My friend Kayla and I visited Café Patachou for breakfast recently. "Founded in 1989 by six-time James Beard Foundation semifinalist Martha Hoover, Cafe Patachou is an award-winning restaurant offering a world class breakfast and lunch experience," according to the website.



The light, airy dining space was like an adult student union, with coffees, breakfast items, and friendly chatter bouncing around the walls.



The menu features all day breakfast, which, of course, includes eggs, french toast and avocado toast.



I ordered: "SMOKED SALMON BAGEL - Sustainable Ora King smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill, red onions, capers on an open face bagel. Served with microgreen salad: cherry tomatoes, carrot, red onions, EVOO, and salt."



This bagel was stacked high and came with ample components for me to build it to my liking. I especially liked the pile of capers, because I love adding a little extra briny-ness to my sandwich. Fresh and flavorful, this bagel was delish.



I added a side of fresh fruit, which is key to adding a balance of sweetness to the meal. It offers a reprieve from the fattiness in the sandwich.



Overall, a nice space with some tasty food that I would certainly not hesitate to visit again.
