The sauce was an equal balance of sweet and salty, complemented by fresh sweet basil. I was expecting the sauce to be primarily sweet with miso undertones however, the miso definitely wasn’t shy in this dish. The result was savory-sweet and flavor packed. I also ordered miso butterscotch French toast ($16), and it was served with a ramekin of whipped cream and topped with blueberries and caramelized pecans. It delivered everything I wanted from a bacon, egg and cheese bagel and then some. They cut it in half and left it in the wrapper, just like you’d get it from an NYC bodega. ![]() What I liked about this sandwich is that it was unassuming. The arugula was perfect because it gave just a little crunch that was enjoyable. I was expecting the kimchi aioli to be more prominent, but it definitely settled into the background with a subtle, slightly vinegary tang. From what I could tell, the cheese was American, and it fit well on this sandwich. I honestly appreciated it because I prefer that kind of hashbrown over a shredded sort. They were the kind of hash browns that are large and flat, and they had been roughed up a little on the plate to make them kind of smashed. It came with a side of hashbrowns which were deliciously crispy and well seasoned. I ordered the Not-So-NYC breakfast sandwich ($12), which came with eggs any way, bacon, cheese, kimchi aioli, and arugula on a plain bagel. For $7.50, the portion was large enough to share with friends, but I’m not ashamed to say I polished it off by myself. When it comes to dip, I really want it to be bursting with an obscene amount of flavor, and this one delivered. For those there to read or work on a laptop, it would be a great choice to nibble on. If you’re coming in for a beer or a cocktail, salty chips and garlicky dill dip makes for a great accoutrement. I love that they added something like this to the menu. Extra crunchy kettle chips were served with creamy dip absolutely loaded with dill and garlic and topped with green onions. I ordered the kettle chips and dill dip ($7.50), and it was just as good as I expected it to be. That being said, when I saw kettle chips and dill dip on the menu, I had to have some. I have never met a crunchy-chip-and-creamy-dip combo that I didn’t like. One thing about me is that I am a chips-and-dip girl through and through. ![]() I decided to check out what the new menu at The Literary Cafe has to offer. The Literary briefly paused their food service for a short time earlier this year, but the place has been back to brunching for quite some time now.
