| Bacon Quiche & side salad |
So we had a great idea in mind for Saturday breakfast, a place we had been several years ago and really enjoyed. It had been a while, and this restaurant was several miles out of Pittsburgh on the Parkway West. It was a cute little place, out in the middle of nowhere, at one of those intersections with not much else around. We took a couple wrong turns with our fuzzy location memory, but enjoyed a nice country drive in Collier Township (see some pics below.) When we finally found our intended destination, we were sad to see it had been converted into an Irish pub. Not that there's anything wrong with an Irish pub, of course, but just not for breakfast!
Disappointed, but getting pretty hungry, we headed straight to the closest center of population which happened to be Bridgeville. And in their main street business district we found LaBella Bean Coffee House and Eatery.
Now clearly LaBella Bean does not claim to be a breakfast place, but we're always flexible. So we picked the most breakfasty food on the menu, which was quiche - choice of ham, veggie or bacon. (Of course when we got our food, we laughed to realize the only difference is in the toppings - same quiche, just topped with either ham, bacon or veggies.) Since it's really intended as a brunch menu item, it also came with a tasty side salad with balsamic dressing. (A far cry from our typical greasy-spoon, pancakes & french toast Saturday breakfast!) Husband also ordered a banana mango smoothie to go with a chai tea, and I couldn't resist a sampler of homemade cookies with my walnut flavored green tea.
I really liked the character of the shop. It's rather spacious, with many seating areas, including some over-sized chairs along with tables and some bar-type seating. And being right on the main drag it really has that city-coffee-shop feel.
Here's the peaceful little place we stopped while "lost" this-morning.
