Monday's Lunch with BB ($53.90)!
Cafe brunch date with BB. Big breakfast plate (scrambled eggs, sausage, avocado toast, mushrooms), burger and fries, latte art.
A proper Monday brunch with BB. $53.90 for the meal. ππππΌ
What was on the table:
- Big breakfast plate: soft scrambled eggs (proper buttery texture), grilled sausage, sourdough toast with smashed avocado spread, halved cherry tomatoes, sautΓ©ed mushrooms
- Cafe burger with fries: beef patty in a brown brioche-style bun, served in a wire basket with shoestring fries on the side
- Cup of dipping sauce (looks like a cheddar-mustard or curry-mayo blend) for the fries
- Latte with art: dark roast, intricate poured design (looks like a rosetta-and-tulip combination)
- A bonus shot of the two of us by what looks like the cafeβs Christmas tree, the holiday setup is already up
Monday lunches like these are the weekday-date reset that breaks the routine. Most weeks default to grab-and-go convenience, so taking a deliberate sit-down brunch in the middle of the work week feels like a small treat.
The brunch picks here are the classic Western cafe big-breakfast format:
- Scrambled eggs done soft: the cafe-standard test, anything cooked dry fails
- Sausage component: usually a German-style bratwurst or breakfast pork sausage
- Avocado on toast: smashed not sliced, lemon juice and salt as the only seasoning
- Wilted greens or sautΓ©ed mushrooms: the moisture component
- Sourdough or country bread: not the white square slice, the rustic crust
The burger looked like a proper cafe burger format. Brioche-style bun, seared beef patty, the wire-basket fries presentation that signals βwe plate our food deliberately.β
Pricing-wise, $53.90 for two at a sit-down cafe brunch with coffee included is solid 2022 value. Cafe brunches generally run $30 per pax in the central districts. Getting it under $27 each with all the photogenic plating felt fair.
Overall: 4.2 / 5. πππΌ Solid Monday brunch reset with BB. The eggs nailed it. Would re-visit.
