Finally...
... A frothy Latte and a real, fresh cooked breakfast!
CAFE PIER ONE has been at 4505 Baltimore for a while, but I just
noticed, walked in, and immediately felt at home.
I wish I'd made it a habit sooner.
A pleasant young lady served a great Latte, comparable to GREENLINE (43rd
& Baltimore) or SATELLITE (50th & Baltimore) but with the added bonus of
a cooked to order Egg.
Pancakes, Waffles and Breakfast sandwiches are other morning options.
For lunch or early dinner there are Soups, Salads and hearty Sandwiches,
including some Vegetarian options.
The food was yummy.
The place was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable.
I regret my delay in checking it out.
And I am glad I have a new designation to correct the course of a dreary
morning.
CP1 is open
Tuesday- Friday 8 AM-7:30 PM
Saturday 8:30 AM - 8 PM
Sunday 10-5 PM.
My favorite breakfast is at 4700 Baltimore.
The cook is of the old short order variety and he knows I like hot sauce,
onions and peppers in my home fries.
But, the Kims only serve a basic cup-o-Joe and I have learned to chase
Latte.
I suspect I'll be juggling lusts on those days when someone else needs to
jolt me into action with good food or liquid caffeine.
Neighbors, consider a resolution to dine out at least one a week.
Enjoy all of our local restaurants.
Singles, dates and old fogies might all benefit from a weekly meal in a
new setting or directing appetites to old favorites.
My motive? A hope that all our best places will have enough customers to
keep them open and thriving for many years.
Further afield, my favorite bakery has postponed closing, indefinitely.
MATHES BAKERY at
55th & Thomas
(one block south of Baltimore)
remains open Wednesday through Sunday.
Karen (the third generation) serves tasty treats at tiny prices.
Mouth watering pastries, homemade sticky buns, lavish pies and her unique
and elegant custom ordered cakes make this real, not just retro bakery,
worth a visit.
Best!
