Bread and Porridge
Bread and Porridge can always be counted on for two things -- delicious brunches and long waits. Going this weekend for the first time in awhile, we were pleasantly surprised. They've taken over the store next door and turned it into a coffee lounge. You can't eat there, but you can have coffee or juice and relax in deep leather couches and wide ottomans. A fantastic luxury for those of us used to the chilly wait on the street.On our arrival, we were told that the wait would be a half an hour, but were pleasantly surprised to find that it was only ten minutes. Once seated, we ordered coffee in french presses (now they also offer espresso drinks and drip coffee poured from the silver pots borne about by waiters.) We enjoyed cream of wheat (perfect for such a cloudy wet day) with strawberries (it always comes accompanied with raisins, steamed milk and a round topped dish of brown sugar) and fabulous bacon. We understand the eggs are great, always served with black beans and salsa and numbers of different combinations. They also have stellar pancakes and french toast, which you can get in half orders to avoid temptation!
At B&P, they serve lunch as well, with quite a combination of sandwiches (grilled chicken and BLTs being stars) and fresh salads, as well as a few unusual items, such as brisket and beef stew (though only during the week. We think.)
Bread and Porridge isn't open for dinner, but if they were, we imagine that it would be pretty great as well!
