Clc Cafe - Belmont

My husband and I entered this café today looking for an easy, good bite. We got the Sunday brunch and were nicely surprised! The scrambled eggs were soft and creamy, and the French bread actually made with bread instead of brioche, just like in France. We also enjoyed the delicious homemade pastries. Everything was fresh; brunch changes weekly, general menu monthly. Can't wait to go back for lunch.

I waited a bit to write this review so that I could go a few times. They have weekday/Sat counter service and an all you can eat Sunday Brunch. First the counter cafe serves breakfast sandwiches, bakery items made fresh in house, quiche, potato tortilla and the like. The plated dishes come with a side of fresh fruit. Very good variety, fresh and a good value. I'm going to add this cafe to my morning routine stop in for a coffee and scone to go. The Sunday brunch is also excellent. For $18, brunch includes coffee, tea and juice, and there is a good assortment of breakfast items, pastas and salads that change weekly. There is also a fantastic dessert bar. The owner is a local resident who does a lot of the baking and takes pride in his work. Excellent food, excellent value, and a great experience.

Service shouldn't always be judged on being perfect, but how well one resolves any less-than-perfect service. Although the small cafe was taking care of a huge party, the chef was organized enough to have time to help me choose my order. The cashier apologized that he couldn't charge me at the moment since he was knee deep in calculating the large party's check, so he said I could have a seat and would help me later. This was hardly an inconvenience. He then later came to my table and explained my soup would be on the house because of the earlier situation. Would have been ok if I paid then however I did really appreciate the gesture. Ended up ordering a pastry and the baker helped me decide this time too! Excellent service and even if it wasn't, the shrimp bisque and apricot cheese pastry were top notch. Keep it up! Would come back often if I lived closer by.

Good coffee-best iced coffee/ latte in the area right now, great sandwich, price is on par with places around here. Open early but closed Sunday/ Monday so be aware. Great out door seating!
