CoFax Coffee Shop (Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, CA)

FINALLY. Finally. After all these months after hearing about you the DAY I move away from you. I’ve felt deprived. But today, work thankfully took me to a meeting on Fairfax Ave. (my former hood, le sigh) in the early morn and I got to meet you.

Even though I had just been fed, I HAD to pick one of you up while I was in the area. I texted my friend Will who first told me about you that I was about to meet you for the first time. Serendipitously, that same friend Will happened to be down the street and joined for the joyous occasion. I was, in turn, pushed to eat you in your freshest form (more like about 5 mins old for the time it took to drive you to my friend’s place to be consumed) instead of drive all the way home with you...which I then learned is the only way to really experience the REAL you. Because you’re special and you have special things inside of you that I previously did not know about.

- Contents: (I ordered the Veggie) Eggs, Cheese, and a Smoked Potato Hash with Red Peppers and Onions and Secret Tortilla Strips. It also comes equipped with a green, smoked-tomatillo sauce and a red chile de arbol sauce. -

Yes, to get the full experience, one needs to consume you right away to catch that crunch of the tortilla strips before it sogs into your tasty deliciousness. I felt that crunch in the first bite, then you were sog-city, but like, the BEST kind of sog city I’ve ever experienced! Your subtle smokey flavors were fluid, and streamed through the whole being of you. 

- The potatoes are king in this LA Breakfast Burrito Queen. And that is a lot for me to say as someone who usually stands their ground on shredded hash browns as being a key ingredient in a breakfast burrito for texture. -

But no, not for you. You are an exception. You complete my LA breakfast burrito kingdom. - The cubed potatoes work here because they are cooked to perfection and are so moist, they melt in your mouth with a flavor. -

And I forgot to mention your SKIN. Your skin is GRILLED to a perfect level of burn that is so alluring to the eye once you are unwrapped.

The salsas are simple and taste fresh, but are only necessary for every few bites because you are also so good just the way you are.

And after I had you, I did not feel like shite nor weighed down. I felt fine and fulfilled. It’s like you were made to be inside of me.

SCORE: 9.8/10

(.2 points docked for ONE potato cube being a bit too big and hot. Other than that one minor blemish, YOU WERE PERFECT.) Thank you for existing.
