What We Tried
My husband and I try to get out for breakfast together (without the kids) most Saturdays. It’s pretty much the only time we can carry on a conversation without getting interrupted, so, it’s become an important part of our week. We have some old favorites, and often like to check out new options, too.
So, we stopped by Joybird for breakfast and we will probably be adding this one to our rotation of regular spots. We had:
- The turkey breakfast club, which was tasty with very fresh vegetables
- The pastrami sunrise was huge and definitely filling
- Carmel apple coffee cake
It’s a great option if you want something quick but still fresh and satisfying.
