chiguirre Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 There are a ton of places like this in Caracas. Here's a link to a small chain that has pictures and descriptions (in Spanish, sorry) of their whole menu. http://www.danubio.com.ve/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 There are a few coffee shops locally that I think offer some similar things but I'm not usually out for breakfast and don't drink coffee, so I'm not sure on details. We went to the city last week and had breakfast at a somewhat similar joint, although it was not super upscale. It did have some nice fresh options for breakfast though, which was very nice as most places I've been to offer lots of baked- gluten and sugar filled items for breakfast. They had omelettes w/ all kinds of fresh veggies and such to add in, which was awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 There is a great place in uptown Charlotte. It is called Amalie's http://www.ameliesfrenchbakery.com/#!multimedia/c87r Each little area/room is decorated so wonderfully. Dawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkwynn Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 http://margueritescatering.com/cafe/ - more of a cafe than a bakery - they serve early dinners and cater, too. Bonus - same parking lot as our library! Really good chicken salad http://www.kookiekrums.com/ - more of a cookie/gift shop but they do have a small counter for a quick snack - the cookies are beautiful and delicious! http://www.cappuccinosbakerycafe.com/index.html - more along the lines of what you mentioned - I haven't been here but have passed by it several times - not much parking there - and I usually have kids, so not very convenient. However, after seeing the menu, I'm definitely going now! mmm. Coffeeeee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 JavaCakes in La Porte, TX is similar. It's owned by a local lady that mostly offers baked goodies and coffee, but has breakfast sandwiches and a light lunch menu as well. Wow, I really like this one. :thumbup1: Still looking at all of the other suggestions & printing out helpful menu info, decor ideas, etc. Thanks all!

gardening momma Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 First Watch is breakfast & lunch only--7 am - 2:30 pm. While it's not light breakfast & baked goods (they have a full breakfast & lunch menu), it's the only restaurant I've ever seen that is not open for supper (maybe I just haven't gotten around). Their food is good, not cheap for my pocketbook, and they're not a hole in the wall. They have restaurants in 15 states at this point. ETA: Panera does sound a little bit more like what you described in your OP, except for their hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sounds a bit like the chain La Madeleine, which would likely have a website you can hunt for info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheBrink Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Incredibly Delicious. In fact, it's owned by a homeschooling family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briansmama Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 We had one that sounds very similar, and used to go all the time before we moved. It was called Haute Cakes. One thing they started doing that I thought to mention was they carry more gluten-free options now. Many many families in this area are GF (us included) and I know that many families in our new area are as well, and more GF cafe's a d restaurants are opening here all the time. Yay!

renmew Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I love this place! http://www.portosbakery.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 This place is very local to us. They specialize in cupcakes (it's called Cupcake!), but has a beautiful bakery case and a fantastic breakfast/lunch menu. The dinner menu is new. Looks like they've just added a 2nd location I had no idea about. It's extremely popular! http://www.cup-cake.com/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmith Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I was here recently with a friend: http://lavieenrosebakerycafe.com/ I had an amazing quiche. Mushroom, shallot and cream, with herbs. I've been craving it ever since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
