Finally... ... A frothy Latte and a real, fresh cooked breakfast! Okay, CAFE PIER ONE has been at 4505 Baltimore for a while, but I finally walked in, and immediately felt at home. I wish I'd made it a habit sooner.
A pleasant young lady served a great Latte, comparable to GREENLINE (43rd & Baltimore) or SATELLITE (50th & Baltimore) but with the added bonus of cooked to order Eggs. Pancakes, Waffles and Breakfast sandwiches are other morning options. For lunch or early dinner their are Soups, Salads and hearty Sandwiches, including some Vegetarian options. It was yummy. The place was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. I regret my delay in checking it out. And I am glad I have a new designation to correct the course of a dreary morning. They are open Tuesday- Friday 8 AM-7:30 PM Saturday 8:30 AM - 8 PM Sunday 10-5 PM. My favorite breakfast is at 4700 Baltimore. The cook is of the old short order variety and he knows I like hot sauce, onions and peppers in my home fries. But, they only serve a basic cup-o-Joe and I have learned to chase Latte. I suspect I'll be juggling lusts on those days when someone else needs to jolt me into action with good food or liquid caffeine. Neighbors, consider a resolution to dine out at least one a week. Enjoy all of our local restaurants. Singles, dates and old fogies might all benefit from a weekly meal in a new setting. And I hope all our best places will have enough customers so that our enjoyment stretches over the course of years. Further afield, my favorite bakery MATHES BAKERY at 55th & Thomas (one block south of Baltimore) remains open Wednesday through Sunday. Karen serves tasty treats at tiny prices. That and her unique and elegant custom ordered cakes make this worth a visit. Best! Liz ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
