long beach breakfast tour no. 2

welcome back!
after our delicious breakfast last week--alex and i stood loyal in continuing this yummy adventure. we received a few comments from friends, and we listened to one of alex's friends recommendation to go to The Potholder Cafe, located at Broadway and Euclid, in Long Beach.
This cafe was nestled in a neighborhood, too--but i'm not gonna lie, alex and i were less than pleased with the place as a whole.
we arrived, and were directed to sit "anywhere" but the only suitable tables for 2 that were unoccupied were in a dark room of the restuarant. confused, we proceeded to sit at a table that could sit 10. with elvis behind me, and an indian man next to alex, we opened the menu, and scoured for our meal choice.
the menu had 2 options for breakfast ordering, and 1 page for lunch/dinner. the feisty waitress came over twice to ask if were ready, when we clearly weren't. i settled for the bacon, egg and french toast combo plate-alex ordered the scramble, with a side of corn tortillas.

as you can tell by the picture, there wasn't much love put into our meal. the scramble was lacking flavor, and my combo plate was lacking yumminess. the potholder's also need to work on their coffee making skills--on the other list of things i would change about this diner. it was 50% harbor house decor+50% random. the food was a 3 on a scale to 10.

not to be critical or anything (ha!) but i wouldn't eat there again--or recommend it.

sorry potholder cafe, but i choose starling diner so far.
