Alex over at the Costeaux Bakery Cafe

I was over at the Costeux Bakery Cafe on Monday afternoon just to get out of the house and have a bite to eat. I’d taken my laptop because I knew Costeaux has an open WiFi connection. I thought I could get caught up on some emails and maybe make a post.
I’d also talked to Abby (the marketing and PR person) last week about their menu and found out that Costeaux offers a full breakfast all day long. And what is the most important meal of the day? I figured if I were only going to eat one meal, it might as well be breakfast. I indulged in their quiche.
Deep-dish quiche designed with Black Forest ham, bacon, mushrooms, onions, zucchini, spinach, bell peppers, Jarlsberg and cheddar cheeses with a side of seasonal fresh fruit.
As I was finishing up my meal, the staff was tidying up their shift. Alex asked if I would like anything else. A coffee? A treat? He was incredibly courteous. He even just said: “I’d recommend the chocolate chip or chocolate crinkle.” (I’m pretty sure he was talking about a sweet treat to go with the coffee).
And because he offered that recommendation, I asked him what else he’d recommend on the menu. He smiled and immediately replied: “Oh. The chibatta. It’s on the special menu sometimes.” Then he said: “The chicken sandwich.” I’m sure if I’d let him, he would have just rattled off the complete menu.
I’ve been over to Costeaux a number of times lately–because I like their breakfast menu. I’ve been trying something different every time.
It’s all good. And, to top it off, they have baked goods, breads, wedding cakes, catering services, and boxed lunches. Pick up and delivery.
How can you go wrong with any of that?
