Casa Terra
The Wholesome Breakfast Bowl at Casa Terra
Walking into Casa Terra, there’s a sense of familiarity. That’s because the restaurant has taken over the former L’Artisane Bakery space, keeping its vegan options while shifting toward a Mediterranean-inspired menu. One difference is the raised wooden shelving that separates the dining area into two spaces, while maintaining open sightlines. Seating on the right side is mostly tables for two. On the left, the seating is better suited for larger parties, with a curved caramel-brown leather banquette running along the wall.
Casa Terra offers breakfast all day, along with a lunch menu. Like many people with New Year’s resolutions still fresh, we wanted to explore healthier alternatives, and the menu reflects that, with wholesome breakfast bowls starting at $14.75 and brunch favorites that include quiches and sourdough pancakes. We built our own omelet for $14.25, choosing from standard veggie, cheese, and protein options. Ours was a combination of ricotta cheese, bacon, and confit tomato, served with a side of sweet potato hash. We also tried one of their breakfast specials: an açaí bowl topped with almond butter, diced papaya, mango, pineapple, and coconut flakes. To close out our visit, we ordered the caramel cappuccino ($5). It leans more bitter than sweet, so those who prefer a softer coffee may want to add sugar. – Amanda Martell…
