Seb's Market Cafe

People had been telling us about Seb’s for some time. Kate has been for lunch / dinner, but this was our first time for brunch.

The place was packed (a good sign) and we waited about 10 minutes, but there are a lot of things to look at in the meantime—a corner with food stuffs and kitchen supplies, and drooling over the pie case.

Service was good, and the food came relatively quickly. The menu is big, with lots of base options that you can add to or have combinations with—e.g. omelettes, eggs, special eggs benny with your choice of three sauces. I had the eggs any style with a 6oz steak….for under $10.

I asked for the steak medium rare, and it came perfectly prepared: a nice little round chunk of steak, good and tender.

The coffee is about the only thing that could be said to be expensive, at $2.50 for drip…but the coffee is also fantastic, and still an inexpensive meal considering the cheap and filling main dishes.

Homemade jam, toasted sourdough rye, and a selection of hot sauces complete the experience. Highly recommended for breakfast, I definitely want to go back and try out a lunch or dinner.

Nice atmosphere, good food, the deserts (we shared three types of cake—chocolate layer cake, chocholate espresso cheesecake, and pecan carrot cake—among 6 people) and a jazz band at 7 PM. At least when I went there: they covered The Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” at one point. The band was a little bit too loud for conversation, but on the other hand, they were too loud for anybody to hear me singing, out of tune no doubt, “all the lonely people / where do they all come from?”. I was a little confused that I had to exit a different way than I came in, as the band played right at the front door.
