We went in the middle of the week to avoid the weekend crowd. There was no wait and there was one very efficient waitress serving the entire place. She took our order right away and we were happy with how quickly our food was ready.

I ordered the huevos rancheros and O.E. got the 3-egg ham & cheddar omelette.

The base of the huevos rancheros was perfectly crispy tortillas, and on top of it were layered beans, two perfectly cooked over-easy eggs, shredded cheddar, and salsa. The portion size was huge. Overall the flavor was really good; however the salsa was a little bland and this is coming from someone who cannot handle spicy food. Just a little bit more seasoning or flavor would have been nice.

Both of our meals came with hashbrowns. They were just okay. Normally we love crispy hashbrowns, but these seemed a little over-cooked in some spots and undercooked in others, and tasted a little burned.

Over-Easy (a.k.a. OE) and I went for a walk on a recent summer morning and decided to stop at Batch Bakehouse. Batch is located at the corner of Dickinson and Williamson Street. OE has a soft-spot for chocolate croissants and wanted to see if they had one. Boy did they have a chocolate croissant — and so many other goodies!

The case was filled the a huge variety of delicious looking pastries and breads. I am a carb addict and this place looked like heaven to me! Everything was displayed on pretty plates with hand written signs at various heights. The place seemed squeaky clean and the staff was very nice and accommodating. One of the girls was just getting off work and was getting some treats for herself. She pointed out some her favorites too.

Somehow we resisted ordering one of everything and shared a pain au chocolate (chocolate croissant) and it was DELICIOUS!

It tasted super fresh and the chocolate was outstanding. On our way out the door, I drooled over what I’ll try next time we stop by. I can’t wait to taste the ham & gruyere croissant or one of their mini-pies (I’m a sucker for a good pecan pie!). Pie is an acceptable breakfast food, right?

Bonus: They have a chart on their website listing which days certain breads are available. I’ll for sure be going on a Sunday to grab a loaf of Sourdough and some Pretzels. 🙂

Rating: Even though we’ve only tried one thing from Batch Bakehouse, we’re giving them ONE DOZEN EGGS.

Best chocolate croissant I’ve had and we can’t wait to go back!
