Anyways, on to the breakfast. They had it all individually - the baked beans on toast, bread and toast, fruits and cream, eggs - sunny side up, omelets and pancakes. I wanted to go for the package deal and looked for the non-vegetarian breakfast - it had baked beans on toast, freshly cut fruits and cream, choice of juice, eggs the way I want it, tea and.... that's it... I read it again and then realized that the non-veggie element here was the eggs. Never mind, I thought, let me order my sausages on the side. But.... they didn't have the chicken sausages mentioned on their menu (which BTW is the only meat option). Now that we were there we just decided to go on. 

A while later the first on my breakfast came - the baked beans on toast. They were lined up all pretty one on top of the other. What ended up happening was that the gravy of the beans soaked through all the slices and made for very messy eating. A few minutes later, the fresh cut fruits and the cream came. Next came the orange juice, which thankfully was freshly squeezed. Then came my bullseye. Below are shots of my breakfast.

Sudhakar ordered eggs on toast and Anoushka pancakes and honey. Can't really go wrong with bread and eggs. The pancakes must not have had baking powder in it as they had not risen and were pretty flat. More like a set dosa plate. 

We had to ask for the tea that was part of my deal and a coffee for Sudhakar. The tea was hot water and milk with a tea bag thrown in. Just one look and I bolted without touching it. 

Service is laidback to the point of being irritating - no cutlery till you ask for it, no water till you ask for it, parts of breakfast coming in the wrong order and having to ask for elements of your meal can be painful on a Sunday morning. This "non-veggie" breakfast came at Rs 125 which is really steep for nothing. Isys, a short haul away has a buffet breakfast with 4 non-veg options for Rs 110 and everything there is worth the money. The meal here came to around Rs 500. Not worth the money and a sad waste of a good environment.

We went on a full house day - Sunday, at almost peak hours of 9.45 AM. We had to wait a while to be seated and were given a nice corner stone bench with cushions to the left of the cafe's entrance. We can understand how it is on a Sunday morning when you have hordes coming in for breakfast and so found the ordering part a little amusing. We were given the order pad and asked to write down our orders. Cute, we thought since we knew what we wanted from the specials board. But we had no clue about the beverages we could have and that's when it struck our man who handed us the pad, that he hadn't given us the menu yet. Anyways, it was amusing for a Sunday morning. 

We ordered two rounds of the complete English breakfast and some pancakes for Anoushka. Service didn't take too long considering how full the place was. The breakfasts came with two king size sausages, a thick slice of ham, sauteed mushrooms, blanched spinach, baked beans and an egg - sunny side up. This along with two thick slices of white bread and butter. All good and put together a filling breakfast.

Anoushka's pancakes were soft and fluffy and thankfully junior ate them all up. But would have preferred it with the maple syrup rather than honey. I had a banana smoothie which was thick and nice and perfect top up to my breakfast. Sudhakar opted for good old coffee.

Overall a nice place for breakfast if you are ready to wait a while and if the kids are not ravenously hungry. It tends to get comfortable here and so getting to your table can take a while with others lounging about. But you will not think much about it once the food is placed before you. Also what I liked about this place was the personal touch from Lynn, the owner of the place. You will see her serving up meals, ensuring you are comfortably seated and asking you if you need anything more. This meal came to around Rs 400 and a little more. The loo is all the way at the back of the restaurant and could do with some sprucing up.
