That's because when you pull into the shopping plaza.....you don't see it. But if you circle around to the right, you'll see it on the side of the strip mall's buildings. And trust me, this spot is definitely worth hunting down to experience a standout breakfast or lunch. We walked in a little before 1:00 yesterday and found a table for two in the back left corner of the dining room, so we had a good view of the entire room. I have to tell ya, the place was packed! Breakaway closes at 3:00 every day except Sunday (2:00), and there were breakfast and lunch menus out, plus a few daily specials. My wife went with a "William's Ham Panini" ($17) with thin sliced ham, bacon, caramelized onions, cheddar and honey mustard on a grilled panini. We both were struck at how much ham was piled onto her sandwich. She had a few choices for a side dish and put her nickel down on potato salad. I went with The JT Salad ($16). The menu says it's been their "best-selling salad 25 years and counting". It was a big portion of mixed greens served with house balsamic dressing, grape tomatoes, gorgonzola cheese, and grilled chunks of teriyaki glazed chicken breast. It was stellar, with plenty of that yummy cheese and chicken. The only sour note with our lunch was a rather steep $4.25 for a glass of iced tea that was half-filled with ice. The food was very good and a decent amount of leftovers came home with us for another day. I was unexpectedly impressed by how crowded Bistro was on a random Monday. I bet you'll be too.

Absolutely everything I have ever had has been so good, my friends all agree. We love Bruno's! They switch up their specials - monthly, I believe. Follow them on Instagram! They have multiple locations as well. Specials: Nova's Nutella Latte - with oat milk* Nutella latte topped with cocoa powder Things on the menu that I've had and loved: The Doodle: Sausage, Bacon, Hash Brown, Egg, Cheddar Cheese & Hot Honey on a Bagel The French Riviera Egg, Goat Cheese, Avocado, Arugula, Balsamic Glaze, Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Kalamata Olives on an Il Filone Baguette Di Parma Panini Prosciutto di Parma, Arugula, Goat Cheese, Balsamic Glaze & Apple on an Il Filone Baguette Breky Burrito (Breakfast burrito) 3 Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Cherry Peppers, Hash Brown, Sriracha Aioli & Cheddar Cheese on a Spinach Wrap Bruno's Bite (avocado toast, one of the 6 avotoast options on the menu) Egg, Avocado, Hot Honey, Feta & Chili Flakes The Ville Turkey, Avocado, Bacon, Tomato, Arugula & Sriracha Aioli on Sourdough They have a huge selection of fresh pastries that always look and smell stunning!! Let's talk service! They are always warm and welcoming. Attentive, friendly, patient, accurate and professional! We love that! My daughter nearly learned how to walk here. (She took laps up and down and outside holding my friends' hands... learned how to take her steps without assistance the very next day. If that isn't testimonial enough, Bruno's will always hold a special place in my heart. Also my friends get upset if they find out I went to Bruno's without them ("YOU WENT TO BRUNO's WITHOUT ME?!") Which of course I would not ever do. I always recommend people check out this spot and they always come back grateful and excited to return.

I've heard so much about Bruno's Cafe. I tried going here a few months ago, but they were closed…read morefor renovations. Although a scenic drive to Bruno's, it is completely out of the way for me, but I wanted to try them. This cafe is small, and very busy. They have some seating options, but all the seats were taken. They did have some tables and chairs outside, and it was a pleasant day to sit outside. Their milk is sourced from Arethusa Farms, one of the best, if not THE BEST local dairy resources. Their menu is large with coffee, tea, refreshers, including pastries, breakfast and lunch options. On this trip we got coffees. I got Nova's Nutella Latte, the others got a mocha and Kiwi, Mint & Lemongrass refresher. These were all very pricey, I was a bit taken aback. Each drink was between $9.00 and $10.00. Maybe it's because of the locally sourced milk, I can't think of another reason. My Nutella Latte was very chocholatey and very tasty, but my cup was also filled with ice all the way to the top. The refresher was very sweet, but a unique combo of flavors and pretty refreshing. The mocha was solid. Overall, maybe I got the wrong things at Bruno's, but I can't say I was super impressed, especially at such a high cost.

