Melanie and I had lunch at Sonny's Crema Cafe at 3403 Lyndale Avenue South, in Minneapolis.  We had just finished  our Saturday garage sale expedition and were looking for refreshments.  We often find ourselves at Sonny's on the weekend.  I think, for me, it is the setting that appeals to me first and foremost.

I enjoy a pleasant  atmosphere, but  I also like to dine.  My favorite meal at Sonny's is breakfast.  The menu changes constantly and features local produce.  And I would be remiss if I failed to mention the ice cream!  I once had a type of ice cream that was sweet and peppery at the same time.  It was amazing.

Melanie and I dined in the piaza.  I don't usually like eating outside, but the piaza is well protected from breezes, so it was very comfortable.  

Sonny's changes with the seasons, and this winter when you're looking for a steaming mug of coffee and a spot to work a crossword puzzle, or meet up with a good friend, I recommend them.  You won't be disappointed.
