Another place I pass by way too many times before actually going into is Joan’s on Third. For being in a somewhat small space, Joan’s has much to offer. This is a one-stop shop for eating breakfast or lunch, picking up a few pastries or desserts, and even going grocery shopping for some gourmet items.
I can never turn down breakfast if it is offered and is my first meal of the day. It was probably lunch time but, of course, I only looked at the breakfast menu. I ordered heartiest item on the menu: the New York breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs, bacon, and monterey jack cheese in between two pieces of country bread and toasted to perfection. I personally thought the sandwich should have only had cheese on one side since it seemed to become the main focus after biting into the deliciously, crispy toast. Other than that, it was a pretty ordinary breakfast sandwich.
On the way out, I had to grab a couple treats for the road. The star of the show was the Orange Chipotle Caramel Popcorn. Yes, all those flavors were on one piece of popcorn. When I first put a couple pieces in my mouth, I tasted the sweetness of the orange and the caramel. Literally 3 seconds or so after I already consumed the popcorn, the spicy notes of the chipotle hit the back of my tongue. The 1-2 punch of the popcorn really is puts it on another level of flavors. It is difficult to explain how the all the flavors truly excite your various taste buds. I dread the day when this bag is empty.
