| The Egg, 3500 Kinhega Drive, Tallahassee. |
I've enjoyed this quaint breakfast café, now called The Egg Cafe & Eatery, ever since I moved into my Tallahassee neighborhood.
This morning was no different. Except that it was! In such a delightful way!
The last time I ate at The Egg (formerly known as Another Broken Egg, part of a small southern restaurant chain) it had been bought, reorganized, and was headed for a remodel that very next weekend.
I gave them plenty of time to get it together. What I found this morning was heart (and stomach) warming, big time. The remodel of the inside of the café did not take the ambiance away from the two dining rooms. Rather, new paint and clean wood floors simply emphasized the coziness.
The former establishment was not particularly noted for fast, efficient service. When I heard the wait-staff discussing the fact that they were the only two people working on the floor, I pulled out the Kindle and creamed my coffee, settling down to enjoy the view and use the extra time before breakfast to read my book club selection.

But, no. Everything rolled right along. Scrambled eggs, bacon, jalapeño cheese grits, and an English muffin was sitting before me in a flash.
Not only that. Everything was delicious; cooked to perfection, using good quality grits, just the right amount of pepper-heat, with crisp bacon slices.
It was a nice, relaxing brunch. I sent the chef my compliments, gladly paid the bill, and left as the lunch crowd was beginning to arrive. I'll try lunch next. I wonder if they still have the tomato/basil soup on the menu?
