Had the pleasure of finally checking out the women owned Little Pecan Bistro, and was left far from disappointed. This is a wonderful little cafe in the Brighton area, and I would highly recommend them if you are around and have some time to relax and enjoy a good meal.
I ordered the Buttermilk Pancakes with Macerated Berries & Fresh Whipped Cream, the Brown Sugar Ginger Latte, and got two of their cookies. For what I received, I think that everything was priced fairly (except perhaps the cookies). The pancakes absolutely filled me up and were so good! Exactly as described, though better in person. The latte was definitely something that I ordered out of my comfort zone, yet I still ended up finishing the entire thing and I appreciated the mixture of flavors that they had going on. A hint of spiciness from the ginger bits that were calmed by the brown sugar.
As for the cookies, I had them later on, and they were soft with a bit of crispiness. I liked that they're also topped with sea salt. One of the signs had yet to be updated, and I believe the paper menu as well, so each one was/is $4.50. They make them in-house, yet the cookies could be bigger at that price point. The taste was pretty accurate to how they were described.
Service was fantastic and I'm grateful for all of the amenities that they have to offer which include free wifi, lemon infused water, outlets, and a space to get your own to-go bag and all that. The restaurant was really clean and I like the different seating options (booths, high tops, benches). They have what I would call "elevator music" playing in the background, which is quiet enough to talk over.
The tab came to about $32 before tip. Leaning towards steep, though the quality more than makes up for it as well as their clean looking kitchen which you can peep from the front counter.
If you are driving, (free) street parking is available at the obvious times it would be available close to the joint.
Three solid thumbs up~ Thank you.
