small town feel, BIG city taste

IA few weeks ago, a friend mentioned that there was a new addition to tallahassee. A place that was said to be one of a kind and that would leave you wanting to return over and over again. My goodness, the reviews are right. I drove to the parking lot after a quick conversation about breakfast and remembering that Adam said it existed. I was just about to pass it, most likely on our way to somewhere common, and decided why not try a new place. Skepticism arose as i saw the small space it occupied and the few people it held, but thought what the heck. The decor is a little lacking of of of anything, but I very much enjoyed the nice high dining room-like glazed wooden tables. There isn't that much mite to look at other than a counter for the register, the typical drink stations, part of the kitchen, and a wonderful view of parked cars overlooked by non-blooming trees. It is very clean though, and that gets more than a view anyday.

We looked over the 2 sided menu for what seemed like 30 minutes. They serve everything on the menu during all open hours, which is from 6am - 3om. We went for breakfast and that is what we ordered. By golly, it was some of the best breakfast I've had. Light, fluffy, perfectly fried beignets, cheese grits that must be from another world that specializes in them, eggs that were not cooked a second too little or too long, french bread that makes your tongue dance a little jig as a result of the soft, flaky, ridiculously buttery taste, and a perfect cup of joe to top it off.

I'm not sure if the pictures do these items justice, but know that I have found a little place of happiness in Tally and I intend to show my gratitude over and over again. Btw, everything is super cheap....grits, eggs, french bread, beignets, and coffee didn't even hit 10 bucks.

Be sure to look forward to the waitresses that have inherited the name Angelette in Angelette's cajun cafe. They are very nice, some more friendly than others, but not rude in the least. Ask about their family heritage and starting the restaurant if you get a chance.

This was also the first thing I did excluding sleep after returning from a wonderful journey of indulgence. Very nice welcome back. Now on to a crazy amount of picture sorting in order to limit the amount of pages, yes pages, of my next post. I took around 1200 or so pictures while traveling and less than a hundred are bad. I am excited to go through them to live it all over again.
