This weekend I had to go try this Moena Cafe yelpers were buzzing about. Breakfast/brunch isnʻt my favorite meal of the day but this place was ONO!

I tried the Banana Chantilly Pancakes(pic) and the MC Breakfast(pic) which includes Fried Rice with 2 eggs over medium and a side of extra crispy Maple-Wood Bacon and I added a side of Kalua Pig! Super ONO! Pancacke was so fluffy and moist at the same time! Fried rise was so flavorful! and the swine was also pretty fine! 😉
