You’d think Williamsburg was a town in Texas with all the new breakfast burrito options. The latest I tried comes from a cute little bakery near the Williamsburg bridge run by a husband-and-wife team who touch on both their Vietnamese and Dominican heritages at Ceremonia Bakeshop.
The pastries here, especially the mochi donuts, looked great, but I had my eye on the prize. Like many people who stop in for a gutbomb to go with their morning coffee, I was after the burrito.
This monster was practically bursting at the seams. The flour tortilla was nicely browned and strong enough to hold in the plentiful filling.
I’ve been trying to cut back on my meat intake, so I substituted avocado for chorizo. I could tell that a meaty spice might have added something to the combination, but as is, this was a great breakfast option.
It exploded with both ingredients and flavors. The roasted potatoes provided an immediate natural sweetness that was tamed by the addition of piquant salsa verde. The creamy eggs melded with the avocado and the melted cheddar cheese.
I had to stop myself from finishing the entire thing which somehow got shoveled in a little too easily. While I’m glad I didn’t have to share it, there was enough here for two people. Unless of course we really are in Texas where everything is just a little bit bigger. Price: $14.75
