Over the long labor day weekend, somehow I ended up going to Beau Monde for two brunches in a row. Not complaining, but it was just unplanned, unexpected, and something I don’t typically do (go to the same restaurant two days in a row). On Saturday, the place was unusually deserted for a Saturday at 11AM. Perhaps everybody had left to get a last weekend in down the shore? And there were even tons of tables outside.

Moooooooooooo…I just liked this tin measuring cup the sweeteners came in. Me and my macros. So sue me.
The savory crepe special of the day… Pancetta, eggplant, tomatoes, and other stuff. Tasted sort of like thanksgiving stuffing on the inside, with pancetta on top. Really quite delicious, and worth the price. Their specials are always pretty pricey.I wanted the same pancetta / eggplant savory crepe special on Sunday, but they did not have any savory specials on Sunday. But we did manage to get an outside table in about 15 minutes. Score! Moms got the same scrambled egg with blueberry and maple syrup crepe she got before. Way to go mom, for being adventurous and trying something new.
W went wild and got the ham and cheese. The bro went real buck wild and got the chocolate, toasted coconut, and coffee ice cream sweet crepe, without the toasted coconut. But oh yeah, even though he asked for no coconut, it came with it anyway.
For me, I got the scrambled eggs with roasted poblanos, tomatoes, cheese, avocado corn salsa, and caramelized tomato sauce. This was seriously so damn good, and so filling, that I could not possibly finish it. We also got a side of the baby red potatoes, which were also quite good. Service was fine, nothing spectacular, but nothing to complain about. And I took a bunch of their matches. Still one of my favorite places for Brunch.

Somehow, we made an impromptu stop at Milkboy in Bryn Mawr earlier this week. It was an open mic night at the acoustic cafe location. This one being the much smaller one next to the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. It’s a tiny little place. They serve coffee and tea and some snacks. There’s wifi and reading material and even some board games. It’s not a bad place. It had some crazy art for sale on the walls.

R got a giant black and white cookie. It was alright. I don’t drink coffee, but in general, I’ve found the service and attitude at the Bryn Mawr Milkboy to be quite good. The staff is friendly and helpful and generally have a good time. The Ardmore spot is the original one and much bigger. And with that comes an attitude. The staff there seem like they can’t be bothered. Hello, you are slingin’ coffee. There’s no reason to be surly to me. I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something about the Ardmore one that rubs me the wrong way. They have live music pretty much every night at the Ardmore location. And if it weren’t for the surliness, it would be even better.
