Homemade Orange Butter

New Year, and new specials. Sweet Potato Pancakes with homemade Orange Compound Butter.

To be clear: we add sweet potato to the pancakes, top them with the Orange Butter and a slice of orange, and serve you some of the most amazing pancakes you’ve ever tasted.

Oh, don’t worry. We still give you a pitcher of locally tapped, 100% pure New York Maple Syrup so you can sweeten to taste. And when I say taste, I mean plenty of that great Carmen’s flavor.

2014 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 40,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 15 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Best of Both Worlds

Eggs–pancakes, eggs–pancakes, can’t decide? How about Hole-In-One Pancakes? With a side of bacon, thanks!

From Carmen’s Café, bringing you great breakfasts all day since 2004

Steak and Eggs

OK, Steak & Egg, be a noodge. I asked Carmen to make me a mini.

Perennial Carmen’s favorite returns! Hurry up, they are going fast.

Huevos Benedictus

What better breakfast is there, and it’s great any time of the day!

Huevos Benedictus normally comes two to the plate, with home fries. Carmen thought we could get by with just one (diets, you know). Ha! We just put in the order for another pair.

They are so good, we should order another pair APIECE.

Bouillaibasse

Rich, full bodied flavor in a traditional seafood stew.

Clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp & whitefish in an herbed broth over saffron rice.

The most amazing apple pancakes in the world

Seriously, you have to taste these to believe them. They are s-o-o-o-o far over the top it’s incredible!

Is that the Energizer Bunny or a Cortado?

Both, actually.

Strong and bitter and sweet, just the way you like it.

Bloody Mary

The perfect way to start your weekend brunch: try a bloody Mary, Mimosa, or Cosmopolitan Carmen’s!

Elizabeth Kasius & Heard

Oh my Lord, they are SWEET!

Light and playful, loose and complex and simple and tight—. Whatever it needs, that’s how they play it.
