Hey maggie's back!- It only took me a few weeks to figure out how to log back onto this thing.
Today I'm reviewing The Original Gourmet Brunch on Main St in Hyannis. We haven't had much luck on Main Street, Sunnyside (eh), Percy's (puts too much slimy crap in their breakfast potatoes) a good friend however recommended OGB, so Holly decided it was our next SYNT breakfast rendezvous.
It was warm, and the waitress was friendly, so was the host. They have excellent taste in art, including a limited edition lithograph of Heather Braginton-Smith's Pops-By-The-Sea from 1989.
The coffee was pretty good, the sweetener options were sparse "We have brown sugar for your coffee" the waitress gestured towards a cute little glass jar on the table...indeed filled with brown sugar. I don't know about you but I'm picky when it comes to my coffee, I like it black with sugar, white sugar. Holly prefers 7 creamers and sweet-n-low. There was no sweet-n-low, there was however white sugar, 5 packets to be exact, which is only enough for one cup of coffee. For my second cup I thought "What the hell?" and scooped a heaping spoon full of brown sugar into my coffee, which tasted pretty great actually. Did I mention that the coffee cups were clear glass? I thought they were really cool and got us each one to take home, a souvenir, "Thanks for the good times, don't know if I'll be back."
The food: I ordered a waffle with strawberries and whipped cream and a side of whatever they call their breakfast potatoes.
What I got was a smallffle covered in FRESH strawberries and whipped cream it was tasty, yet small and rectangular instead of the round plate sized waffle I was expecting. I took a bite of breakfast potato and said "That is interesting." To which Holly replied "Yeah...interesting." They tasted like potato, no spice, no grease, just cooked potato. We ended up dousing our potatoes with salt and ketchup to get a passable side dish.
Overall, not the best, not the worst.
