Bread and Breakfast by Karyn Zoldan
While other restaurants like Subway and Picurro’s Pizza scramble to use low carb wraps and low carb pizza dough, Beyond Bread continues to elevate the status of bread. Aside from their wonderful desserts and lunches, they recently instituted a breakfast menu. On a recent morning my friend Marianne and I went there and rejoiced in the carbs.
We both ordered Oscar’s omelet ($3.75) and had our pick of bread. I chose rustic and she chose to forgo the bread in lieu of an almond croissant. Surprisingly, we both chose the same ingredients for our omelet: Swiss cheese and tomato. Cheese choices included provolone and sharp cheddar. Other veggie choices were onion and jalapeno. For an extra 50 cents (each) I could’ve picked avocado, green chiles, pesto, or roasted red peppers. Two potato pancakes also accompanied the omelet. We paid and found a table; because of the hour (9 a.m.) the place was fairly empty unlike the maddening lunch hour.
Coffee is help yourself and the house blend was indeed robust instead of the usual black water found around town. A few minutes later our food arrived and the omelet was probably two eggs but that’s fine with me because I don’t need super-sizing. Potato pancakes fit in the palm of my hand, were adequately crispy, and mixed with chopped parsley. For $5.22, it was a perfect breakfast where I didn’t fill stuffed and thought all the ingredients were high quality.
Other breakfast items include Eddie’s egg sandwich ($3.75) with your choice of toast, the same choices for the above omelet and those perfect potato pancakes; and Cindy cinnamon raisin French toast. Special breakfast is served until 10 a.m. Freshly squeezed orange juice, hot cinnamon buns and muffins, and an espresso bar round the experience. Low carbs be damned.

3055 N. Campbell Ave. 520-322-9965
6260 E. Speedway (at Wilmot-next to Bookman's) 520-747-7477
