Wake up, Taste Buds! Head to Morning Fuel in West Lawn

Berks Businesses that Help with Hormonal Imbalance

Wake up, Taste Buds! Head to Morning Fuel in West Lawn

Chicken and Waffle and Mimosa Sunrise | Photos By Heidi Reuter

Welcome to a brash, stunningly satisfying breakfast and brunch! With modern interior styling, green plants everywhere, classyupbeat background music and rattan lampshades positioned over dining tables around the perimeter, Morning Fuel is instantly warm and inviting — a vibrant start to any day.

The imported Guatemalan coffee is served in a special cup that describes its volcanic origins while sitting steamily on a large pastel Fiestaware saucer. Although labeled “Regular Coffee,” this hot drink is straight-out fantastic, robust enough to jolt your senses yet incredibly smooth. It is so good. But wait — there are more than 16 additional coffee drinks, made by hand per order — such as the Latte Morning Fuel (double shot of espresso, caramel milk and white milk), macchiato cold brew coffee, mocha, cappuccino and more. Matcha latte pleases the green tea crowd while a deeply sweet hot chocolate is authentically concocted (to which you can add vodka, rum, tequila or Bailey’s to make it spiked). All these and other options, including cocktails, martinis, mimosas and smoothies, shine on what certainly qualifies as Berks County’s largest, longest “Drinks” menu.

In other words, this ain’t no diner, folks. This is the real deal for anyone craving a unique boost to their day, with a mouthwatering menu that spans the appetite gamut. Dary Garcia, one of three partners who own Morning Fuel, is a most congenial, welcoming host. As he has been in the restaurant business for years, he walks around (when time allows) to gently ask patrons how they’re doing, if they’re enjoying their selections. Garcia points out that all the beverages and dishes are prepared separately for each individual diner. As for that amazing coffee, he says, “We buy it directly from Guatemala.”

Classic Egg Dishes, Pancakes & Healthy Options

Traditionalists will love The Classic — two organic eggs cooked your way, seasoned potatoes, your choice of meat and toast, while The Classic Plus adds on a short stack of pancakes or French toast. No less than three types of enticing Eggs Benedict are offered, including Chorizo Bennys, in addition to Loaded Pancakes, Caramelized Banana Pancakes and high-energy, healthy options from avocado toast to baked oatmeal.

The Parfait Bowl starts with vanilla yogurt and creates a crunchy, fruity dynamic with puffed quinoa, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, granola and pumpkin seeds. The Go-Healthy Omelette uses egg whites and contains broccoli, spinach, onions and mushrooms; it’s then adorned with avocado and paired with fresh fruit salad on the side.

Bacon Omelet, Breakfast Tacos and a Popular Breakfast Burrito

Three eggs are used in various types of full-egg omelettes, all served with potatoes and toast. The Veggie Omelette is savory and texture-rich, made with mushrooms, onions, spinach, tomatoes and a cool surprise — avocado with Asiago cheese. Meat lovers will find the Bacon Omelette more bacon-y than most around town as the eggs are thinly folded top and bottom, crepe-like, in a perfect casing for the well-browned meat to shine forth — clearly the main star of this dish, with supporting actors of sauteed onions and tomato bits, plus melted Cheddar cheese. The seasoned potatoes are diced and very lightly salted, allowing finely chopped red and green peppers strewn throughout to deliver a bump of tanginess.

Breakfast Tacos, three flour tortillas in all, pack a protein punch as they contain scrambled eggs, chicken, chorizo (sausage), pico de gallo, Mexican cheese and avocado. They’re served with a side of black beans. Yummmm. The soft Breakfast Burrito has enjoyed a popular following since the restaurant’s opening exactly a year ago. Sliced in half for easy dining, the flour tortilla is solidly jammed with potatoes, scrambled eggs and chorizo, plus black beans, avocado, cheese and a silky chipotle crema. Shake on some hot sauce (Cholula, imported from Mexico) and then dip it into a side dish of cold sour cream for a total texture-and-mixture treat.

Morning Fuel’s Stuffed French Toast Will Lasso Your Heart

Two large pieces of thick-cut brioche dipped in a vanillacinnamon batter form the top and bottom of this restaurant’s version of Stuffed French Toast. The scent of cinnamon wafting up from the serving platter is what grabs you first, by the nose. Then your eyes take in a picture-perfect presentation of golden bread skillfully dusted with powdery white sugar along with luscious, bright red strawberries and a generous number of wholesome blueberries and some raspberries. Drizzled artistically in a swirly pattern around the plate is a dark red sauce. When you cut into the pile of toasted goodness, you’ll find smooth interior pleasure delivered to your palate by whipped cream and a super smooth strawberry cheesecake filling. Like cheesecake, the filling possesses a hint of tartness to counter the sweet. Slide the French toast into the sauce and experience a final element of berry joy when you discover its distinctive raspberry rush.

This dish is fabulous with coffee, or any beverage, whether for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
