On the way to the airport with friends we stopped at yet another new cafe, making this three new reports in one weekend!

Superba (how do you pronounce this?) has been on my list for awhile.
IMG_1412
I pass it all the time on Lincoln, where it stands out as looking like it was built after the 70s.

The interior is modern construction minimalist, like the contractor forgot to finish the job.

The have a bike bakery — it was passover and I’m on a low carb diet so I didn’t try any of that.
IMG_1415-Pano
Wine of the likely too-plebian-for-me style.

The menu (2/3/20).

Cappuccino.

Turmeric latte.

We were in a rush too, so we couldn’t even eat in, but got take out (it was faster) and went to the patio. None of the food looks that attractive in it’s takeaway boxes.
IMG_1424
LITTLE GEM CAESAR. brussels sprouts/ treviso/ garlic crouton.
IMG_1421
Basic pancake.

OAXACA CHEESE OMELETTE. chilaquiles/ tomatillo salsa/ crema.

IMG_1423
I think this came with the omelet?IMG_1428

SMOKED + CURED FISH BOARD. beet cured salmon/ smoked trout/ cod/ sprouted rye toast. Looks pretty minimal in this configuration.

IMG_1425

KETO PLATE. beef brisket/ beeler’s bacon/ turkey sausage/ grilled halloumi/ sunny egg/ roasted tomato/ dressed avocado. This wasn’t bad.
IMG_0994
On a second visit we ate inside and actually had plates, so here is again the:
KETO PLATE. beef brisket/ beeler’s bacon/ turkey sausage/ grilled halloumi/ sunny egg/ roasted tomato/ dressed avocado. It was much better in this more attractive and less jumbled context.

IMG_0989
HAM + CHEESE QUICHE. simple green salad/ radishes/ red wine vinaigrette. Really nice fluffy and “porky” quiche. The lardons inside really amped it up.
IMG_0991

BREAKFAST SANDWICH. fried eggs/ beeler’s bacon/ cheddar/ watercress/ crispy potatoes.

IMG_0997

CROQUE MADAME. sunny egg/ ham/ gruyere + raclette/ salad.
The first time I went, things were ok, but the eating outside with the food jumbled in cardboard containers really held it back. On our second (inside at a normal table) visit I was considerably more impressed. They have a good kitchen here and everything I tried was well executed and tasty.
