Last month, I was off on a random Saturday (hurray) and met a good high school friend for breakfast. I have never heard of Alchemy Coffee but M has been dying to try the buttermilk pancakes. She wanted to compare these pancakes to Mildred’s Temple.

When I got there at 10am, the restaurant was already packed. And a table for two wasn’t long to wait for. The turnover was quite fast as people came in and out during my hour stay.

We ordered three dishes; pancakes (to share), egg benedict with peameal bacon (for her) and a classic brekkie with extra hash and sausages without eggs (for me).

I finished my plate, just leaving a sausage (the sausages were frozen store bought). M only finished half of her meal and I packed the pancakes. The food was mediocre. M and I wouldn’t go back, but I’m always willing to try new restaurants.

The pancake verdict? I think me having to take the leftovers home speaks for itself. Haha!
