Birthday brunch in Braidwood

Spike, ordering breakfast

We drove to Braidwood at Spike's request, as part of her extended birthday celebration. Several places on the must-visit list were either closed (the most popular breakfast place was having its floor sanded and varnished ... on a Saturday ... go figure) or not wheelchair accessible. But we found a delightful cafe set off the road behind a gallery. 

The name 'Dee-liscious' did not bode well but I was pleasantly, delightfully surprised. It's a warm, welcoming place with good food, friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere. We found a table inside - away from the giant cat with a squashed, flat face, the countless dogs (all well-behaved) and six strutting chickens.  With a narrow range of veggie options to choose from we ordered freshly squeezed juices, coffee for Spike and Chai for me then ate like hobbits on smashed eggs, mushrooms and goats' milk curd on toast. Delicious. Truly. And well worth the drive.
