As per tradition, to celebrate Mother’s Day, my parents and I headed to brunch. For the second consecutive year, we chose Cafe Osage, in the West End.
The cafe was our first stop. The brunch menu was small, but with a variety of selections. After ordering drinks, we shared the banana bread, which was warm and tasty. I ordered the baked eggs, which included cheese, shiitake mushrooms, spinach, and a side salad. The food did take some time to arrive, but it was worth the wait.Walking in, there is a rather large store including everything from gardening supplies to jewelry to home decor. To the right is the cafe, and in the back is a large selection of flowers and plants.
An important part of the experience is the atmosphere. The inside, where I sat, was cozy and comfortable. Outside, there were plenty of umbrellas to protect from the sun, and colorful flowers everywhere, which we walked through after brunch.
All in all, the brunch was very good and the restaurant was nice without being too fancy. Despite the slow service, it was a great choice for a Sunday Brunch. And, most importantly on Mother’s Day, my mom was happy!
