Opals Bakery and Cafe is located in Richmond Kentucky. It is a tiny hole in the wall next door to the Paddy Wagon. They have seriously reduced their menu since moving locations. The focus appears to have shifted to the bakery part of the business. This place is a self serve heaven.
I had the opportunity to sample their breakfast special of biscuits and gravy. I also had an orange muffin and a cup of hot chocolate. The biscuits and gravy had been previously made and set out on the buffet. They did serve them for me, but it was slightly disturbing to see that they had already been sitting there for a while. The biscuits were light and fluffy but the gravy that was scooped on top of them was unfortunately trying to seperate. It was creamy but had no flavor. Salt and pepper helped some.
The hot chocolate I had to make myself. Swiss Miss packets were set out by styrofoam cups and the hot water was on the side of the coffee maker. I was definitely disheartened by this as I had previously eaten at this establishment at its old location and had been greatly pleased with my selections and the free refills of the delicious hot chocolate served with whipped cream. Now it was just like making it at home.
The orange muffin was light and airy. The flavor was also very light. It barely had a citrus flavor to it. It was a good sized muffin and was not horrible to eat, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting.
I guess you could say that this was not one of the better experiences I have had at a local restaurant.
