Patty Pan Cafe

$ 4 vegetarian and vegan breakfast items at 3pm? Yes, please.

This café just opened up on Madison near 23^rd in the old Fixx coffee space across from Crush. They serve coffee drinks made with Fremont Coffee beans, which have a distinctly different and more mellow flavor than Caffe Vita for example.
In addition, they serve granola, cookies, cookie bars, scones and lunch-​type food items. I enjoyed their savory scone, and especially liked that their baked goods aren’t the same stuff you find everywhere else. Everything they serve is homemade and it is fresh from locally sourced ingredients.
I also liked that I could get there at 10:30am and eat their lunch fare. Several items I’ve tried and liked are the curried lentil soup, the corn and squash soup, their beef and bean chili, and their stuffed bread (with smoked salmon, potatoes, and cream cheese). They have a number of hearty-​sounding salads as well, but I haven’t tried them yet. The menu changes weekly (and seasonally of course), which will definitely keep me coming back.
As someone who lives and works nearby, I am so happy to have this friendly and delicious option for coffee, breakfast, or lunch.
