The French sisters who opened Café Deux on Halstead Ave. in Harrison give their layback space French flair and elegance. The mini white dog bone basketweave floor tiles, add to the charm. But best of all, is the lighting that's both warm and hugs you in. I'd read about Deux in my Westchester Magazine about a year ago- so I waited for the right time to sit and lounge for breakfast. The quality did not disappoint.
Instantly, their 'Soft Scrambled Eggs' with Gruyère, Tarragon and Chives from their menu called me. What I received was an omelette. Not complaining. Their omelette is golden yellow, buttery, soft, almost custardy throughout. I mean- the thing was just luxurious. Their hot cocoa is subtle and was a nice addition to my breakfast. I also ordered their Farmer's Vegetarian Quiche with Mushrooms(fresh by the way), Spinach and Gruyère to go which I ate the following afternoon. Fantastic.
Except, the lines of communication crossed between my server and the kitchen and what they understood was that I wanted all my items to go. Why would I sit and get comfortable? Somehow, my server mentioned that if someone is dining in and order a to-go item, everything is packaged in to-go containers. What the ....? Unheard of. So right then and there as I sat in this delightful café, I emptied my omelette from the container and place it on my plate. Do take note though.
I really don't mind returning because both my items were richly made. Plus, their version of chocolate truffles had wonderful pops of ooze in the middle. I'd gotten a coconut+lime, salted caramel and raspberry that were silky smooth and dark chocolatey.
