Easter Breakfast

The family was in town for the Easter weekend. This is their third annual Easter visit and it has become somewhat of a tradition (as my brother would dub it) to have breakfast at this quirky little place a few miles from our apartment. We stumbled across it on their first Easter visit simply because it was the only breakfast place that wasn’t packed full of folks out for some post mass food.

The best thing about this place is not the food, but the coffee mugs. They don’t have a standard set of plain mugs like most other places. Rather, they have a collection of misfit mugs and it’s good fun to see what kind you will get on any given day. This Easter morning I was greeted with the “Merry Christmas” mug pictured above. Russell’s featured the beautiful bird, my Dad had one from an FAA conference, and my Mom’s urged her to visit St. Louis.

If the mugs aren’t fun enough, this morning our waitress was dressed in Easter bunny gear, including face paint. The only way breakfast could have been better is if they had handed us baskets full of candy on the way out.
