Fonte Coffee Roaster & Wine Bar

So, return of the blog! Yay! Background info: I was away for a while and not going out to eat much, hence the lack of recent posts. I'd had some pretty horrible nausea due to 1st trimester pregnancy issues. However, I've been feeling a lot better lately and hope to get the blog going again before it goes on another hiatus after the babies come. I've been taking pictures of a few places we've been to over the last few months, but have just been too lazy to post. So, I'm behind! I'll catch up over the next 4-5 posts or so, with only brief descriptions (as the details are sketchy at this point). Hope to be back to normally scheduled, excessive descriptions of food soon.

So here goes, Fonte is a small little coffee shop right across from the Seattle Art Museum (and previous neighbor of the Lusty Lady). We went here for Mother's Day back in May for brunch and were pleasantly surprised. Their menu is relatively small, and has classics such as pastries and egg dishes. They also boast a few surprises such as a Vegan Tofu Hash, Polenta Waffles, Crabcake Benedict, Duck Confit Hash, etc.

My choice of the day: Pork Belly Benedict with hollandaise, breakfast potatoes, and argula salad. I am a sucker for pork belly, and was so happy to see this as an option for my morning meal. The hollaindaise was not too heavy, but flavorful. Nice portions of moist pork belly. Totally coming back for this dish some time.

So David got a breakfast sandwich. I can't recall if it's the same one on the current menu, (fried egg, soppresetta salami, avocado, argula, tomato), but it was good. :)

Evan had the pancakes with blueberry compote. Now, pancakes are generally pancakes.. but these were probably some of the best pancakes I'd ever had. Amazing... and Evan approved.
