Do you Brunch?!
My sister + I were just talking about meeting for brunch someday soon when heyyy! Did you know that Alexander’s does BRUNCH!!?! They only started offering it recently. Daily until 2p. And YES we would love to try it!! Sadly, she had to take an emergency trip so she wasn’t able to come with me this time. But we will def be coming back cuz I have to share these gems with her!!
Tornado Egg Omelette (egg, ham, homemade honey mustard, croissant, fruit) – These eggs were scrambled just like mom would make them at home, so you’re instantly met with nostalgic comfort. The ham had a nice saltiness. As simple as this one was, it was SO good. My 2nd favorite, hands down.
Champion’s Croissant Avocado Toast (oeuf poche, avocado, crispy prosciutto, pecorino romano, micro arugula, on top of the famous flat croissant) – Freshness hits you first, then the crispy prochutes (that’s what we call it at home!) (I know, what kind of Italian am I?! hehe), a little avo action, and juicy egg! There’s a nice heat that hits you in the back of the throat…but what I really liked was that citrusy sour note.
Spiral Burger (prime beef, triple cheese, runny egg, veggies, secret sauce) – I don’t even know what to say about this… (whiny emoji) Burger King who? McDonald’s who? This burger was so juicy, the sauce was exquisite, and that croissant bun just puts it on another level. Also if I might add, if you’re an arugula freak like I am- all the arugula galore that you could ever hope for!! (clapping hands emoji) We would happily pay this price over value menu pricing any day.
Coconut Overnight Oats (chia seeds, seasonal fruit, honey glazed nuts, coconut milk, maple syrup) – Creamy like a panna cotta (raise your hand if you know that’s my favorite dessert), nice crunch from all the nuts, honey hanging out in the background, and perfectly-timed ripe sweet berries. Spoon, licked clean.
Roasted Beef Panini (roasted prime beef, sweet onion, grilled pepper with onion olive oil, secret sauce) – Let me start off by saying: I didn’t even want this one. Hahah! (I was looking at their chicken one with more arugula and garlic aioli) But I am soo grateful that I agreed to what my date chose, because this was my absolute favorite of the brunch!! The tanginess of that sauce!! Onion was grilled to perfection, the juiciest red pepper, and the bite to the beef was excellent. I’m gonna have to ask the Huz to pick me up one of these when he’s on that side of town again, cuz…ugh, SO GOOD.
What a treat, we even got to try 2 of their NEW DESSERTS! Thank you to our gracious host for picking these beauties!
Mango Tango (mango cremeux, vanilla chiffon, passion whip ganache, vanilla mousse) – The mousse was delicately light. But don’t let that fool you cuz it was FULL of mango flavor! I want more!! (Legit just remembered I had my second half in the fridge and devoured it just now after writing this!)
Zen (matcha diplomat cream, matcha sponge cake, raspberry confit) – I had to have a moment after my first bite. I keep using the word ‘perfect’ in this, but I can’t think of a better adjective!? Soo I’m gonna keep using it k! PERFECT matcha flavor (not too earthy, not artificial tasting at all) with a light raspberry vibe.
So back to my question ‘Do you Brunch?!’… If you do, I have just the place! Go for the Roasted Beef Panini alone man, seriously!! But don’t forget to get the Tornado Egg too. And you’ll have to try the Spiral Burger of course. Oh, and the Champion’s Croissant too! Just come okay!! I’ll meet you there!
Thank you thank you thank you once again to the entire Alexander’s Patisserie team for showing us such a good time! We are always welcomed with such warmth and love. You are all such a pleasure to work with, I always leave not being able to wait to come back! (and then my poor husband gets sent there consistently for the following weeks after, to fetch craving requests for me hehe. LOVE HIM for it, thank you Poppi) If you’ve not already, please visit my friends at Alexander’s and enjoy their new Brunch Menu! Then tell us all about it, we love hearing from you.
