I used to live in the building where Greenhouse Cafe is located, so I thought I'd try it out. Reviews were all spectacular, so my expectations were pretty high coming in for breakfast this morning.
I got the breakfast burrito with no additions, so it was as listed: scrambled eggs, black beans, pico de gallo, guac, cheddar, and cilantro.
They cut it in half, and the half I started with had no guac or cheddar and just a few black beans. (Mid meal, I began writing a bad review because I thought it was missing key ingredients. Then I got to the other half, and discovered the guac and cheddar and a good potion of beans.) When I finished the other half, I was quite happy with it all together. Extremely tasty and fresh. Very satisfied.
To the kitchen staff: please distribute ingredients evenly in burritos. It was almost as if the guac, cheese, and black beans were on the side but in the burrito. Again, in the end, it was an awesome burrito. I just wish I didn't have to wait till the end to get what I ordered.
Here's what's to celebrate: Kalamazoo finally has a good breakfast burrito (if ingredients are evenly distributed). Eggs were fluffy and light, guac was like silk, beans were perfect, and the pico was just right. As for the cheese, not oily and super flavorful. On the side, I got a few hot sauces, which very much elevated the overall flavor with a good kick.
And two things that can't go unmentioned: the potatos and coffee. Potatos were cooked to perfection, and the coffee was ground and brewed on the spot.
Overall, one of the best breakfast burritos I've had even with the poor distribution of ingredients. Not oily or greasy, not a mess, held together great. And I'm sure that was a house made tortilla. High-five on that!
I'll definitely be coming back for round two of the breakfast burrito. Fingers crossed the guac, cheese, and black beans are in every bite. đ¤

   Read moreGot a coffee and chilaquiles with chirizo, while my partner got the sweet potato corned beef hash and can definitely say we will be back!! Food was fantastic (it is now one of my top 5 breakfast places in kzoo), and service was superb. Didn't catch the name of my server unfortunately, but she was super friendly and I really appreciated and loved her positive vibe. This was our first time bringing baby to a restaurant and we just popped her in her baby seat onto the table, with no issues. We came first thing in the morning on Sunday and you could tell it was picking up quickly (ppl were constantly coming in as we were finishing up) but it was perfectly quiet enough to have a nice conversation, enjoy our food, and not feel rushed to leave the second we finished our meal.
I forgot to take pictures, but will be recommending to...
