustard on a plain bagel): Piles of sweet delicious ham. Hot lettuce is yucky and I had to remove it. The Ginger Grant (turkey, bacon, cream cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a sundried tomato bagel): surprisingly kind of bland. Bacon flavor overpowered the subtle turkey and cream cheese. Hot lettuce again was yucky. Will remember to ask for none next time. The Eastside Book Club (turkey, ham, bacon, Cheddar, Dijonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and red onion on an everything bagel): the everything bagel was too much, and overwhelmed all of the flavors but the bacon. I would ask for this one on plain, and no lettuce. The World Traveller (sausage, scrambled egg, bacon jam, Cheddar, and red onion on an everything bagel): a true taste sensation. This bagel has everything! Might be the best of all. Craveable for sure. The most delicious, authentic bagels you will find! This is definitely a place I will order from again. I only wish they delivered to Goose Creek LOL

The Village Luncheonette – Menu with Prices – 2374 McDonald Ave, Brooklyn

I used I love this place. USED TO. Now that this place has gotten too busy for its customers, the slacking is showing. Besides the declining customer service, the food has gotten bad too. The past few orders have been very disappointing. They have a “breakfast bowl” that comes with eggs, your choice of meat and cheese and home fries. The last time I ordered it, it came with French fries; without them even bothering to call to say that they “run out” of home fries on Saturdays (which is what someone literally just told me on the phone not 5 mins ago) and they don’t bother to make more. How about take that item off of your menu then??? Who the hell wants French fries when you’re expecting home fries? Besides that, they’ve sent burnt bacon, iced coffee spilled in the bag, delivery people with attitudes. It’s very sad because this place was great when we first started ordering from them. We would order every Saturday for breakfast and never once had an issue. The funniest was when I made a complaint and they had the delivery guy ask me why I complained. Really?? So the owner or manager is too much of a coward to ask themselves?? Sorry, but you LOST a very good customer.

Heart and Soul Coffee – Menu with Prices – 930 11th St, Modesto

Little brother wanted some coffee after having lunch. He recommended this place that is downtown. The ambiance was cool. Love the open space. I ordered a hot mocha and my brother ordered a different drink. Think it had the name of lumberjack latte but I could be wrong. The drinks were made fast but one issue. The girl made me an iced mocha and not a hot mocha. Oh well let’s run with it right. I’m actually glad I did. This iced mocha was good. Just the perfect amount of sweetness. If I had to do it all over, I would Order a non fat iced mocha. In the end, the screw up turned out to be a blessing. Thanks for the great iced mocha.

Central City Market Menu with Prices 405 Linden St, Allentown

Breakfast. If you want a simple bacon egg and cheese, this is the spot. It starts with a fresh cracked egg paired with Boar’s Head cheese and bacon. Breakfast places should take note on this simple but excellent deli, eggs should be cracked fresh, cheese melted to keep the bacon in place for every bite, and bread should be simple, kaiser or white(toasted). On top of that it is a bodega with an assortment of drinks and snacks. I can’t stop there, let’s talk customer service. I made it known to the cook, that this was hands down my favorite place for a quick breakfast bite. He was intrigued by my awareness of how he made the sandwich and he continued with the comparisons of the other area breakfast places. But at the end of all of this, I find that he was the owner and operator, nonchalantly speaking to every customer with respect and comfort. I’d like to thank him for creating a comforting environment for customers, as well as producing great simplistic breakfast sandwiches.
