Bijou, Cafe
I’m so horrible!! I went to Bijou, Cafe like a MONTH ago and just now am getting around to posting. Can you stand it? It’s not like I have better things to do with my life…… Bijou, Cafe is known for it’s french omelets. What is a french omelet, you say?? Well, it’s just like a regular omelet. Except the inside is still fluffy and soft. Basically, you may think it’s undercooked, but they assure you, it is fully cooked. You get this effect by stirring the top layer of the omelet while the bottom is forming a skin. If you love runny eggs, you will love this omelet. If you prefer your eggs like me, hard, ask for the omelet “dry” and they will cook it even more thoroughly.
Bijou, Cafe is definitely hip and chic. In a big farmhouse homey kind of way. They use Nustevia instead of fake sugar (bonus points for them in natural food heaven) and mostly organic food. ( I actually think they use all organic, but forgot to check, so can’t actually say for sure.) I love the fresh cream on the table, in a little jug…. makes me feel like a tea party. Did your mom ever let you use milk in your tea set for your tea parties? My mom never did…. I had the Farmer’s omelet, and, while I can eat the omelet French style, I think next time I will definitely ask for “dry”. I just can’t get over the undercooked egg feeling. It had bacon, goat cheese, green onions… pretty good, but again, these chic places (read=Cadillac Cafe) are all into the smaller size omelets. I suppose it’s a “correct serving” size omelet. But they just look puny sometimes. Caleb had the Cypress omelet, which had potatoes in it, so his was a little bigger, it’s the one in the picture. (Imagine mine smaller than that.) Suprisingly, neither of us ate the potatoes, so can’t comment there… they offer toast or fresh made blueberry muffin, too. The orange juice is just pure heaven, fresh squeezed, the kind when you were a kid you would put your fork through it to collect the pulp. ( I suppose that if you were to do that as an adult, you would probably get funny looks. Go ahead and try it though.) Cool waiter, he was perfectly efficient, although there was a strange girl who’s only job as far as I could tell was filling water… in about a 7 min period, she filled my water 4 times. I guess I drink a lot of water. Ok, so I was purposely drinking a lot of water to see how many times she would come. During weekday mornings, you see this place filled with suit-n-ties doing “power breakfasts.” Bijou, Cafe is located at 132 SW Third Ave, open M-F 7am-2pm, Sa-Su 8am-2pm. 
PS, another funny picture was taken at Bijou, Cafe. I call this “Abusive wife or waxing gone wrong?”
