Laura's Bluebonnet Kitchen
photograph by John Anderson The decor in this cute little spot would be worth a trip even if it didn't have a big menu packed with traditional Southern cafe specialties. The place has a couple of strategically placed antique enamel ranges, the booths, chairs, and stools are all done in shades of blue that don't quite match, and there's a wonderfully kitschy collection of stainless steel toasters displayed along one wall. Somehow it all just works. Breakfast is the really big deal at Laura's, but check the blackboard for the daily hot homestyle lunch offerings ($5.75-$6.75) that come with two vegetables and a whole wheat roll. They do not disappoint.
