Genies

Just another brunch place to chat about! Genies. Its right on the corner of Division and SE 11st. Its sort of the beginning of the Division St. neighborhood, where plenty of vegan joints are located like PAPA G's and Dots Cafe that's on Clinton St., just two blocks south. I wouldn't say Genies is a great place for vegans, but the owner was super cool. He asked my vegan friend suggestions on how to make vegan pancakes and vegan scramble, better. One really great thing about Genies is that they have a juicer. So all the juice they serve up are fresh and EXPENSIVE. It must have taken 7 oranges to make one pint of orange juice. EEK! I love their weekend specials like the Huckleberry pancakes. Its really fluffy with delicious huckelberries hidden inside. YUM! I also recommend the veggie gravy with biscuit. My boyfriend got that and he ate like a king. He was really happy to get it. Not to mention it also came with a side of country fried potato. $8 for that? Pretty sweet!
