The thing is, I lived in Auburn from 2005-2007 and got to work every day at about 6:45am. So, no, I didn't frequent the GG during that time. (*Double* snap!) :D But honestly, I probably wouldn't have gone even if I had lived in Lincoln over that time period. B – yeah, it’s pretty much true.

We'll have to remedy that over Christmas. :) That is, if you're here over a Saturday. Bethany, that is a crying shame.

Unfortunately they were losing money on breakfast during the week...and the fact that you didn't discover they weren't open until a few weeks ago means you have been contributing by not eating breakfast there! Oh snap! ;) -Bethany, who's only eaten breakfast at the Gateau once, and it was approximately 6 years ago Yeah, GG closed except for lunch and dinner during the week a couple years ago.

The Green Gateau is my favorite, and it is a shame that it's only open for breakfast on weekends. Lincoln needs more sit-down restaurants with breakfast. I am SO not going to Perkins.

I say "crep" though. Just to muddy the waters, I believe most American dictionaries actually have a preference for the “craype” pronunciation. I say “crep” though.

Delicious may be a bit of an overstatement for anything at Village Inn. The morning we went out to eat, we (Mom, Bess, and I) tried to go to the Green Gateau. We were surprised and saddened to find out that it is not open for breakfast on weekday mornings. We tried and tried to think of other restaurants around town that would be good for breakfast, and VI was pretty much all we could come up with. Help me out... ARE there good places to eat for breakfast? They were good, yes. Delicious may be a bit of an overstatement for anything at Village Inn.
