I also ordered a latte, which came in a huge bowl. This was the perfect drink for a chilly fall morning.
I will admit that I scooped all of the skim milk foam from the top. I should start ordering cappuccinos because I think I like the foam as much as the coffee but I can’t bear having so little coffee! One nice touch, is that the coffee came with two animal crackers. I will admit I love touches like this!
Because of the holiday the restaurant was packed, and so our service was slooooow. However, since I hadn’t seen my friend in ages, it was great to be able to sit down and chat and not feel rushed out of there.
I was pretty far into my coffee by the time the pancakes came. I received three huge pancakes sprinkled with some powdered sugar.
I did use some butter and syrup, because, well, everything in moderation, right?
Overall it was a delicious and not terribly heavy breakfast. Plus, with the great company of my friend it was a great way to start off our labor day of eating! Our next stop was a picnic at a friend's and then dinner at another restaurant. I had to pace myself so I did not finish the pancakes. Although I drank every sip of the coffee!
