Burns Court continues to surprise us. On our way to the Farmer’s Market, we spotted Fresh Start Café at 630 N. Orange, serving home-made baked goods, and savory egg dishes. The indoor dining area was pleasantly populated at 8;30 am with walking distance patrons – all in cheerful Saturday mode.
The menu focuses on breakfast items and gorgeous salads, artisanal greens, berries and nuts. For lunch the Mediterranean Wrap is absolutely mouth watering: roasted eggplant, tahini, pickle and tomato nestle into a flour tortilla like a food lover’s dream still life. On the side, stuffed grape leaves with Kalamata olives. Most importantly there is an outdoor patio area, seating 25-30 that is dog-friendly. – and shady in spots.
Parking is behind the building. And the patio’s plantings provide a nice green, screen from the street.
Before or after the Market, Fresh Start Cafè is a must!
