cold winter mornings and we wanted to do something different than our usual eggs on toast for breakfast. so i let him decide and he opted for brunch at west end coffee house, a place that his very popular with the locals and had been recommended to us by quite a few of our good friends. . as popular as it was, the place was completely full, inside and outside. we finally managed to grab seats inside along a big communal table which was a little bit of a hazard as quite a few fellow patrons definitely had the flu.
