The Well

I'm seriously going to have to change the description of this blog soon. As it has worked out, Kimmy has opted out of Sundays because she hates waking up on her first day off each week. Meanwhile, Rozi always works at 9am on Sundays, so Sunday's are pretty much Cam + Jesse + whoever day. Meanwhile, I'm off Tuesday, while Kimmy and Rozi don't work until noon, so Tuesdays are Kimmy + Rozi + Jesse + whoever day. Got that? I think that I've got it now too. (haha)

Anyway, on that note, for the first Tuesday Breakfast, Kimmy made the choice of a little cafe on Main Street and 14th Avenue (3048 Main St), known as The Well. I've walked past it a number of times, but have never actually stopped to see what it is. I was the first to arrive, so I sat down at a table by the door and ordered a coffee ($2.75 with refills) from the very pleasant server. She also handed me a menu to look at, so I took a gander. It was a simple, one-sided menu, so the options were limited and pricey. There were a few omelettes, a "traditional" breakfast and a couple of scrambles. Otherwise, it was sandwiches and pasta to choose from this morning. On one hand, it was a warning that the taste of the food would be limited like the options on the menu. On the other hand, perhaps they limited the menu so that they could excel at the food that they made. I hoped for the latter of the two.

Just as I finished with the menu, Kimmy arrived and sat down with me. She ordered a coffee and took a look at the menu. Not long after she sat down, Rozi came in the door. She sat down beside me and ordered a peppermint tea. Rozi has been on a no eggs/meat kick for a little while, so she was immediately a bit disappointed in the menu. All of the breakfast options involved eggs, so she went straight for the sandwich section. This proved to be a far more suitable section for her dietary wants/needs. So, the server came back and took our orders. Kimmy went with a Well's Enchiladas, Rozi took a Primavera Sandwich and I chose a Western Omelette. The server took our menus, put our orders in and brought refills of coffee. She was soft-spoken, very pleasant and attentive.

It was mere minutes until our plates came to the table. I knew that we were in for some delicious eats the moment that I saw the food. My omelette was huge, like the Titanic of omelettes, filled with lots of veggies and ham. Kimmy's enchilada looked awesome, as well, all covered in veggies and sour cream. In fact, Rozi went so far as to say, "Your plates make me want to like eggs again!" Of course, her sandwich looked scrumptious at the same time. All of our meals came with a selection of fresh fruit (honeydew, strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, etc) and pan fries (minus Rozi's). Not just little pieces of fruit, but all-out slices and bunches, and they all looked/tasted great. The actual meals were right up to snuff, as well; flavourful, filling and all of that jazz. All three of us cleaned our plates in no time, all the while getting a number of refills from our server.

After tips, all of our bills came out to roughly $20, so this was one of the more pricey places that The Team has visited. At the same time, it was very well-worth every penny. Awesome food, awesome service and a nice, calm atmosphere. Even the cook peeked out of the kitchen to ask us how our meals were. It's that kind of stuff that really makes me like any restaurant. It adds a face to the experience and the food. If you happen to be kicking around Main Street and need some good food, breakfast or otherwise, I whole-heartedly suggest The Well to you.

Stay sharp, kids
