Mmmmmmm ...

Farry and Barrah took me to a new brunch place this morning (at least, a new one to me), and all I can say is "mmmmmmm..." Mel's Commonwealth Cafe is located on Rte. 30 as you're going from Waltham to Natick, and man, is it ever worth the drive. It's a nice place, and sure, it was Easter, but it wasn't overly crowded at 11:30 on a Sunday morning. I wasn't able to have what I wanted — Fried Dough French Toast, which sounded so good, because they'd just run out minutes earlier — so Plan B was a dish called Country Inn French Toast, which was a moist, sweet French Toast made with a cinnamon swirl bread. Mmmmmmm ... I'd have shared it, but I just couldn't bear to part with a single piece. Barry had a Philly Cheese Steak Omelette, and that too looked good, as did the Yogurt Waffle that Farrah had. (I mention what we all had not to rat anyone out, but to show some of the yummy options because two of these three are not on the online menu.) I'm definitely going back to Mel's, and I hope I do so soon. It's nice to have another great brunch option besides Johnny's. Mmmmmmm ...!!
