mmm-yoso!!!, a food blog with random posts, is where you have landed. Kirk is vacationing with His Missus and Cathy is writing today.
An early morning wake up with differing cravings had The Mister and myself looking for breakfast away from home. We started driving South, took the Lemon Grove Avenue exit and saw the pretty painted building with an almost full parking lot and decided to stop. This has been Lemon Grove Cafe since 2012 and was a location of Antique Row Cafe prior to that. The writing on the wall says it all.
There is also and outdoor covered area as well as the comfortable indoor seating.
The breakfast menu is pretty extensive.
SeƱor Uno ($11.95) was The Mister's choice. A three egg omelette with sausage and cheese, the side of country fries were chosen (over hash browns) and were crisp with onion and bell peppers. The tasty breakfast sausages filled the large omelette, topped with plenty of cheese.
This came with a choice of toast, English muffin, biscuit or pancakes, and pancakes were what was craved. The cakes were quite thick/large and had a nicely crisp crust.
Once I saw the choice of chicken souvlaki with eggs it had to be ordered. Greek style breakfast-the savory craving would be satisfied. The over easy eggs were properly cooked. The grilled skewer/souvlaki style chicken had large pieces of flavorful dark meat. The tomatoes and Feta combined with the warm pita bread and tzatziki sauce helped make each bite memorable.
We will be returning for more meals at this family owned cafe.
