My wife and I bought a Groupon for the Thomas Avenue Beverage Company, not really knowing anything about it, only that it was in Uptown Dallas and looked pretty cool from the website. We decided to check it out one Sunday without our daughter Alexis, so we could check out their Brunch. I half expected it to be super crowded and requiring at least a 30 minute wait as many brunch venues can get on a Sunday in Dallas. After finding a lucky parking spot right across the street we were able to walk right in and sit right away out on their large wood deck out back which had huge shade trees and was really nice. While I was tempted by their Bloody Maries and bottomless mimosas (I know right), I decided to pass and get a cup of Lavazza coffee which I had not had until my last trip to Morocco. I was really leaning towards their chicken and waffles , having seen some being served, or their breakfast tacos, but I decided to "settle" on their eggs benedict. Now coming from a big foodie family I have extensive experience in tasting and partaking in Hollandaise sauce and eggs benedict so I normally do not order it at restaurants. But I decided to give them a chance and order it up. My wife Lori ordered the pancakes with eggs and bacon and maple pecan butter. The weather was perfect, there was football playing on the outdoor TV's, and I was really able to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Our food came out and everything looked awesome. My eggs benedict was not the traditional version consisting of Texas toast, Canadian bacon, fried eggs, and spicy Hollondaise sauce. The eggs were done perfectly and the spiciness in the sauce was perfect. I debated not eating both of my eggs, but that did not happen. I tried my wife's pancakes with the maple pecan butter and they were amazing as well.
We have not made it there for lunch or dinner yet but we will definitely be making the trip to try them out soon. We highly recommend the Thomas Avenue Beverage Company for brunch.
