After my workout I got all beautified for my hot brunch date with Tassoula my Foodie partner in crime. We chose to eat at The Village Cafe in Redmond today. I got there around 10:30PM and there was a line out the door which is always a great sign. I put my name in and the wait was around 20 minutes, which isn't that bad.

Tassoula and I chatted about pretty much everything and agreed that we were in love this spot. It was a neighborhood diner that served traditional breakfast. The wait went by quickly because we again just talked. :) On a side note how adorable is Tassoula... she made me a homemade valentine. So freaking cute! I just love her so much.


We both decided to go with carb friendly menu items. I ordered a half order of swedish pancakes and decided to make it a combo with 2 scrambled eggs and bacon! Yummo!! When my plates came out I was so happy. I have never had swedish pancakes before so the 'lingonberries sauce' was a delighful topping and made my swedish pancakes even more memorable. My breakfast was perfection!!



Village Square Cafe

Service: Friendly, attentive and helpful.
Atmosphere: I loved the old school diner feel to this place... which meant its focus is squarely on the food!
Food: The menu options were plentiful and once you decided believe me you won't be disappointed! Swedish pancakes and Blitz Berry Waffle were both delicious.
Price: This place is definitely affordable... with tax and tip I ended up paying $18 again a generous tip was included.
