So far, the summer in Buffalo has been questionable at best. Sometimes it's been warm, but we've had a few weekends where it has been outright cold and rainy, leaving the option for a patio brunch off the list. When it comes to brunch and cool weather, outdoor seating isn't the only thing that goes off my list. I don't want eat anything light and I want to be someplace that will pick my mood up by simply sitting there.
In my world, Betty's fits that bill exactly. With its warm and vibrant colors, it makes you feel just a little more at home when having a meal with family, friends, or even by yourself. Betty's is open for breakfast on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and brunch on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The breakfast menu itself is an eclectic mix of foods and there is an additional Sunday Brunch menu. Patrons can find everything from granola to a variety of breakfast sandwiches, and vegetarians can even enjoy the Tofu Hash (this dish can easily be made vegan-friendly with the substitution of a grilled pita in the place of toast).
Since it was cold and rainy on the day we visited, I really wanted something warm and comforting to lift my spirits. My daughter and I arrived around 10:30, and I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that there was no wait and ample, empty seating. The Sunday Brunch menu for the day included two different variations of quiche, a Stuffed Strawberry French Toast Casserole, and a Vegetarian Hash, to name just a few.
I ordered the quiche with asparagus and artichokes, and my daughter chose the Strawberry French Toast Casserole. Both dishes arrived, each garnished with a side of fresh fruit. The quiche was delectable with its creamy eggs, crunchy asparagus, and flaky crust. The French Toast Casserole was a perfect comfort food for the day. The portion was rather large, enough that both my daughter and I had some and there were still leftovers. It was warm and sweet with an almond streusel topping, adding just a bit of crunch. Overall, it was just what the day called for.
If you haven't been to Betty's then you really need to get there. The service is friendly, helpful, and prompt. Though I only briefly touched on what we ordered that day, I have yet to go to Betty's for breakfast or brunch and be disappointed.
