Los Angeles, CA - Caffe Latte; This cafe/restaurant is extremely conveniently located across the street
from the Wilshire Hotel where I was staying. It opens early enough for
me to grab a full breakfast before I head to work. Don't let the name
fool you into it being just a cafe, it has a full menu with some nice
items on it.
Your breakfast, even if its a carb-fest, will start
with their Complimentary Poppy seed Muffin. It's a nice way to welcome
you in, start satisfying that burning desire to eat. Each day, it was
fresh and soft. It's just a poppy seed, not a lemon poppy seed. Don't get
your hopes up.
Their Breakfast Sandwich, which has scrambled
eggs, bacon, pico se gallo, avocado, grilled spinach, jack cheese, and
mayo are really nice ingredients. They all work together for a nice
blend of flavors. However, the combination screams to be tucked in
between some fresh bread made that morning. What you get is two basic
pieces of toast. Not too exciting.
The Breakfast Burrito is one
mamma jamma. it includes eggs, spinach, apple chicken sausage, avocado,
swiss cheese, and pico de gallo. You cant squeeze in anymore ingredients
because the tortilla shell couldn't fit it. This is a full size burrito
that will keep you full throughout the day. The nice addition to this
is the chicken sausage. It needed that slight touch of oil, spice, and
protein to heighten its full effect.
Their best was for last,
their Latte Eggs Benedict. I would certainly get this one again. It's
not the typical benedict, it's nice to see some originality. I enjoyed
the toast underneath instead of the standard muffin. The fresh spinach,
some would say is why are you trying to dress it up as a healthy dish or
trying to squeeze veggies where they don't belong. I on the other hand
like to have the inclusion of the veggies and welcome it to be slightly
healthier. The spinach does give it a bit more earthy touch and all most
makes it a bit "lighter".
The staff was always really nice and when you're the first in there, the place is pretty quiet.
