Best pancakes/griddlecakes...ever

by nasaguy

You may have a hard time getting into the place (as I waited for a table, I watched several patrons momentarily struggle to figure out which way the door opened...in or out). Once you manage to get inside though, you'll notice that the place isn't much to look at. Ignore the decor. Grab a seat, take a moment to look over the menu as a courtesy to the kitchen staff, and order the griddlecakes. My brunch date had it right when she recommended I try them. Although the 3 or 4 griddlecakes look pretty ordinary, they're actually as far from ordinary as you can get; they're made of buttery cornbread with fresh, whole blueberries inside. I made the mistake of topping them with maple syrup; don't waste the time or calories. These babies don't need it. Order them and see for yourself.

• Pros: griddlecakes, low cost
• Cons: iffy service, decor, no separate waiting area

Wow - 13 years and still going strong

by lilybart80

The food once again floored me. The flavors are new, fresh exciting. The combinations - flavors, textures - wonderful!!

Take a Californian here - a Bay Area foodie - and show them how truly creative Asian/Mexican food can be.

Fresh ingredients, unusual combinations and strong selection of small batch sodas and juices.

• Pros: Delicious, Innovative, Fantastic Value

My Favorite Brunch Spot

by sp96apple

I discoeverd the Bright about 2 years ago and have been hooked ever since. The Mexican French toast are scrumptious, the pancakes are hands down the best pancakes I ever had, and to top it off it's one of the few places I can drink a Chicha Morada (Peruvian beverage made of purple corn). The staff is super friendly and you never feel like your being rushed through your meal.
