Last weekend, one of my favorite friends Amanda of Kevin and Amanda came to visit me in CA for a jam packed foodie weekend.  We had so much fun and ate until we couldn’t eat anymore

One of my favorite stops of our weekend was by far Bruxie Gourmet Waffle Sandwiches in Orange, CA.  There is little I can say that can tell you how amazing the food was, you literally have to try it yourself.  If you visit Southern California, PLEASE make time to visit Bruxie.  You’ll thank me later.

It’s located in Old Towne Orange that is completely charming and full of fun antique shops and restaurants.

There are dozens and dozens of menu options but Amanda and I chose to share the 4 that sounded best to us including this mouthwatering oozing S’mores Waffle Sandwich.  Sinful!

There were so many things we would have tried if we had the room in our stomachs, lol.  The shakes looked to die for not to mention the fun soda’s.

You walk right up to the counter and order your food.  See the cute t-shirts?  I should have bought one

This creme brulee waffle sandwich was life changing.  It had a thin layer of actual creme brulee with the crispy sugar topping and perfect strawberries.  This is a must order.

 

I had to have one savory waffle in our mix and this Eggs and Hash sandwich was incredible.  I would order this again in a heartbeat.

 

This peanut butter and jelly waffle sandwich was simply delicious.  Lathered with all natural peanut butter and strawberry jam.  My boys would absolutely love this one.  Tasted like the perfect toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

 

My mouth is watering just thinking about this s’mores waffle.  It was warm, chocolate-y, marshmallow-y with a touch of graham cracker.  In a nutshell, perfect!

 

Here’s our fun table of waffle sammy’s   About a dozen outside tables available to sit at.  We even sat by a heater to keep us warm.

Keep in mind there will most likely be a line when you visit Bruxie.  There was a steady line the entire time Amanda and I were there.  I would say we stood in line for 10 minutes and got our food within 10 minutes.  Not too bad at all.  Amanda and I both agreed that everyone was so nice too.  They kept asking how we liked the food and made sure we didn’t need anything.  They were great.  Make sure you visit Bruxie if you get the chance!!

This week while my family was visiting from Arizona, we went to a very charming shopping area in Old Towne Orange Historic District, CA.  It’s only about 15-20 minutes from Newport Beach on the freeway.  While we were browsing through antique shops, I quickly saw this sweet little cafe and bakery called Blue Frog.  We decided to do brunch….and a few desserts.

There are a few seats outside as you can see in the photo and inside there are seats around the counter. You can also find a handful of tables upstairs.  You walk right up to the counter to order and pay, then the server brings your food to your table.  At the counter you will find desserts galore.  Cookies, cakes, cupcakes, cheesecakes and more.  I was tempted to try one of everything!

Take a peek!

I ordered the Froggie Breakfast Burrito that had eggs, bacon and cheese inside a perfectly soft flour tortilla with a cup of mild salsa.  You can choose between potatoes or fruit for your side.  The potatoes were nicely seasoned, thin and great with the burrito.

 

The biscuits and gravy were great.  Flavorful peppery bacon gravy over top 2 soft buttery biscuits.  Next time I would order an extra side of gravy since we ran out towards the end   Potatoes or fruit are your side choices here as well.

 

Well, since we finished brunch around noon, it was perfectly appropriate to order desserts right?  First up is this adorable little chocolate cake.  I had very high hopes for it because it looked so darn good.  Let’s see what it looks like inside

 

Oh yah, super moist cake and ganache layered in between the cakes.  This little cake lived up to my expectations.  Will order it again!

 

Had to order this cute oval shaped baby Carrot Cake.  Loved the shape, the size and all the frosting!  Let’s take a look inside.

 

Lovely little layers of cinnamon-y carrot cake with little golden raisins throughout.  It was soft and layered with a light cream cheese frosting.  Very good!

Oh baby, this giant eclair was the bomb….no, seriously.  A nice layer of chocolate on top of a nice flaky crust, with a perfect vanilla custard on the inside.  We loved picking at this one.
