The Posse Does Creekside

5/28/2015

    Inspired by a photo from the 5/12/2015 post,
Picture
...no, not this photo,
...but this one,
Picture
..and this one, too,  shots of Tom's and my breakfasts one morning
Picture
at the Creekside Cafe in Gahanna, myself and two other members of the  Panera Posse decided to go bagel-AWOL this week and meet here instead for breakfast.
Picture
   
Picture
    Being the most regular Creekside customer among the Posse members, I assured my mates as we approached the entrance from the back lot that at 10 am on a Wednesday morning the place wouldn't be too crowded.
    Whoa, did I lie!  The place was packed, inside:

Picture
...and outside, too, on the deck that overlooks the Big Walnut creek:
Picture
     I guess this shouldn't have come as a complete surprise, as it was such a lovely late spring morning and Creekside is always a popular Gahanna spot  for breakfast, brunch or lunch at a reasonable price:
Picture
Picture
...not to mention the je-ne-sais-quoi  yet cozy decor:
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    ...and the pretty view of downtown Gahanna (which was also quite crowded yesterday morning) from the front window:
Picture
    But of course the true draw of the Creekside Cafe is its great food, of which my  Posse Partners and I happily partook:
Picture
I had the traditional breakfast with sunny-side up eggs and whole wheat toast,
Picture
...one of my friends also opted for the traditional breakfast but with her eggs over easy and some beautiful-looking slices of rye toast,
Picture
..while the other prudently settled for the lovely fresh (very fresh!) fruit plate and whole wheat toast.
    Our eggs and bacon were cooked just right, though in truth, the true piece de la resistance of any  Creekside Cafe breakfast platter is always the fried potatoes.
    Nobody does fried potatoes like the Creekside:
Picture
Picture
    And though I'm not a coffee drinker my colleagues assured me that the coffee was soooo good and rich.
    One caveat:  The Creekside Cafe is not the place to come for a quick meal: the service is slow, as only one server, friendly,  hard-working Scott, with the help of several busy busers, waits on us all.
    So if you come to Creekside, plan on wiling away an hour or more chatting with friends or just enjoying the ambiance.
Picture
    After our fine and satisfying breakfast at the Creekside Cafe the Posse and I mosied on into the consignment shop next door,
Picture
Picture
    ...a cute place full of neat stuff:
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    I fell prey to this $50 mirror,
Picture
Picture
...which now hangs in my in my family room.
                                                              And I guess that's the end. 8)

Patti, is that sculpture in the last photo new? I was at Creekside Cafe on Tuesday after a long absence and noticed it, but didn't remember it from previous visits.

I'm not sure, Frank, but it probably is kind of new because people were stopping to comment on it. As I passed it on my way ot the restaurant one older gentleman who'd stopped to look at it turned to me and asked me if it was supposed to be art. I replied that I thought it was. I like, it actually, do you?
