Summit Coffee in Davidson, NC

One last snack in Downtown Davidson came from a place called Summit Coffee. Didn't try any hot beverages, but instead had a chocolate croissant. Definitely a yummy pastry...

Bellacino's Pizza & Grinders in Davidson, NC

I was up at Davidson College for an event that included pizza from Bellacino's Pizza & Grinders. Apparently Bellacino's is a pizza chain up in other parts of the country, but it was completely new to me.

They cut their round pizzas into square slices, which just seems strange and anti-intuitive to me. I tried three different types of pie. One was called Pride, which had a little of everything on it. I also tried the veggie pizza, as well as a slice of normal pepperoni. As far as chain pizza goes, this was pretty good. I would definitely rank Bellacino's Pizza far above Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Dominos, although there was no comparison between this and a good NY style pie.

Egg at Davidson Cafe in Davidson, NC

Another meal in Davidson, NC was at the Egg at Davidson Cafe. We were told that apparently this place has really good breakfasts, but I decided to get lunch here instead. I ordered a blackened fish sandwich with a side of macaroni salad.

The sandwich was alright, but I personally would have preferred more toppings on it. Served with nothing but fish, tarter sauce, and bread, the sandwich was a little on the boring side. Lettuce and tomato at the least would have been nice. The macaroni salad was really tasty though with a strong peppery flavor.

Should have gotten some sort of breakfast...

The Soda Shop in Davidson, NC

I spent a weekend up in Davidson, NC. For breakfast one morning, I picked up takeout from a place called The Soda Shop. Located in Downtown Davidson, just across from Davidson College, this restaurant had somewhat of a 50's diner look.

I ordered an egg & cheese breakfast sandwich on a biscuit with a side of home fries. When I opened my food, I was actually a little surprised to see the eggs were on a tiny two-inch diameter biscuit. The cheese was also nowhere to be found on the sandwich. The home fries were good and the orange slice was a nice touch.

The food tasted okay, but when the cheese is missing from an egg & cheese sandwich, that's a big issue. Really though, I wasn't in Davidson for the food. I got takeout here to go across the street and help set the world record for most people paddle balling at once. When you're having fun like that, who cares if a restaurant leaves cheese off a sandwich...
