Brunch at Milk and Honey Cafe

My friend Kinh and I went out for brunch this morning at Milk and Honey Cafe. She promised me that I'll like the place. We decided we definitely needed some Mimosas to go with our brunch orders. Nothing like champagne and orange juice to start off a Sunday. I ordered the Orange Brioche French Toast with Almonds and Pure Maple Syrup. Very soft and fluffy on the inside. The crunchy almonds gave it a good added texture and flavor. I really didn't taste the orange but Kinh looked at me like I was crazy for not being able to taste it.

Kinh ordered the Huevos Rancheros "Casserole Style" which they only serve on weekends. This was very hearty and tasty. It doesn't look that big but it's very filling. It's a very clever idea to make this classic dish into a casserole.

Kinh was right. I really did like this place. The decor is very charming and cute. I'm definitely going back there to try out the lunch menu. The sandwiches looked so good!

After brunch, we did some intense shopping stopping at some shoe stores, Benetton and Ann Taylor. I think I got a little carried away but I'm telling myself that all of my purchases were practical and I'll get good use out of each thing I bought. Only time will tell...

I didn't make anything for dinner but Zack went out and bought French bread and Italian sausage. He made a quick pasta with Barilla tomato sauce and sauted sausage along with some garlic toasted bread. Yummy!
