Sunny Table at Stable

Stable Cafe is as groovy as it gets. A beautiful space, once a carriage house, now home to a collective of local businesses; the old hayloft houses an architecture firm. You can eat upstairs or down, or in a small garden outside. Today we had brunch by the window, admiring the cool space and artful plates. JP had the Pomba, which is a huge slice of home-made bread with a hole cut in the middle; said hole is filled with scrambled eggs (which, judging from adorable photos tacked up nearby, come from happy local chickens). Draped across the top is melted Brie and crisp bacon; the bread hole is served alongside, so you don't feel cheated. Me, I had the bowl of oatmeal, which is topped with granola, maple syrup, chopped pecans and bits of fruit: banana, apple, blackberries. It filled me up, and what better to eat in a stable than a steaming bowl of oats? Giddyap.
