We stopped at Girasol for a unique take on breakfast. We found some good ones. The Santa Fe Eggs…read moreBenedict w/ Jalapeno candied bacon and the Brioche bread French toast were excellent choices. The Eggs Benedict was a large green chili biscuit cut into 4 pieces, toasted, w/ fried egg on top, topped with Hollanise sauce and candied Jalapeno bacon. A little spice but not too much. The French toast was 2 large slices of Brioche bread, soaked in cream & a hint of cinnamon grilled on a flattop grill. Served w/ maple syrup, eggs & (bacon). It was the lightest FT I ever had. Coffee was a nice, medium blend. Service was good and quick. There's a patio outside if you get there before the temps hit 99°, otherwise there are 2 and 4 top tables inside. Lunch is Served also.

Very tasty and well proportioned. Secondly, I'd say off the breakfast menu the biscuits and jalapeño bacon. I opted for a few eggs and a sausage patty for the review of course. For a local yokel establishment it was great for lunch and alright for breakfast. A bit high on the breakfast at $24.00. And to boot they were going to throw a glass of milk out that a patron did not want and I said I'd take it vs throwing it away lol still charged me the $4 for a glass of milk that was about to go down the drain.

Located…read morenear the Medi Park area was Strata Coffee Bar, a catch all spot that functions as a coffee shop, bar, and brunch location. When I walked in, the place was absolutely packed with TTUHSC or TTU Vet Med students who were celebrating finishing their final classes for the year. It was quite busy with a large line in front of me, and since I was staying for a while, I was not in a rush. I ordered a lavender latte, and after waiting just over 15 minutes behind the gaggle of people who ordered before me, my hot beverage was ready. I really liked the cup they served it in. It had a cute mountain gradient with their logo on top. The coffee itself was pretty good. It was not anything groundbreaking, but I enjoyed it for what it was. Having to briefly hop on a call with my boss, I went out to their small outdoor patio and took the call. It was also a pretty decent spot for getting some work done. They serve a ton of different options, and it is probably a popular stop for people in the surrounding medical district to get a quick coffee boost. There were also plenty of people drinking beers and mimosas when I came in, celebrating their semester coming to a close at 9:30 in the morning, so good for them. You love a catch all spot.

I got a cappuccino and savory colache and my friend had a latte and slice of quiche. Everything was wonderful! I got the set up with the cappuccino, that came with some sparkling water and two dark chocolate covered açai berries.

If you need a coffee I definitely recommend this place! Also, there is an open air porch situation where you can bring your pets. There's also plenty of seating both in front of the coffee bar and behind where you can sit on a couch or bar and write your book. There are many outlets and it is cozy and intended for working individuals.

We got the pimento sandwich and Philly, both sandwiches were good, fresh and came with some good house chips. I will note that it's a little hard to find, but if you enter the main doors on Taylor st, there is set of stairs that takes you down to their entrance. Super worth it!

The food was absolutely fantastic. If you know anything about wine, which I don't, but I was…read moresitting at a table with people who do, this place has a crazy wine list with fine wines that are far cheaper than anywhere else that you might go. The decor is not bad, but it is definitely one of those restaurants that looks like they decided to keep the wood paneling from the 1980s up because, well, it's still fine, right? It's not a complaint, it's a look. But you didn't go there to ogle the wood paneling. You're there to eat, and the excellent service is there to help you do exactly that. The quality of the appetizers and steaks, I would put on the same level as Peter Luger: solid, consistent, well-executed. There's a reason that everybody in town tells you that if you want a great steak, you go here. Quality is something that's hard to fake, and these guys do a great job.

I always find it interesting how many medium sized cities have a localized coffee chain that is so deeply rooted in the community. In Round Rock, it is Lamppost. In Amarillo, it is Roasters. There are quite a few Roasters locations in Amarillo, but the true OG is located off Georgia Street. I got there around 8:30 in the morning and it was capital B busy. Every table except one was occupied and the drive thru was wrapping around the building. By the time I got inside, I only had a short wait before ordering. I ordered a simple vanilla latte with oat milk in a medium size, along with a pumpkin spice muffin. For how busy it was, I was expecting to wait a while, but they churned drinks out pretty quickly. The barista even signaled to me to come grab the drinks for my girlfriend and me because I did not believe they had been made that fast. The coffee itself was pretty good. It leans on the sweeter side and is more focused on flavor than being espresso forward. It is clear why this place is such a staple in Amarillo. I also really liked that they had coffee sleeves that looked like Christmas sweaters and flannels for the season. It was a cute touch. It is a cute space and feels pretty traditional. One random thing I noticed was the pictures of Ronald Reagan on the walls. I do not know the reason or if it is some sort of long running joke, but it exists, along with books about Reagan scattered around the shop. There is only one single use bathroom, so on a busy morning it can take a bit if you need to use it. Every day, Roasters offers a coffee of the day on drip. I went to another location later in the week and tried it there as well, and it was good too. I think Roasters is a great option for coffee in the area and proves why it has been a staple for Amarillo residents since the 1990s. Regardless of the Reaganomics for whatever reason, Roasters can trickle down some coffee. RIYL: coffee and pictures of Ronald Reagan
