Flour tortilla, salsa verde, manchego, potato, scrambled eggs. $15
Purple Palm Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
This was not worth fifteen bucks! The scrambled egg filling with chorizo tasted fine, but it took SO long to get this to our table that it was cold and unappetizing when it arrived. The salsa verde sauce on the bottom of the plate was gross and congealed and would attach in chunks to the bottom of the breakfast burrito. Ew!
Their food warmer was down, so I had to eat this cold. Definitely not as good. $4.25
La Boulange de Noe, San Francisco CA
Small coffee. $1.75
Yellow-orange African daisy flowers (Gazania sp., Asteraceae), Point Lobos Avenue.
Each $12
Purple Palm Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
So I’ve mentioned that the service here was HORRIBLE, but I forgot to mention that they also overcharged us for our mimosas. The menu stated $10, but we were charged $12. We were gonna order bloody marys, but they were out of it. What?! How is that possible? Sheesh, what a disappointment!
Coffee. $3
Mt. San Jacinto trail.
With breakfast potatoes. $17
Purple Palm Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
I was really disappointed in this place! We had brunch reservations so we stood at the front hostess area for 10 minutes while the staff worked on 3 tables. We finally got fed up and just sat ourselves down. The wait staff was super slow and bored looking. Sheesh!
This eggs benedict was overpriced for what you got, and the hollandaise sauce was cold. Probably because it took forever to get it out to us. Lame – get your act together Puple Palm!

Freshly baked with walnuts. $4.50
Cafe Chloe, San Diego CA
This was warm and sticky, and utterly delicious! I’m glad it wasn’t super gigantic because I would have eaten it all.

French ham and gruyere with sunny egg and mornay sauce on toasted bread, mixed greens and roasted tomato. $13.75
Cafe Chloe, San Diego CA
Omg, this was amazingly delicious! I’ve had quite a few croque madames in my life and this was one of the better ones. It was flavorful, saucy, fatty, rich, and fabulous! Great job Cafe Chloe.

Scrambled eggs, home fries, wheat toast, and bacon. $12.75
Lark Creek Grill, San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
A standard breakfast, but well done as airport food goes. The bacon was extra crispy and flat (must have been baked). The potatoes were a bit on the greasy side, but other than that not too many complaints.

Served with 2 eggs scrambled, homefries, country bacon gravy and a biscuit. $11.95
Gussie’s Chicken and Waffles, San Francisco CA
This was disgusting! We sat there for a while wondering what it was. There was very little gravy because most of it had soaked into the soft doughy breading to create an odd mealy surface. So gross! I’m surprised that a quintessentially Southern place like Gussie’s can make such a horrible chicken fried steak. The biscuit was also super dry and puck-like.
Coffee. $2.59
Chicken chorizo, eggs, scallions, peppers and jack cheese on a bed of black bean chili topped with salsa fresca, avocado and sour cream. Served with house potatoes and whole wheat toast. $9.95
Crepevine, San Francisco CA
This definitely filled me up. The scramble actually comes as a breakfast burrito, but I requested it not wrapped in a flour tortilla. I don’t need the extra carbs, hehe!
Two eggs over easy, cheddar cheese and corn tortillas topped with spicy ranchero sauce and served with black beans and jalapeno sour cream. $9.75
Squat & Gobble, San Francisco CA
There’s something about a large plate of huevos rancheros that just makes my morning! The version at Squat & Gobble isn’t very authentic but it tastes great. The service is always very friendly here and the people watching makes me smile.
Coffee.
Savory crepe with avocado, bell peppers, tomatoes, sauteed onions and cheddar topped with salsa fresca and sour cream and spicy chipotle on the side. Served with house potatoes and mixed greens with vinaigrette. $9.50
Crepevine, San Francisco CA
To me, these crepe places tend to be cookie-cutter and predictable which is both a good and bad thing. You always know what to expect, but nothing is ever new and interesting. That’s why quality is the deciding factor when comparing these establishment. Crepevine is pretty good. The food is yummy and the ingredients are of nice quality.
Two eggs over medium served with home fried potatoes, and wheat toast. $10.49
It’s Tops Coffee Shop, San Francisco CA
I can’t really ever complain about corned beef hash! Especially when the corned beef looks like it’s from a can – noms, lol! This was salty, fattening and utterly delicious!
