Treat Yourself to an Afternoon Delight.

Walk down E. Liberty on any given Sunday morning and you’ll find yourself peeking through glass windows, wondering why so many people are standing in line just to get breakfast. Afternoon Delight’s breakfast is truly worth the wait. I finally made the trip last Sunday with some friends while my Dad was still in town. Although the group of us normally eats healthy, we threw aside our weekly “diets” and ordered up, leaving no scraps behind.

Eggs:

Egg dishes were all spectacular. Between the table, we ordered…

-an egg white vegetable omelet (on the lighter side, but perfect balance of sauteed vegetables and egg)

-a smoked Nova salmon omelet (on the weekends they serve with it with fresh poached salmon!)

-a veggie boule (imagine…a mixture of vegetables, eggs and cheese served in a hollowed out French bread bowl or “boule”, béarnaise sauce on the side)

-and finally, smoked Nova salmon eggs benedict (the richest of the dishes, but by far the tastiest. Salmon, cream cheese, capers, red onions and poached eggs atop a toasted whole wheat English muffin, smothered in béarnaise sauce. What more could you want?)

Pancakes and Muffins:

-Blueberry pancakes. The size of a dinner plate, this pancake was griddled and flipped to perfection. At the first bite, you were greeted by warm and buttery yet fluffy goodness with the right balance of fresh blueberries. We shared one for the table and it was gone almost instantly. Ironically, nobody wanted to be the one to take the last bite.

-Blueberry and peach muffins. I’m not sure if the muffin is a signature of Afternoon Delight or not, but it was hands down the best thing we ordered. Order it cut in half and toasted or if you’re feeling adventurous (or a bit indulgent), order it split and filled with frozen yogurt.

Although it is a few blocks from campus, Afternoon Delight is worth the walk AND the wait. For under $10, you can fill up on your favorite breakfast foods…and if you’re still not satisfied, they serve lunch too.
