Blue Max Coffee

We missed last week's blogging because it was Passover and we did not want to go  out and eat a plate of scrambled eggs with no toast.  It is good to be back. This week we opted to return to a place where we have been often before, Blue Max Coffee at 26 Lathrop ave. in Forest Park. 

When you walk in you place your order at the front counter and then take a number card to your table.  The atmosphere here is very nice. The dining area is the front room and sun porch of an old house. We have always opted to sit in the sun room, -it is sunny.  Generally the crowd is mixed between people working on their laptops and groups of women who just finished getting their kids settled into school.  It is usually fairly busy but we have never had to wait for a table. 

The menu is a large, typical Yuppie breakfast menu, perfect for its location.   You can find it on their website.  The baked goods are very good and very sweet.  This morning Leslie had the pancakes. She described them as fluffy, tasty, buttermilk based pancakes. They looked great and were covered in fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries and bananas.  After Passover I needed a break from anything that might have remotely touched an egg so I ate the oatmeal. It was really excellent, a creamy texture with good chewy oats.  I was very happy. 

They roast their own coffee and it is very good, rich well brewed and flavorful.  Leslie likes their big blue mugs.  We really like this place. I may try writing sermons here.
