I'm a fan of the decor. The wood tables and chairs are contrasted sharply by the industrial ceiling and sidings indicating the kitchen.


Quite the alcohol selection. The server was very in tune with the specials of the day. The strawberry pancakes were tempting but the savory egg option won out.






Coffee drip tastes familiar. Moderate in strength, not very bitter. Learned from my server that it's La Barba's Charming Beard.



Chorizo Sausage Eggs Special 
The Chorizo has a good texture to it. Oftentimes I am presented mushy Chorizo and I can't help but feel cheated. This was not the case. There are large morsels of Chorizo that seem to bite back. The potato is nice and hearty: still has a good starch to it, so you can tell that it's fresh and that it hasn't been cooked and sitting in juice all day. The white globs up top are not sour cream! They're actually eggs. It was a very pleasant surprise. The artichoke had a nice faint crispness to it, a great change from the limp artichoke petals found elsewhere.

The egg dish was filling but there's a spot in my stomach that requires some attention that only dessert can fulfill. The server came to the rescue with the Mascarpone Cheesecake.


The cheesecake is a refreshing change from the massive wedges of heavy regret. The Gelato atop the cheesecake is an excellent palate cleanser, shifting you gently from the world of savory to sweet. The cheesecake doesn't feel heavy nor too rich. It is simple and elegant, a mildly sweet monument to the cheesecake ideal. 

The graham crust is one of my favorite parts of cheesecake. The placement of graham crumbs around the plate allows you to experience every bite with that little graham helping hand. The little apple chunks provide a mild assurance that, though you're eating dessert, at least there's a little healthy fruit to balance it out, right?

Cafe Trio is an incredible place to grab brunch. The egg dish was excellent, the coffee is local, and the dessert won't make you feel bad for the entire day. What more can you ask for? Cafe Trio Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato
