We had a good night's rest at the Crowne Plaza after the Weenie Roast.
We slept very well, knowing our room cost only $38. Love that priceline.
Nearby was The CAMP, an interesting outdoorsy retail community.
Nestled in The CAMP is Old Vine Cafe.
Its patio area is a woodsy sanctuary.
We enjoyed our bucolic breakfast. The natural light was as delicious as the food.
Fresh-squeezed orange juice ($6.50) and fresh wild berry lemonade ($4).
Both tart and lovely.
Italian quiche ($9.50) with creamy cheesy grits ($2.00).
Many of you know that I am The Pie Monster. And what is quiche but a nummerrific savory pie? This Italian sausage and gouda cheese baked in a flaky crust made love to my mouth. Sweet sweet morning love.
And the grits? Me, quiche, and creamy cheesy grits. Carnal threesome. Yeah.
Fresh-baked cinnamon roll ($2.50).
A warm piece of icing-smeared heaven.
Side of apple sausage ($4).
Juicy! Snappy! Happy!
Blueberry brioche French toast ($10).
This was the only thing that didn't win me over. Mr. Monkey liked it just fine, but I found it a tad too mushy and a bit bland. This is something I rarely say, but I think it could've been a little sweeter.
Skip the French toast, but hurry over to start your day right at this rustic alcove.
very nice photos. and you know i like the camp. and old vine. i need to eat real food there next time, though, not just cheese.
ReplyDelete*drool* cheese grits...
ReplyDeleteBummer the french toast wasn't good - it looks amazing.
Oooooh so cute! This looks like a great place for a photoshoot.
ReplyDeleteugh - good eater, photographer and writer: carnal threesome is amazing. But makes me blush!!
ReplyDeleteI feel so good about the fact I made a fancy breakfast yesterday looking at all these breakfast foods!
ReplyDeleteah, your pictures are so fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove love LOVE The Camp! Glad you had a good breakfast :)
ReplyDeleteI went to HS with the guy who owns/is the chef at old vine.
ReplyDeletealthough my tummy wasn't too happy with me after our dinner there one night. :/
I find The Camp to be much younger and hipper than I am, but I love your photos of it.
ReplyDeletei am salivating just looking at these pictures. i definitely want to try this place out, looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I love Old Vine!
ReplyDeletePie! I'm a pie fiend too. Mmm. Pie.
ReplyDeleteThere's this part in "How I Met Your Mother" where Marshall wants a wedding pie, instead of a cake. Pie. Mmm.
Did I tell you I like pie? :P
I just finished my breakfast 5 minutes ago and now I am hungry again. THANKS!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. I love breakfast food.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it!! And I secretly agree about the berry brioche French toast... :) I am so having that quiche this morning!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cute little place.
ReplyDeletei love this place. on a good day, i can get a new piercing at outer limits, have dinner at old vine, then have dessert at milk+honey, then drinks at the tin lizzy saloon down the street ;-)
