Today I met Anne V., her brother, and his Aussie wife for brunch at Birch Coffee. The cafe is adjoined to the uniquely fronted Gershwin Hotel, and it was spacious and virtually empty on our nation's birthday. I sampled the vegetarian sandwich (smoked tofu, walnut pesto, tomatoes, and carrots on house-made focaccia) and a large iced coffee with milk. The veggie sandwich was good but too salty, as was the side salad, and my companions remarked that their food was mysteriously salty as well. Aussie Stacy had the grilled cheese sliders, which she described as little butter nuggets. I might stop in again for a beverage but I'll avoid the sandwiches. Maybe waffles next time.
