Located along the Avenue in Hampden is Cafe Hon, next door to Bar Hon. This cafe is eclectically styled and includes a gift shop for Bawlmore gifts. I ordered the turkey meatloaf that came with mashed potatoes and veggie of the day. It was a nice surprise to see a healthier item on the menu along with fried catfish and regular meatloaf doused in gravy. My dish was excellent. I've never has such a good slice of turkey meatloaf! Very flavorful. Others in our group didn't have much luck with their selections so it was about half n' half with those who enjoyed their meals and those that didn't. I'd probably go back to eat and will definitely check out Hon Fest this year!

We've been to this place before, but only for drinks so Mr_BTM and a few other friends (7 of us total) decided to go to brunch at Little Havana. We show up a little before 11:00 AM to see a line waiting outside. Being one of the first in line we figured we would get seated right away. Not so. Apparently you have to make reservations for a party of our size. So we figured we'd wait a while until a table was available (mind you, all the big tables were available but were reserved). While we waited we were able to take advantage of their all you can drink mimosas and bloody marys ($14.95/per person and this includes a brunch entree). Our group waited almost 50 minutes until we were finally seated in one of those empty reserved tables. Why did we have to wait so long for a reservation not to show? Not sure.
I wasn't impressed with the brunch entree choices so I chose to get 3 side dishes including a short stack of pancakes, frituratas de pantano (fried plantains) and papas con chorizo (potatoes and sausage). Mr_BTM ordered the Fried Eggs Cuban Style, which includes fried eggs over rice & beans with picadillo and sofrito sauce. I liked the pancakes and the potato dish but neither were that great. Mr_BTM was equally unimpressed with his dish. I didn't really hear too many complaints from the others in our group but I guess the unlimited beverages is supposed to distract you from the fact that the food sucks. I don't know...if all I wanted to do was get drunk, I guess this is the place to go for brunch! Otherwise, there are better breakfast options in town.
