SBRRP installment 4: Off-Campus Café

Off-Campus Café is NOT on South Boulder Road, but I had to include a couple of outliers that are on the south end of town and are not near any other restaurants. This place is just south of the medical complex on Campus Drive. It's popular with people who work on the campus, and I have heard others mention it as a favorite breakfast and lunch spot (it closes at 2:30 on weekdays and 2:00 on weekends). We had never been there before, and we decided to go for breakfast, which they serve until 11. We arrived at 10 a.m., which was a nice quiet time on a Friday morning. 

 We were all very pleased with our food. Our dining companion ordered "The Usual Suspect," a traditional Benedict with ham and an English muffin with hash browns on the side. I ordered the "KGB" Benedict, with house-made smoked salmon on potato-leek latkes with chives and hollandaise, topped with roasted pickled beets and with a house-made biscuit on the side. I think the jam might have been house-made too. This was an amazing dish! The latkes stayed crisp even under the eggs. I wonder how they do that? The salmon was tender, and the beets were a nice flavor note. G ordered French toast (maple nutmeg brioche with cinnamon and orange) with a side of bacon. The server told us the brioche is made by a local bakery, and G said it was delicious. We all ate everything on our plates, which is a testimonial to how good it was. We'll be back to try the lunch menu and more breakfast options!

"KGB" Benedict: potato latkes, house-made smoked salmon, poached eggs, hollandaise, roasted pickled beets. Amazing! House-made biscuit on the side.

The steam wasn't really pink, but I thought the effect was fun. I liked the round Off-Campus Cafe mugs. 

This says it all--backward.
