Omelette – CURLSXOXO

Feeling a little fancy, I decided to dress up and venture out to Julienne’s in San Marino to enjoy a nice breakfast with fancy toast. The weather was just a bit crisp but sunny. We opted to sit outdoors since the overhead heaters made for a comfortable environment. This was my first time trying the restaurant, but I had heard great reviews about it.

Julienne’s is well known for their breakfast. Their signature dish is a creme brûlée French toast served with fresh strawberry sauce and creme anglais. Of course, this was the first item I had to try!

This dish is so decadent and sweet! I would recommend sharing it so that you don’t end up in a sugar coma.

The ambiance of the restaurant is intimate and quaint. The restaurant consists of a dining patio and three adjacent store fronts, one of which serves as a gourmet market and gift shop. During this particular visit, holiday music played in the background and the restaurant was decorated with twinkle lights and garland.

After looking over all of the egg options, I opted for an omlette. While all the egg dishes sounded delicious, the Green Omlette caught my attention since it was served with avocado.

Everything was fantastic. From the complimentary toast to the ambiance. Julienne’s is a great place to start your morning with your girl friends chatting over a hot cup of coffee. Or a nice date place to take that special someone or even mom and dad.

Breakfast is served Monday – Friday from 7:00 am to 10:45 am, with an intermission menu available from 10:45 am to 11:30 am. Brunch is served all day Saturday and the restaurant is closed on Sunday. Check out their website or Yelp for more information.

You can never go wrong with a Southern Californian breakfast. A nice big cup of coffee, fresh eggs, fruit, and bread make for the perfect comfort meal. Urth Caffe is a great place to indulge for breakfast. The cafe offers a great variety of coffee, entrees, and baked goods. Everything is fresh, made-to-order, and simple.

The spinach and feta omelette is my favorite. It is a three egg omelette with sautéed spinach, red onions, and imported feta cheese. The dish is served with a spring salad and a side of bread. A simple combination which compliments the omelettes very well. When it comes to choosing a beverage, the coffee and tea options can be overwhelming. There are hot, cold, and blended, caffeinated and non-caffeinated varieties. Out of all of the delicious coffee options, my favorite has to be the honey vanilla latte. The combination of vanilla and honey makes this choice just the right amount of sweet – no sugar needed.

Currently, the Urth Caffe has four locations throughout Southern California. Each cafe’s architecture is unique. I love the Pasadena locale for it’s laid-back ambiance and Spanish colonial design. All locations offer outdoor seating, which is a must in Southern California, and great for people watching.
