Grizzly Eats: Gjelina
Let’s see if I can write this post without drooling. Gjelina blew our minds. We shared a lazy Saturday breakfast that was outrageously, insanely delicious. Scrumptious. Almost… utopian. Do you see those pancakes? They were like clouds. Melt-in-your-mouth lemon ricotta clouds topped with fresh raspberries and real maple syrup. I can’t even come up with the adjectives to describe this breakfast adequately so I’ll just let the pictures do the talking…
Bacon date scone with housemade preserves and butter.
Smooth, velvety cappuccino. Side of Niman Ranch bacon.
Moroccan baked eggs with Merguez sausage, chili, tomato sauce, cilantro & spiced yogurt.
This is the kind of food that makes you feel good about life. I promise you’ll be blissfully content and ready to embrace the rest of your day… or maybe just sink into a delicious afternoon nap.

We actually walked right in and were seated. We showed up around 11am on Saturday morning expecting a line (it was labor day weekend). Called earlier in the week and found out that they only take breakfast reservations for groups of 8 or more. Meaning, you’re way more likely to get a table in the AM when dropping by than for dinner which typically needs reservations at least a week in advance.

[...] an appetite if you pay BLD a visit. Both were tasty, but our brunch bar had been set so high by Gjelina that BLD fell just a bit short. We’ll have to give lunch or dinner a try, just to see if it [...]
