BREAKFAST

As most of you know, Tom and I enjoy having breakfast out together. We're pretty early risers, and since we only share one day off, breakfast is one of those times that we can just spend time together, without being exhausted after a day of work. So we're always looking for new breakfast places to try out. One place that we'd heard about, but hadn't tried yet was a local neighborhood favorite- Nibs. We'd driven by before, and one morning, we finally decided to check it out.

So apparently Nibs used to be a local chain known for it's hamburgers. Most of them have closed, but this one remains and it's now owned by a Korean family. When we entered, the first thing we noticed was the size- it's tiny. Just a counter with chairs along the left and a handful of tables along the right. When we arrived, all the tables were taken, so we took a seat along the bar. The place was filled with locals, and the service was very friendly.

We started with coffee (which wasn't great, but I didn't expect it to be).
Tom ordered a breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon. We had no idea how massive the portions would be. Here's his below.
I ordered the "mini breakfast" and it was still huge. Just look at it! Of course I didn't finish it, but we both enjoyed it a lot. The food was super cheap, the service was friendly and the food was pretty good. We'll certainly make this place one of our regular spots (and have already been back since our first visit a month ago).
The last breakfast thing I'll show you is this massive breakfast omelette that Tom ordered at another breakfast place- this one down near Fisherman's Wharf, called Darren's Cafe. The thing really is the size of a plate, and stuffed with bbq chicken, cheese and I don't know what else. And the amazing thing is that Tom finished the whole thing. He said he was really hungry that day, which I guess he was.
