LAVERNA'S COFFEE SHOP - TUCSON, AZ

Well, i went back here again; to give the restaurant another try because the prices are so reasonably low, the portions are big, the atmosphere is friendly and cozy and the service is excellent - although the food is sort of bland and just 'ok'.

and i'm sooooo glad i came back. I ordered french toast, scrambled eggs and bacon which were alright but once again tasteless and the bacon was way too salty. However, Chris ordered one of their specialty pancakes - a butter pecan banana - and it was fabulously luxuriously sinfully good.

The pancake is huge; like a flying saucer and there is a thin layer of fluffy pancake dough and then this crunch caramelized brown sugar topping with banana slices. and nothing is overdone; all the flavors balanced and it wasn't sugary sweet. Chris and i both ate from it and we each had some to take home.

The other flavors of pancakes they have include chocolate chip, apple crunch, blueberry and some others i can't remember because i was swimming in the pool of gustatory delight when the waitress was listing the varieties.

And now, of course, i'll have to keep coming back. Who cares if their eggs are tasteless?
