It&#8217;s coffee that is brewed as a pourover, but also mixed with two key ingredients: coconut oil and unsalted butter made from grass-fed cow&#8217;s milk. The idea of drinking butter along with my coffee was daunting, but intriguing enough that I had to taste it for myself (and I&#8217;d been meaning to try breakfast at Beatrix anyway).<\/p>\n<p>When I took my first sip, I couldn&#8217;t immediately detect the butter. It was frothy and toasty, almost like a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/2013\/12\/25\/2013-best-bite-25-marshmallow-latte-big-shoulders-coffee\/\" title=\"2013 Best Bite #25: Marshmallow latte, Big Shoulders Coffee\">marshmallow latte<\/a>, with subtle sweetness from the coconut oil. It tasted even better after a few more sips, coating my throat in a pleasantly silky way. As the coffee cooled down, I grew a little more aware of visible oil inside the cup and could feel myself getting too full to finish it, but I enjoyed the flavor overall. The quinoa cakes made a light, protein-rich companion to the rich coffee, especially because of the bright, basil-packed tomato sauce.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2962\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2962\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/quinoacakesbeatrix.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/quinoacakesbeatrix.jpg\" alt=\"Quinoa cakes with poached eggs, Beatrix\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2962\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/quinoacakesbeatrix.jpg 554w, http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/quinoacakesbeatrix-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/quinoacakesbeatrix-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Quinoa cakes with poached eggs, tomato-basil sauce, poached-egg mayo, and window herbs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The details:<\/strong> <em><a href=\"http:\/\/beatrixchicago.com\/\" title=\"Beatrix\">Beatrix<\/a>, 519 N.
