Hanssen's Le Bakery & Café

If you're looking for a different breakfast or lunch option in Peoria, you need to check out Hanssen's Le Café, located in Peoria's Metro Centre. They have an impressive selection of fresh salads, soups, quiches and omelettes, just to name a few.
You just pick up a tray on your way in and walk past the glass cases to peer in at all the great options.
I enjoyed a half chicken pesto sandwich with a cup of grilled cheese tomato soup. The soup was rich and savory.
I also love a chicken salad they make, which has huge grapes in it.
And when you're done with your meal, you might just mosey over to Le Bakery side and grab some treats for later. The thing I usually can't resist is the baklava, a favorite my mom makes.

November, 2008 — Le Café has reopened as Café Evergreen. Le Bakery is still operating next door.
