There is nothing better than waking up early in the morning and walking through a sea of flowers at the Los Angeles Flower Market. You are immediately hit by an array of every color imaginable and then some. This place has probably become one of our favorite places. (okay maybe certainly) Its magical in its own way and inspiration pours out at you from every corner (why can't weddings be our full-time jobs??) Anywho, me and Di had gone to get a little inspiration for a wedding Di has lined up this summer, and boy did we! With so much beauty surrounding you, its impossible not to.
After such an early morning, we were both starved and in need of some caffeine. I'd been reading a local magazine that reviewed some of the top places for breakfast and lunch and thought we'd go ahead and try one of them called Blu Jam Cafe. Boy were we lost for words at this place. Amazing, delicious, scrumptious, and indulging, can't even begin to describe the party in our mouths after just one bite! Di ordered the Florentine Benedict: Poached eggs on a toasted English muffin with sautéed fresh spinach, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and brie cheese, topped with hollandaise. Its served with side of potatoes that are so perfectly cooked yet slightly crispy at the same time! The dish has so many amazing components to it, its hard to pick out your favorite ingredients. They blend so well together, as any egg benedict should!
I went for the more traditioanl breakfast: two eggs any style, crispy bacon and two pancakes slices of french toast. The eggs were so perfectly cooked, with soft, runny centers. The bacon was so crispy but not too greasy which is such a rare find. (who really wants grease all over their plates?) And now for the french toast. Hands down the best toast I've ever had, ever! (and that's saying a lot considering I worked at a breakfast joint). It wasn't too sweet or too dense. The real maple syrup definitely added to the perfection of that little french toast.
If you aren't so keen on the breakfast dive type of vibe, then this place is superb and will sure meet your needs. It's got a nice LA urban feel to it. Its even decorated with local artwork that changes every month or so. They serve breakfast until 5 p.m. everyday! I mean come on now you really can't get any better than that. The place even opens up as a Bistro for dinner starting at 6 p.m.
Now go try it and let us know what you think!
Love,
B & Di
