Live review!
Starting at 5 stars, we'll see how it goes.
Walking in, it is a very well lit, welcoming space. Simple decor, warm wood tables and accent wall, and a really neat wooden cactus tree thingy! And a little industrial touch, by leaving exposed brick and what looks to be some bay doors in place from the building maybe being an old garage or auto service place. And a soft folksy music channel to set the tone. I like the vibe for sure.
We were greeted with a smile and some friendly conversation. And the server, Julisa, had some water and coffee on the table in no time. Julisa was also knowledgeable about the menu and had good suggestions for the wife. I didn't need them since when I review a place that claims to be a cafe, I always get the hash--which I was assured is prepared with corned beef made from scratch! And you know I ordered the biscuits!
So far, no reason whatsoever to lower the stars.
Coffee is really good, btw. Nice medium roast, not bitter at all.
Okay, let's talk food... crazy good! Seriously, I have zero bad to say, except maybe about a personal preference but this is hardly the chef's fault--I like my hash with a little sautéed peppers and onions. Besides this, the hash is made simple, from a delicious, perfectly cured, pulled corned beef, and some simple seasoned potatoes. An over easy egg on top of that, what more could you want... peppers and onions? lol. I ordered my hash with fresh fruit, since the hash has potatoes, and the fruit was indeed fresh, sweet, and delicious.
The wife is having the avocado hollandaise, which is everything you would expect it to be, not to mention looking amazing before she dug into it--I need to start taking more pictures for these reviews, lol. The sauce was light and heavenly, and the eggs are poached to perfection.
Still at 5 stars for sure! And we are rounding the end here... oh, I forgot the biscuits you say?
Well, they have earned the right to call themselves the "Biscuits Cafe" for sure. So light. So buttery. Sooooo... had to fight my wife off a second ago as she keeps trying to eat them!! They are also a beautiful golden brown on the top, giving them a wonderful... and my wife just spilled her drink all over me!! Seriously, Diet Coke, all over me just now, lol. Good times. Anyway, the biscuits were insane, and they came with some scratch made strawberry jam!
Side note, Julisa was back with adequate amount of paper towels and a wet rag in a flash to help clean up the Diet Coke, and told us an amusing story of her first spill on a customer while doing so -- which to us, sounded like it wasn't even her fault. Julisa, the wife and I feel that you rock!
If you are in Peoria, AZ, you need to check this place out for breakfast or brunch. That's a wrap! read more
