I blogged earlier about Patisserie LeBeau’s Liege waffles, and how I don’t really like them. I find that the Liege waffles at Cafe Medina are far superior.
Actually, I prefer Cafe Medina for a number of reasons. In addition to waffles, they now have a full kitchen that serves amazing breakfast (after 9am – you’ve been warned) and lunch. The space is beautiful and tastefully decorated, and the European-accented staff really make you feel like you’ve travelled across the Atlantic.

The Whip is one part art gallery, one part restaurant, and one part bar. Given that it’s on a less-gentrified stretch of Main Street, it’s also a popular hipster hangout – but please don’t hold that against it.
I met Elisa for brunch there on the weekend, and the quality of food really blew me away. I’ve only had evening appetizers there, and while the food was well-prepared, it wasn’t terribly inventive or amazing. Apparently they’ve got the A-team working weekend brunch, because it was some kind of wonderful.

Sometimes I confuse myself. For instance, when it comes to strawberry or raspberry jam, I insist that the seeds be in it. Seedless raspberry jam is no fun whatsoever. But then today, I made myself a banana-blackberry smoothie. Given what I just said about raspberry jam, you’d expect me to be all over the seeds, right?
Wrong.
One sip into the smoothie, I got distracted by the seeds and had to get the strainer. That’s right kids, I actually strained my smoothie. I’m high-maintenance like that.
