My wife and daughter and I did a sampling breakfast at a new place in Deep Ellum called Excuses. A warm friendly space with a lot to offer. Big screen TV's, Free Wi-Fi, Pool Tables and Games and a juke box so you can choose your favorite music. For breakfast we sampled the fresh baked Belgium Waffels, the breakfast pizza and a still warm Rasberry white-chocolate scone. One of the owners sat and chatted with us about all their plans. It was good to hear someone really enthusiastic about the Deep Ellum area. I live down here and have a business too. My daughter and I played a game of pool and darts and had a really great time. I plan to bring my employees back next week to do a little lunch sampling. The menu talks about a panini sandwich - I saw one going to another table and, had I not already been stuffed, would have ordered one of those too. Oh, yes the coffee was excellent - I chose the Kona and my wife had decaf. My daughter had the orange juice and was even provided a free refill. We left the dog at home this morning, but next time we will bring Theo with us and sit out on the patio. They have a bowl of doggie biscuts and water for those pooches who might be out walking their people. The owners here are really trying to provide every excuse for people to stop in. They have only been open a short time, and have quite a vision for our Deep Ellum Area.
Pros: Affordable and high quality
Cons: Hard to realize what they are - they are still working on the final signs, etc.
