Before heading to Universal Studios for a long day of fun, we decided
to take in a big breakfast and DOHBOYS was the perfect choice just
blocks from the Beverly Center at 8136 West Third Street in LA
(www.doughboyscafe.com). I believe there are other locations in the
area as well, but this is a bakery and cafe that will please you all
day.
The servers look (as always) totally handsome and must be aspiring
actors, and ours told us that we could have a 1/2 portion for Samuel
as a 4-egg frittata is way too much, but when his Frittata with
Tomato, Garlic, Basil and Pecorino Romano (called Pizza-style) came it
was HUGE. They insisted it was 1/2 size, but the bill was for a full
price one, which was quickly repaired.
Will had the Frittate with Caponata (diced veggies here), Mozzarella
and Pesta with Walnut Toast. These came with large side salads and
cost under $10!
The coffee was a bit bitter, and the breads look better than they
taste.
My BREAKFAST CROSTINI was on two slabs of grilled sourdough with
Prosciutto, Cantaloupe, Arugala and Sahved Parmesan with two steamed
(like poached) eggs on top. It was much lighter than the 4-egg
monstrosities and I adored every bite as it was like a salad with a
bit of meat and eggs.
We were all full and indeed none of us wanted a bite all day until
dinner, so Doughboys did the job!
