Flavors. Presentation. Correctly portioned. And service. How is it that most breakfast spots don't get this correct formula dialed in? The Peach Cafe is truly an outlier in this respect. Nestled into the quaint residential landscape of the city of Monrovia, it's a stark contrast and respite from the hordes of Denny's and iHops that pepper the suburban landscape. Chain behemoths that serve ridiculous portions in lieu of creating a meal actually worth remembering. My first meal at The Peach Cafe was on an overcast Sunday - and I wasn't expecting much. My sister was visiting from out of town, and had discovered this restaurant on Yelp, and she insisted we try it. I acquiesced after a few protests. I'll cut to the chase now. There was a sampling of dishes. The breakfast panini. The breakfast burrito. Benedict. Every plate was brought out to our table plated very nicely. The flavors from each were deliberate, distinct, and powerful. And the house BREAD. I'm not big on bread, really. This is some true artisan stuff you don't get a your generic neighborhood cafe. And the service? Friendly and incredibly accommodating. You can tell these guys love showing up to work everyday. As a person who tends to eat until the plate is clean, I most appreciated the thoughtfulness to portion size. Not too little, not too much. Just right. Goldilocks left her mark here in spades. We left feeling satiated, without the dread of pending morning food-coma, and the discomfort of carrying a 9-month term food baby for the next few hours. The Peach Cafe, you have my heart.
