Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!


Jac has a love and fascination for all things Spanish, so she's been eager to check out Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! for quite a long time, so since her brother is in town we figured we should try it for brunch this morning. We've seen their Bloody Mary bar on Instagram and needed to check it out for ourselves. 


We started with deviled eggs with a crispy bacon bit on top, then our glasses of peppered vodka came so we bellied up to the Bloody Mary bar.



To say we were impressed with their Bloody Mary spread would be an extreme understatement. They had the basics, but also crispy bacon, pickles, celery trees, olives, cucumbers, shrimp skewers, horseradish, and just everything you could possibly want.





Since brunch was tapas style, we ordered a ton of food and just shared everything. We had one of specials, arugula, goat cheese, and fig flatbread. Then the iberico ham has with bell peppers, onions, confit potatoes, and poached egg. 




We ordered the beef tenderloin with an English muffin, poached egg, and hollandaise sauce, which was seriously sooo delicious.


My personal fav, Spanish tomato toast with served with baked eggs with charred romescu sauce and pumpkin seed pistou.



And for dessert, naturally, chicken and ham croquetas.

If you adore Spanish food, or are the type of person who likes to try one of everything, or just a taste, this is a great spot for ya! If not for brunch, then at least go for dinner. 

Enjoy!

Barcelona















For Easter weekend, Kelsey and I hopped over to Barcelona to meet Brigid and Jaclyn for a weekend full of sunshine, sangria, and stupidity (in the greatest way possible). We found ourselves laying on the beach, hitting up the main tourist spots including La Sagrada Familia, Parc Guell, and Casa Batllò. While the outside facades (yes plural) may seem a bit confused and not in sync with one another, the interior of La Sagrada Familia is by far one of the most overwhelmingly amazing spaces I’ve ever visited. Inspired by the natural world, especially by trees, Gaudi created a space welcoming to all faiths. The craziest part? This bad boy isn’t finished yet! Overall, an incredible weekend with the best company one could ask for.
