Savoury Sunday Mornings

The clocks turned back early Sunday morning, giving us an extra hour. We knew exactly where we would use that extra hour...at the Jet Cafe. Warm, bright and welcoming, it was the perfect place to take a break from our busy day, gather with family and enjoy some music with our brunch. When was the last time you slowed down, caught up with the special people in your life and let someone else take care of the cooking?

Every other Sunday, the Music Man drops in for an acoustic set. He provides a range of music from past to present, designed to accompany and not overpower your dining experience. Come see him again on November 20th...and remember, you can always leave a request for him in the comments under this post!

There were lots of hungry diners coming in to the Jet Cafe throughout the morning and early afternoon. Some people chose a traditional breakfast to fill up with while others wanted something a little different. We decided to go both routes for our meal.

The Eggs Benny, a Jet Cafe favourite, were a decadent and delicious choice. The eggs and peameal bacon perched atop toasted english muffins and were smothered with hollandaise sauce. It was a filling and fulfilling meal, accompanied with homefries. 

We also perused the daily specials board and discovered a grilled vegetable sandwich was available. Our stomach started growling immediately and we knew we had to order it.

Grilled vegetables with cheese were loaded onto a soft Portuguese bun. The fresh fruit helped us feel virtuous while the crispy homefries gave us a treat. It was a hot and sustaining sandwich. We ate every single bite!

As the Music Man began to play, it was time for some coffee. But what to choose today? We decided to take a break from our usual favourite flavoured coffee to try something new. We chose Canterbury Coffee's signature Kodiak blend, a mix of beans from Brazil and Indonesia. Boasting a low acidity, this dark roast promised to have a spicy/rich blend that "will keep you coming back for more".

The Kodiak blend lived up to its hype. There was a hint of spice but it did not overpower or overwhelm. This coffee had a strong taste without being hard on the stomach. We definitely came back for more.

One of the nicest things about the Jet Cafe is that you are treated like family. The staff remember your favourites and are always friendly. You are not rushed through your meal. We enjoyed being able to sit back and catch up with the other members of our party and we noticed other tables doing the same. Good company is the perfect digestive aid to a great breakfast!

The Music Man finished his set and it was time to head out into the surprisingly warm Sunday sunshine. We liked this print on the wall...it seemed to go with the slow and easy pace of the day.

See you soon at Jet Cafe!
