Best breakfast in Riverside/Avondale?

[Jaxson]

The Fox has a charm that keeps me going back there.  I have been to Biscotti's and Blue Fish for Sunday brunch and I like their food and service as well...  Cool Moose has great coffee and I enjoy their crab cake Benedict.

Gotta go with Biscotti's.  The breakfast burrito is top notch as is the breakfast sandwhich with smoked Gouda.  good stuff.  Enjoy!

You heard it right - Awesome unlimited Bloody Mary bar or bottomless Mimosas for FIVE BUCKS!!!

I will drink that place out of business.

Crazy Egg is great for a low-key sit-down breakfast (but crazy crowded on the weekends). The Fox is more expensive, but quick, efficient, and definitely a good people-watching scene. Pinegrove Deli has an awesome breakfast--french toast, huge egg platters, protein load-- but NOT a quick in-and-out--no pre-cooking here; personally, I love the egg white/banana pepper/tomato and onion in a pita wrap. Whiteway is also the bomb. Really, an embarrassment of riches here in RA!

We tried to go to Crazy Egg one day ,but it had already closed for the day.. but the food sounds yummy

Thanks for all the feedback. I ended up trying the Brick - pretty good (Fox was going to be too much of a wait). Definitely need to try Blue Fish for those mimosas and bloody marys!

How did we all miss (the) Brick 

[RiversideLoki]

Because the Brick is really inconsistent, terribly overpriced, and more of a place to be seen than it is to actually eat in any reasonable amount of time for any reasonable amount of money.

Don't get me wrong, I've eaten there before and I have had some good food. To me, the best thing on their brunch menu is the biscuits and gravy (which is both cheap and a large portion.) But I can't justify spending that much money on brunch or breakfast due to the times I've gone and the service has been horrible, the food cold, or the seasoning just being whacky. I could go on and on, and (if you search a bit) we actually HAVE gone on and on in another thread IIRC. But I won't.

The Fox or Cool Moose are my regular Sunday morning stomping grounds. Both can get pretty busy, as seating is hard to come by in the a.m. at both locations.

My votes... try them both

BTW, for an upscale Brunch, be sure to check Town and Orsay!

Gotta go with Biscotti's.

+1
Don't be lured in by the empty promises of the Brick!  I'll second (or third) Biscotti's just across the street--you gotta try their creme brulee French toast with a side of smoked cheddar cheese grits.  Yum!  And unlike a lot of places around that might only give you a bit of orange or half a banana sliced up, they actually offer a decent selection of fruit (assortment of berries, melon, pineapple, etc) as a side for us non-bacon munchers.  And they serve locally roasted Martin coffee.  Best bang for the buck IMO.

Orsay is always an excellent choice too for breakfast/brunch or any other meal for that matter.

I *love* Biscottis.. but their menu is a bit too sugar laden for my taste. I treat them as a once in a blue moon thing otherwise I fear I'll go into a diabetic coma (and I'm not even diabetic!)

[grimss]

Gotta give a shout out to Pinegrove Deli. Terrific french toast, fluffy pancakes, and my regular favorite--egg whites, banana peppers, tomatoes,  & onions in a wrap--make this the neighborhood stealth favorite.

Me and a buddy went to Blue Fish for brunch for the first time this Sunday. First, what a great space! I'd love to see them put a martini bar or something into the patio/building in the back. Second, service was great. Food was pretty good. My friend got the chicken and waffles, I tried a bite, I look forward to getting it next time. The unlimited bloody marys were a great cure for a hangover, hair of the dog.
