From page 19 biscuits ’n’ gravy; a surprisingly unique pancake; and not-your-average omelets make for a great way to start a successful day. Once the sun sets on the week, the nourishment of the night emerges. Some of these evening experiences you might never have even heard of, such as “Night-Breakfast” and “Burger Night.” (You’ll have to read up on these and drool over them in a future article—there’s just too much to say about these once-a-month food affairs). Now I must confess that one of my favorite parts of this this place is the bounty o’ baked goods. Different almost every day and served no matter what time you stroll in, I swear they must have meetings dedicated to thinking up enticingly decadent treats to make me weak in the knees. Visions of warm bread pudding, perfectly sweet scones and doughnuts you won’t regret eating will dance in your head once you’ve tried them. And the flavor choices offered are absolutely original: ginger, green tea, cereal-milk, Vietnamese coffee and lime, just to name a few. I asked about just how guilty I should feel after having eaten almost every flavor of scone offered and they actually shared with me a bit of their secret-ingredient flavor witchcraft (bakecraft?). Unfortunately, I can't divulge the information to anyone without a Level 4 Coffee Clearance without having to kill them, but what I discovered is that each of the secret ingredient choices is representative of how the whole operation works. Coffee, food and atmosphere—each one is unique, simple and comes with no disguises. ■ Morning Glass Coffee + Café 2955 E.
