On Friday, I went to a tiny 3-table café at Ossingon and College called Janelle's Kitchen. Having just opened in the last two months for daytime meals, it took over from a long-time Vietnamese jewelry store and next to my old optometrist from decades back. Filled with knick-knacks, magazines, and newspapers, it exuded a cozy homey feel. Looking over the short menu, I opted for a vegetarian quiche ($13) and a cup of green tea ($3).

The slice of quiche was rich and warm, redolent of roasted mushrooms and cheese. It was a tad on the small side, along with generic bread bought from the Brazilian bakery just down the street, and a typical lettuce salad, the dish seemed a bit pricey. Though the coffee machinery was fairly trendy, the tea was simply a PC teabag. I like this place, but at close to $20 with tip I don't think this spot will make it on my regular go-to list of eateries.
