A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

My friend Ziggy had to drop off some of his delicious Fox Point Pickles to a vendor near Walden Pond, so we decided to meet up at Trail’s End Cafe in Concord for lunch. I love breakfast any time of day, and I especially love a place that serves breakfast for lunch. Breakfast at Trail’s End Cafe is served until 3pm!! They make a killer bacon, egg and cheese sandwich for $7. What else can you expect to see on the breakfast menu? Eggs any way you like them, a breakfast quesadilla, homemade quiche of the day, smoked salmon sandwich, and some steel cut oatmeal to name a few items. Choose something sweet from their bakery case, it was so hard to just choose one thing (the chocolate chip cookies are SO tasty but the key lime bar was calling my name – next time!!).

Not as big of a breakfast fan as I am? Their lunch menu includes things like a tarragon chicken salad, a Reuben, a crispy falafel pocket or a brie and fig melt. Sandwiches run you anywhere from $9-$12. I can’t wait to try the short rib tacos, served on corn tortillas, with apple and jalapeño slaw, green goddess and goat cheese. YUMMMMM.

Kids can grab a grilled cheese, chicken tenders, a pb&j, or a mini grilled pizza muffin. They all come with your choice of fruit or French fries. The fruit on my dish was a little over ripe, but that is my only criticism. A great place to bring the kids and a meal for them will run anywhere from $6-$8.

Dinner sounds so tasty I can barely contain myself. Things like grilled mahi-mahi, old school bolognese, grass fed steak tips, fish and chips, or a half roasted chicken.

For lunch, we ordered at the counter and they brought the food to the table we chose for ourselves in the back. There is plenty of parking in the lot out back – so you can have a nice leisurely lunch.

Open for breakfast and lunch Monday – Saturday 7am – 3pm and Sunday 8am – 3pm. Dinner is Tuesday – Saturday 5pm – 10pm and Sunday 5pm – 9pm.

They have another location in Lincoln and their sister restaurant, Lincoln Kitchen is also in the same shopping plaza.
