MARVELOUS MELROSE CAFE
When I was trying to find a brunch place near Olympic and Laurel Canyon, Blue Daisy Cafe popped up. Since the Yelp reviews were stellar, we decided to go. We entered through the cool Palihotel Melrose on the corner of Melrose and Hayvenhurst, where the cafe has indoor seating, but we opted for a 2-top in the lovely, outdoor covered area along the side street. I dread those ridiculous QR codes when it comes to ordering, so I requested an old school menu, which they promptly provided. Because I like to eat a variety of things, the Breakfast Combo ($19) had my name on it. Since you get 3 eggs any style, I asked for scrambled. From the meat choices - bacon, turkey bacon, beef sausage patty - I chose the turkey bacon. For carbs, I went with the french toast with fruit instead of the pancakes. The eggs were perfectly scrambled, the bacon was tasty, and the french toast, topped with fresh strawberries and bananas was light and fluffy. Everything was so good, I cleaned my plate. My companion opted for the Iced Tea ($5) and the 3 Eggs Scrambled with Lox ($20), which she loved. Service can be a bit a slow, but this is a delightful place for a languorous brunch. Color me happy.