On our first visit we ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and Wild Turkey. The service was so good, all of the guys behind the deli made sure everyone was promptly assisted. When I lifted the bag of our 2 sandwiches, it was as heavy as a brick!! The sandwiches were so big we split one for lunch and one for dinner. The winner was the pulled pork, but we loved the turkey too. We returned a couple of days later for another pulled pork sandwich and I also ordered a giant dill pickle I saw on the counter. This place also has a huge selection of raw meats and prepared foods and a bunch of random local goodies and sauces to try. Again, I wish I took a picture of my sandwich, but I forgot about the existence of my phone while I was enjoying it :)

I ordered a sandwich that came with pepper jack cheese and a chunky tomato spread, which I asked for on the side. The spread had a familiar taste, similar to salsa. The sandwich was supposed to come with bacon, but it was accidentally left off. Once I mentioned it, they brought it out on the side. I also ordered pancakes and added cream cheese and strawberries. The pancakes were just okay. nothing special, but not bad either. I enjoy trying different local spots whenever I'm in the area, so I always go in excited for the experience. Overall, this visit was decent. It was a little difficult finding this location at first, but there is a directory in the plaza that helps guide you to what you're looking for.

These days it's hard to find a cafe that isn't overpriced and better than just average. But Toasted Oat hits the high points of quality of cook on the food, even if the ingredients may not all be top notch. They have breakfast sandwiches, bowls and scrambles, as well as regular sandwiches, salads and burritos. We enjoyed the regular breakfast sandwich with spinach and cheese (subbed the meat but wish the spinach had been cooked in - $7) and the breakfast scramble which included 2 eggs, 3 veggies, cheese, protein all mixed/cut up together, as well as hash brown (didn't exactly look homemade?) and toast ($11). Everything was served in to-go containers so the looks weren't the best but makes sense given the place and that most people probably don't dine in. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Everything takes time to come out so you know it's done to order. They also have some coffee and tea. They had a few coffee cake items in a glass display but didn't look homemade either. It feels like a cafe should have more selection of pastries but again bother me. Service was friendly and patient. The actual location isn't that great visually either. There is one longer table and a few smaller ones, but it's not a big place and not decorated to impress (fine by me!) It is located in a small nondescript plaza with an Indian market. Small parking lot. Wish this small business well!

We went in today and got a butternut bisque, a chili, and an Italian wedding soup and are excited to have them for dinner over the weekend (ETA: The chili wasn't our favorite, but the Italian Wedding was very good and the butternut bisque was fantastic). They also have jams, honey, bread and little snacks. We tried the homemade strawberry jam and it's lovely. On Tuesdays, the soups are two for one (I believe this is every Tuesday, but maybe it was just on the Tuesday I happened to be there), which is a great deal. I have a feeling this place will be in our weekly rotation once the fall weather kicks in.

Here were tonight's entrees: Mac and Cheese $12 Chicken Dijon $14 Swedish Meatballs and Noodles $16 Panko Chicken $12 BBQ Pulled Pork with French Fries and a roll $18 Eggplant Lasagna $14 They had one appetizer tonight -a dozen sausage stuffed mushrooms for $16. They had a slew of $5 side dishes like vegetable quinoa, pasta salad, tuna mac, roast carrots, etc. And how can we forget dessert? I saw some cupcakes and macaroons. There were two very pleasant young folks behind the counter who took my order and placed my entrée and a bag of six macaroons ($5) inside a complimentary tote bag. They asked me to check out the freebies on a table on the way out, so I helped myself to a pen, a pad and a book of matches. The Eggplant Lasagna was plenty big for us to split. It had a nice blanket of mozzarella on top with lots of thinly sliced breaded eggplant, creamy ricotta, and sauce. It was very good, but I think it could have used a bit more sauce. And those macaroons? OUTSTANDING!! Very moist, very soft, very coconutty. The Bee's Knees provided us with very good quality food, a generous quantity for $14, and all things considered an excellent value.
