We missed the breakfast quest last weekend because we’ve both been sick. So to make up for it, we hit Waffles up on Friday. Well worth the long lunch break from work.

We started our Breakfast Quest this morning heading to Old Oak Tap. A few slight diversions and u-turns later we wound up at Flying Saucer instead. All I can say is that this tiny place is amazing! Toni’s parents came with us and gave it two thumbs up.
