Last week we went to Platiyo after seeing a line in front of Orange (a block apart). This week we were up a bit earlier and arrived moments before the line started. In a review of La Taché I mentioned that it was nothing like the typical busy morning brunch spot. Orange is that busy morning brunch spot. If we arrived 5 minutes later we would have split. There is really no room for people to wait inside and it's cold outside.
But luck had it we were seated relatively quickly and amidst periodic blender whizzing we got to our food. They serve Frushi which they show you. I thought it was a cute breakfast amuse but no. It's a tease and they want $3 or $2.50 for it... Don't remember exactly. You get a piece of pineapple tied up with a floss thin strand of something that I couldn't taste and some rice and fruit maki piece that was very tasty and a pseudo sushi... watermellon not tuna that was also interesting. Worth the dough but would have rocked as a quick freebie. I tried the orange flavored coffee but did not like it. My fellow eater however did like it. It's nice that they give you a little pot of coffee. But when you have orange flavored stuff it tends to taint the regular too... in any case it was still strong and good.
