Casey still remembers that his hamster died in the moving van, but Gary had made a prescient move.
“Anybody that was in town that week, it was a foregone conclusion that everybody was going to be partying with them.” The party spot was often the family home.īynum’s dad, Gary Bynum, had moved the family to Albuquerque from Washington State to open a comedy club with his brother-in-law. “Back then it was a lot more of a party atmosphere,” he said. If you want to relax, have conversations with family and friends, and enjoy great flavors in a non-chain atmosphere, you should try Caffe Mona.Curtis Cook is double dipping in Tucson and Bisbee this weekend.Ĭasey Bynum grew up a comedy-club kid. It was a healthy brunch meal that enabled me to keep up with a younger family member on sight-seeing in the city right afterwards - feeling content, but not bloated from over-eating!Īgain, this is not a high volume, highly processed facility - so, be patient with food that may take a few moments more (when busy) and for their small staff. While I've done the omelets on previous trips (the Protein omelette and the Cherry omelets were both delicious and with the flavor of truly fresh ingredients), I enjoyed the Chicken Pesto salad (and I am so glad I did)! Not oversized and with the dressing on the side. On the way to the back deck, the main dining area is very non-commercial and more like a coffee shop. deck with beautiful umbrellas -all staff, including the chef - saying, "hello" and "good morning" and "welcome". Evidenced just yesterday (Sunday) morning, walking past the kitchen on the way to the back. The people are friendly and very eager to ensure guests have an enjoyable experience. This is the third time I've been to Caffe Mona - and it's just getting better. We are already talking about making a special trip back to the Strip District early on a Saturday morning to visit again. I don't think you can go wrong with this place. But even with the rain, it was OK to savor our chevre dishes slowly and sip the excellent coffee. They were both fantastic! If the weather had been nicer (it was raining), we probably would have taken a table on the sidewalk and lingered to enjoy our breakfast and do some people watching. My wife had the chevre crepe, which was just like the omelette except with a crepe wrap instead of egg. I decided to have a chevre omelette, which is sun-dried tomatoes, baby spinach, and goat cheese. The breakfast/brunch menu has a nice selection of omelettes and crepes (sweet and savory). But as we passed Caffe Mona and looked at the menu, we decided to eat here. would go to a popular restaurant just around the corner from Caffe Mona, or the biscotti shop across the street. On our way out of town, we decided to see what the Strip District had in the way of places to have breakfast. We had spent the night at a Pittsburgh hotel after the July 4 celebrations in Point State Park.
