The Perfect Saturday

After an early walk around Lake Harriet there are a number of great places to grab a little brunch.  We ended up at GiGi's Cafe.  We sat outside and it was beautiful.  When you walk into the cafe your nose takes a journey from the fresh coffee, to the eggs and finally to the displayed pastries.  They offer breakfast scrambles with fresh fruit or for lunch panninis, flat breads and other special little finds.

We were told to try the Vegetarian Tamale Pie and the Ginger Peach Ice Tea.  The Tamale was a mix of extremely fresh vegetables on top of a wheat tortilla and served with tortilla chips.  We also tried the Four Cheese Pannini, which was also wonderful.  It had a unique flavor to it which had to be the spread that was used on the wheat bread.  It was served with tasty red potato fries which were seasoned just right.  One of the small jems of the place was the Ginger Peach Ice Tea, it had a fresh taste with a black tea.

The best part of Gigi's is how fresh everything tastes.  You will be able to tell there isn't a lot of grease, which is really refreshing.

When I go back I have to try one of the pastries, they looked too good to resist.
