In 2006, the Maltby Cafe in Maltby (Snohomish) won the award for the "Best Breakfast in Washingon". Over the years, the small, unassuming restaurant (it is housed in the basement of an old schoolhouse) has become well-known because of its great breakfasts and lunches, and boasts an array of home-made pastries and food, including their Giant Cinnamon Rolls (fills one dinner plate) and their Maltby Bread, sliced thick and topped with home-made raspberry and strawberry jam.
While on vacation last week, I decided to treat myself to a Maltby Cafe breakfast. Even on a mid-morning weekday, the cafe was crowded, and I had to wait a few minutes for a table.
After ordering a latte and a Vegetarian Frittata with Maltby Wheat Toast and raspberry jam, I settled down to read the paper while waiting for my food. The aromas from the kitchen were mouth-watering, and I watched with interest the procession of the food from kitchen to table, and the appreciative looks the patrons were giving the beautifully-prepared plates. It felt good to have breakfast in my own neighborhood with folks from my community, and it was a wonderful start to a relaxing and unhurried day.
