Southport Grocery and Café

Description
Go ahead and believe the hype about the cupcake: It's moist, it's substantial but not heavy, and the thick, sugary icing hides deep flavors of chocolate and vanilla. If you're going to pick up a dozen, you may as well stick around for a meal. The breakfast menu will please fans of cream cheese; the gooey stuff makes appearances in a pair of new seasonal omelets, including one packed with arugula, roasted tomato and lemon-pepper cream cheese. Apples, streusel and, again, cream cheese show up in the stuffed French toast, topped with maple-pecan syrup. For lunch, try the newly added grilled Tilapia sandwich on challah bread with cheddar cheese, lemon-pepper mayo and caper-tomato tapenade. Eat up, but save room for one of those cupcakes.
