Saturday Mornings

Corner Bakery Cafe Hazelnut Cream Coffee

I'd like to dedicate a post to Saturday mornings. They're my favorite day & time of the week. If it's not a drill day (the weekends when we have to go work out at the Air Guard), we have a pretty standard routine—sleep in, gym, brunch. It's perfect.

Now, truth be told, we don't truly sleep in—we wake up at 7:00 am, but compared to our weekday routine, that's sleeping in! After tossing and turning and finally deciding to get up, we get into our gym clothes, take our pre-workout supplements, and head off to the gym. After working out for 45-or-so-minutes, we start eye-balling each other and scheming about where our breakfast spot is going to be. Blue Sky Bagels? Rembrandts? Wild West Cafe? Bar de Nay? There are so many choices and we always leave with full, happy tummies.

But this past Saturday, we tried something new. And boy, were we impressed. Conveniently located in the same parking lot as our gym, we stopped by Corner Bakery Cafe—a brand new addition to The Village at Meridian. I know other cities across the US have this cafe, but it's brand new for us, and we are so glad it's here!

Surprised at how big their menu is, and bummed that they had run out of my daily breakfast staple of oatmeal (apparently, it's very popular!), I opted for the first breakfast item I could spot—the Anaheim Scrambler. It's loaded with goodies like avocado, applewood smoked bacon, and green onions... yum! Daniel ordered a plate of pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon. Both of our meals were divine and I topped mine off with a big cup of their Hazelnut Cream coffee. It was all so good!

Thanks, Corner Bakery, for treating Daniel and me to an awesome breakfast and amazing service. I don't know who picked your Meridian staff members, but each of them was kind, helpful and truly caring. They made our experience great!

Next time I want to try a panini or one of their giant soup bread bowls. Several people ordered them while we were there and they looked so delicious! If you live near a Corner Bakery Cafe, be sure to stop in and try something on the menu. And if you're looking for a sweet treat, their bakery display case won't leave you hanging—they've got sweet and savory goods galore.

Yum, Corner Bakery. Just yum. I think I like Saturday mornings even more now that you're in town.

Quick question: what pre-workout supplements do you take? What do you recommend? I've considered starting to take them for a while, I just don't where to start!

I used to work right next to a Corner Bakery Cafe for a while...and absolutely loved their oatmeal! You have to give it a try! It made me actually look forward to Monday mornings ;)

Aunie said...

That place looks AMAZING!

There's a Corner Bakery Cafe not far from my in-laws' house in Denver, and it's fantastic! We're fans.

Allison, I just take a caffeine pill from Allmax Nutrition before my workout and a vanilla protein mixed with water from Trutein post-workout. I try to keep it as simple as possible so I know exactly what I'm taking. Most people take a pre-workout supplement like a pill or powder mix, but those tend to have too much caffeine or make me feel weird and tingly so I try to avoid them. Another good idea is drinking a cup of tea or coffee before a workout--that's usually my favorite!

Aunie said...

Yum! No kidding. Now I'm craving it again!

Aunie said...

Thank you, Pamela! Scored it at Marshall's for about $15!!

Aunie said...

Cross your fingers for one soon! They're going up all over :)

Aunie said...

Oh man, now I want to go try one! Thanks Vicki!! :)

Aunie said...

Well oatmeal is my FAVORITE morning breakfast, so I will have to get over there and try it! Which one is the best?

Aunie said...

Yum! You must try next time you're around one!
