Trust Jeff Eats- when I tell you that Steve Perry’s vocals are no match for Jeff Eats’ Journey covers!

***** Coffee District, 325 Northeast Avenue, Delray Beach, Florida 33444, (561) 455-0541.
Let’s describe Coffee District as…a 1600sq foot Starbucks type joint with a full boat of wines & beers– breakfast sandwiches, pastries, panini, salads and karaoke starting at 8pm every Friday night.

At this stage of this game check www.mycoffeedistrict.com for menu/prices/events/photos.

As many of you guys know–as hard as I try–Jeff Eats still can’t get his “head” around the concept of a $4-5 cup of coffee…I still remember Brooklyn’s Garfield Cafeteria’s 5 cent-cups —and yes, I know that Rudy Vallee is dead, that Maris hit 61 homers, that Roger Clemons didn’t use steroids and that gas isn’t 29 cents a gallon. Let’s just say, that some things just die-hard.

Anyway…last week I gave Coffee District a shot and I gotta tell you this hybrid coffee-wine & beer concept is very interesting. You coffee drinkers, wine drinkers and beer drinkers will be like foxes in a hen house…the joint has all kinds of coffees, wines, tap and bottled beers. For the “eaters” like me Coffee District’s got a handful of- breakfast sandwiches, pastries, panini, salads, appetizers…not a huge selection, but I will tell you, that the roast beef panini, bacon cheddar flat bread melt, grilled chicken pesto panini were delicious…with a special shout-out to that flat bread melt.

Just so you know…One of the highest compliments that Mrs. Jeff Eats has every paid me and I quote…”You eat like a reincarnated truck driver.”

With “truck driver” being the operative words here—Jeff Eats’ game really is- big greasy burgers, french fries covered in ketchup, pizza, beer battered onion rings, pan fried dumplings, bbq ribs, glazed donuts…not- sitting on a couch nursing a cup of coffee or glass of wine, wi-fiing away, waiting for amateur singers to take center stage. That said, I do appreciate when a CONCEPT is well executed and Coffee District absolutely-positively has the “local non chain-coffee/wine/beer relaxed neighborhood meeting place” concept down to a tee.

The best way to sum Coffee District up…a really good joint to enjoy a casual cup of coffee, beer or wine—and maybe-even bump into Jeff Eats as he has another one of those bacon cheddar flat bread melts.

For the record, Jeff Eats does a mean version of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Coffee District is open Monday-Thursday 7am-10pm, Friday 7am-midnight, Saturday 8am-midnight, Sunday 8am-3pm.

***** Trader Joe’s Chocolate Brooklyn Babka.

Yesterday morning- around 8:36am Jeff Eats came across these $4.99 Trader Joe’s Chocolate Brooklyn Babkas in the bread aisle at Trader Joe’s, 855 South Federal Highway, Boca Raton, Florida 33432, (561) 338-5031.

Thirty-one minutes later, Jeff Eats (along with 2 cups of steaming hot black coffee and my daily copy of the New York Post) was a very-very happy camper!

Trust Jeff Eats, Trader Joe’s Chocolate Brooklyn Babka is absolutely delicious!

Trader Joe’s is open 7 days a week 8am-9pm.

You can check traderjoes.com for Trader Joe’s store locations/info.

Finally, for all you guys who thought “BABKA” was spelled BOBKA, sorry-it’s BABKA!

* Labor Day, Monday- September 4th, 2017.

Three guesses, and the first two don’t count- as to where Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats are gonna be eating lunch this coming Labor Day, Monday- September 4th, 2017!

For you “slow” guys out here…

Nathan’s Famous

1310 Surf Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11224
(718) 333-2202
nathansfamous.com
Hours:
Sunday-Thursday 9am-11pm
Friday-Saturday 9am-midnight

If you can keep a secret, nobody and Jeff Eats means nobody- makes hot dogs and French fries as delicious as Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island does!

One last thought, although there are a number of Nathan’s “outlets” (check nathansfamous.com for locations) in Florida – Jeff Eats has yet to find even “one” that serves hot dogs and French fries as good as those made at the original Coney Island joint. Jeff Eats can’t explain “why”- but that’s what my tastebuds tell me!
