On my way to dropping my friends off at the local Red Bull Soap Box Derby this past weekend, I ducked into Citizen Cake for some early morning brunch. For some reason Citizen Cake has slipped off the list of top brunch places in the City, but sitting down for a quick omelette on Saturday, I had no idea why. The ratatouille omelette with soft puddles of slightly sour fromage blanc melted in my mouth. Yes, the crowd is a bit on the older side (is it the nearby symphony?), and the service is a occasionally spotty, but Citizen Cake definitely makes the grade.
If you have been recently, the restaurant renovated the space next door and has opened a patisserie filled with scrumptious cupcakes, cookies and gelato. The carrot cupcake is my favorite.
