Loki Cafe

Today a few of us went to Loki Cafe for brunch. It just opened recently on 45th, and I like to keep up with the Wallingford restaurants, so I have been wanting to try it out.

Quick summary: Not so good. You're better off going to Julia's.

More detailed summary: When I got into the restaurant, it looked crowded but there was no wait, so I thought that was pretty cool. When our waiter asked us what we wanted to drink, I said coffee (of course!) and Sean and Evan both ordered waters. So the waiter brought a coffee and two waters. Now, I realize that I didn't explicitly ask for a water, but who doesn't bring everyone a water? I found that a tad weird.

Then onto our food. Sean order 'chilaquiles', which sounded yummy. Turns out they were out of that, and the huevos rancheros. So he went with the Bagley Breakfast. I *heart* the name, but the breakfast is fairly boring. 2 eggs, hash browns, choice of breakfast-y meat, and toast. YAWN. This is a fine breakfast, however it should not cost more than $5. $9.75 is right out.

I got eggs benedict, which were quite good. I'm willing to pay $10 for those since that's about how much they always cost, and I'm too lazy to buy and use an egg poacher. Our friend Laura ordered a waffle, which looked very thin. Maybe it tasted good, but again, for that kind of waffle volume, we should be looking at under $3.

Finally the coffees. They were good but cost $2.50. I should have looked at the menu, and to be honest I'm sure I would have ordered it anyway. Cause I freakin love coffee. And I especially love getting it at a restaurant cause free refills are the bomb! :) Does anyone say the bomb anymore? Outside of 'somebody set up us the bomb?' Heh heh.

So, the breakfast was fine. And our waiter was not bad, but certainly not giving it 110%. Or even 90%. Overall, it was just too pricey for what it was.
