In the constant search of brunch...I found Cafe Mangia

Brunch is probably my favorite meal, and as such I am always in search of places that I can go. I have two qualms about this. The first is that it is typically only offered on weekends, and the second that on the weekend my options are generally limited to Sundays. Grrrr. Having gotten that off my chest, I have found some really good locations for brunch and thankfully the list keeps growing. Cafe Mangia is a cute local spot in Colchester that I like to go to in the summer only because I prefer eating outdoors on their wraparound porch, and typically go there on my way elsewhere like the beach, Priam vineyard or the casinos. But I am sure it's just as good in the winter too! 

     A favorite item on the menu is the Grilled Polenta Cakes which are topped with sauteed vegetables, marinara sauce and whipped ricotta. Mmmm. Also a huge fan of the option of designing my own omlet, since I am one of those people who really gets off on adding all sorts of funky ingredients and seeing how it turns out, instead of letting the chefs do their job and pick a good combination for me. And speaking of summer, you could go with the Fresh Fruit Crepe for breakfast, and with a mouth full of berries, pretend that it's June. I certainly do.
     Lastly what's even better than a delicious menu? Delicious prices. Most items range from $6.95 to $9.95. That should be reason enough for a spontaneous road trip to Colchester on Sunday morning.
