Penny Cluse Cafe

So I rarely get excited to have breakfast out. I am usually happy with some cereal at home in my pajamas. However, my experience at Penny Cluse Cafe in Burlington, Vermont, makes me want to recognize that maybe breakfast is more exciting than I had always believed. It is a cute breakfast and lunch spot, open daily until 3pm. The crowds come out to eat there. I actually caved in and waited over 1 1/2 hours to eat some eggs. And let me tell you, it was the right decision. The service was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was casual and inviting, with simple decorations. 

Their menu is simple. It has the basics of any good breakfast spot. There are lots of egg dishes, pancakes, and french toast, among other things. We both ordered the same dish, the Penny Cluse, which is two eggs, with biscuits soaked in homemade gravy, and potatoes. I substituted fresh fruit in for the potatoes, which had a bunch of different fruits on the plate. I had watermelon, plum, peach, pineapple, strawberry, and grapefruit. The best part of the Penny Cluse breakfast was the gravy they serve, that is like nothing I have had before. It is unique, flavorful, and very hearty. Go there and order the Penny Cluse breakfast. It might change your life or at least make you happy while you eat it.
