Birthday Breakfast

 A month and a half ago, we took our first walk downtown Spokane. Ever since, I have had my eye on this cafe called Madeleine's Patisserie. Look at it! Adorable!


 
 And, even though we are still tight on cash, Joe and I stopped in for a little birthday breakfast. Originally it was going to be a coffee and a pastry, but then we saw the menu.




I've never been a speedy decision maker at restaurants, but this was almost impossible! How could I decide? Pancakes with MAPLE butter? Oven roasted asparagus in a balsamic reduction? 




The lattes and cappuccinos were delicious, and when our food came, we tried to remember a time when we had eaten a better breakfast. That's Joe's smoked salmon hash with hollandaise sauce on the top left, and below that is my quiche Lorraine, which was hanging out with some well-seasoned, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside potatoes.



 Here's some more photos of its adorableness:



I love their open kitchen, and unlike many of them, it doesn't overtake the dining area with a lot noise. 





Next time, I'll make sure to get one of their cupcakes (I saw a lemon poppyseed with boysenberry frosting!). And look at that--even their signs are pretty!

  1. We liked that Spokane spot too! Good (and pretty) coffee & delicious sweets. There are a few gems around that city... we also recommend The Latah Bistro, which is just outside of town along the highway (south towards Colfax).

  3. I've decided, my name is Madeliene & I own that cafe! It looks like so much more fun than my boring job!
