The Biscuit Cafe

     What's better than breakfast all day? Chorizo breakfast all day!! Every year, we take our cute little Granny to see the tulips in Holland. We drive circles around Tulip Lane, and every year we get lost somewhere around the pickle factory. Granny always knows where we're at, but she forgets to tell us, because she's too busy talking about all of her old Dutch friends.
     In our wanderings, Granny wants to show us Washington Square (again). Washington Square looks exactly like Roseville, Virginia. Like stepping into the 1950's but without bowling shoes.
 By this time, our blood sugar is so low, even Granny starts slurring. In between stories about tulips, wooden shoes, and aprons, we hear Granny blurt, "Let's get some lunch." Then we see a sign we didn't see on last year's tulips trek. It read 'Breakfast All Day'.
You know that's right.

     The Biscuit is a contemporary food spot in Washinton Square. They have more chorizo than a Mexican Christmas. And we don't take chorizo lightly. The day we were there (Sunday) they offered two daily specials, pancake and scramble. 
     Bella had the pancake special, which involved peanut butter, caramel, strawberries, bananas, and homemade whipped cream. You heard me. I said homemade.
It's like having a banana split for breakfast, legally.

     I had the breakfast tacos. Lots of chorizo, these seemed to me like a breakfast taco married a tamale. The breakfast tacos I am used to have pulled pork, but I think I could have the Biscuit's breakfast tacos every day for at least 3 months and not tire of them.

     Granny had the pulled pork hash omlette. With bacon (love) and basil (love), this is also available with chicken-apple hash. That's like trying to decide between having X-ray vision or being able to fly. Granny wants X-ray vision. She loved the diced potatoes, perfectly seasoned; are there sweet potatoes in there?
Very generous portions all around. 

     For those of you who prefer a gluten-free breakfast, The Biscuit has gluten-free options. The Chinese Five Spice Rice Patties were light and flavorful, and the spices worked wonderfully.  A bowl of fresh fruit and syrup to drizzle on top rounds out this dish. These have no dairy and no sugar.
Even sugar-free syrup is available.

     Cranberry-Walnut Focaccia, whole wheat pancakes, homemade granola... The coffee is from Uncommon Grounds in Saugatuck. The tea is loose; one option, blood orange! They even keep raw sugar on the table. What restaurant have you been to lately that has lemon curd and homemade onion jam with fresh made biscuits? Check out their website ( www.thebiscuitcafe.com ) and find the Spanish Bennies: chipotle Hollandaise sauce? I'm not waiting for tulips to try that!
      The food at the Biscuit is a cutting edge blend of classic favorites and innovative culinary craftsmanship. Washington Square just became part of  Tulip Lane. Someone make a detour sign!
