Bear Rock Cafe

Nikki took me to the Bear Rock Cafe (BRC) after church on Sunday. (I went with her to Xenos, which is not a cult)

From the outside it looks like that coffee shop on Lane Ave near North Star. Do you know the one I mean? I always assumed that the BRC was just a coffee shop, but NO! They also serve food of all varieties.

Anyway, it was just like eating at Panera except for the following:

• Panera has better food (esp. Bacon Turkey Bravo!)
• BRC serves Mello Yello!
• BRC serves something named "Sasquatch"

I ordered the "Make Your Own" combo - called "You Pick Two" at Panera. I had half of a chicken salad croissant and chili. The chicken salad was not as good as my beloved BTB, but it was good and they gave me the whole sandwich, not just half, which I, of course, liked very much.

Panera serves a baguette with the combo, BRC serves a crappy roll, but also a bag of chips.

They also serve a loaded baked potato thing, but Nikki and I didn't try it. If that's your thing, you might enjoy the BRC.

All in all, it's an OK joint. If you're shopping at Graceland and need a place to eat, there it is.

Or you can drive a block south and eat at Panera.
