Black Bear Bakery is a bit of a dive in a gritty, low-rent part of town, but an area with the inklings of rejuvenation. A pasta maker was right next door, as well as this graffiti.
Anywhere you can find vegetables as graffiti, I say go!
Inside, we found an eclectic mix of tables and chairs and hip, tattooed folk baking up all kinds of goodies. On the chalkboard menus, we found not one bit of meat. Poor Daddy. He seemed a bit tense with the amount of seitan available. But, his mood lightened considerably when this plate of gorgeous french toast arrived at our booth.
Oh, so amazingly good slabs of wheat bread with powdered sugar and cinnamony pecans. YUM. We also had spicy sauteed sweet potatoes and a chocolate chip scone (my sweeties said that mine are better :). A delicious veggie meal, good coffee and grow-your-own veggies sprouting in the windowsills, too. Life is very good.
And, the bathrooms were a fun surprise, too -- total chalkboard walls! We added our own funky graffiti.
Thank you, Black Bear, for a memorable brunch!
