810 Coffee Den
Espresso and a panini on Welsh Road, with a back meeting room you can book for when working from home stops working. Weekday hours run 7:30 to 3:30, so it's a morning-and-lunch operation, not a nightcap.
Breakfast in the burbs
Every breakfast spot we vouch for, across every town we cover. Cross a town line for the good ones. That's the whole point.

A & N Diner & Family Restaurant
Gyros and souvlaki share the laminated menu with PA Dutch comfort plates, the only-out-here combination that's made this S. Main Street spot a local staple. Omelets come made to order and the portions assume you skipped lunch.
American Star Diner
The Welsh Road diner running round-the-clock, which settles where 2 a.m. breakfast happens in North Wales. Eggs hold at any hour, and so do the mains and the sweet stuff.
Angelo’s Café Bryn Mawr
Family-owned breakfast and lunch counter on Lancaster Ave that shuts by mid-afternoon. Two dozen omelets on the board, a scrapple Benedict and a dozen kinds of pancakes, then burgers and cheesesteaks once lunch starts.
Ardmore Station Cafe
Breakfast and lunch a few steps from the Ardmore train station on Station Road. The kitchen closes at 2pm and the doors stay shut Mondays, so this is a morning plan, not an evening one.
Arianna's Gourmet Cafe
A gourmet café on East Gay Street for breakfast and lunch, big on egg plates and sandwiches. An easy weekday-morning table on the east end of town.
Aunt Judy's Family Restaurant
Open at 6 a.m. seven days a week and closed by 1, because breakfast is the whole point. Strawberry crepes and the chicken-and-waffle combo lead the order.
Bada Bing Bagels
New York bagels, par-boiled in the city that invented them and finished fresh every morning in Quakertown, from a shop that owes its name to one too many Sopranos reruns. Former Pirates pitcher Mike Johnston opened it in December 2025.
The Bagel and Bread House
A from-scratch bagel and bread shop in the Horsham strip, strong on the morning bagel-and-spread run. Get there before the good ones are gone.
Bagel Barrel
Kettle-boiled bagels, baked on-site since 1993 and sold from 6 AM on weekdays. The nova lox is the move.
Bagel Train
Hand-rolled bagels on South Main, cash or check only, with a weekend line that forms before the fruit-and-nut ones sell out. Boar's Head goes on the bacon, egg and cheese.
The Biscuit Lady
A rotating lineup of 15-plus biscuit varieties, savory and sweet, plus 'holy biscuits' — deep-fried biscuit dough the shop pitches as a donut, but better. The Gay Street storefront is the second act of the Plymouth Meeting original, with La Colombe espresso behind the counter.
Bistro 1015
The new made-to-order counter at stand 315 inside the Quakertown Farmers Market, griddling all-day breakfast and a chopped cheese called The 4th Wall: half a pound of seasoned beef with Cooper sharp on a grilled long roll. Open the same three days a week as the market itself.
Bored Trading Cafe
A pop-up kitchen and coffee bar inside Almost Home General on Cricket Avenue. Coffee roasted in house, food made to order, and a room set up for laptops: smash burgers, chicken and waffles, espresso drinks.
Borough Bagels
Proper New York bagels, boiled and baked on site and done by 2. Flagels for the crust maximalists, nova lox sliced by the fillet, La Colombe in the cup.
BREAKFAST BRAVO
Breakfast and brunch counter on West Cypress Street, a little off the main drag. The morning stop, eggs and the rest of it.
The Brew Room
A Greek coffeehouse on West Lancaster Avenue from Danny and Eleni, who both grew up in northern Greece. The sandwiches lean on house-made whipped feta and zaatar hummus, and the pastry case runs to bougatsa.
Bridgeside Deli & Grille
West High Street deli where the breakfast sandwiches earn the detour off Bridge. Cash-register small talk included.
Brunch
The name says it: a Fayette Street kitchen built around breakfast and midday plates, with coffee to match. A weekend-morning fixture in the middle of town.
The Buttery | Ardmore
The Ardmore counter of the Buttery, a Malvern bakery running since 2015. Sourdough, bagels, croissants and canelés, with coffee alongside. This location is takeout only, so the pastry goes home with you.
The Buttery | Bryn Mawr
A bakery, coffee shop and scratch kitchen that has been going since 2015, with the Bryn Mawr room open every day from 7am for sourdough, pastries and coffee. Dine in or take out, service dogs only inside.
C & C Cafe
A breakfast-and-lunch counter that's been family-run since 2008 and only opens Friday through Sunday, 8 to 2. The stuffed French toast is the reason to set a weekend alarm; the omelettes and hoagies carry the rest of the ticket.
Cafe
This café keeps it simple, name included, at 143 Lincoln Highway in Coatesville. A coffee stop on the Route 30 strip.
Café @ The Mill
Breakfast and lunch inside Wambold's Grist Mill, built in 1737 on the East Branch of the Perkiomen and empty for years before its recent revival. Order the Texas French toast or the barn burger, and chips and salsa land on the table while you wait.
Café Com Leite
Brazilian café on South Main doing pão de queijo, strong coffee, and plates you won't find elsewhere in the burbs. The name is the order.
Cafe Emís
Coffee and casual plates on West State Street in downtown Kennett. The room fills up, so it has earned its regulars.
The Classic Diner
Breakfast and lunch only — creative takes on the classics with more polish than the word 'diner' promises, and they've been at it since September 1995. Doors open at 6:30 a.m.; the kitchen wraps by 2 on weekdays, 3 on weekends.
Coffee Cup Restaurant
Old-school diner on East Lancaster Ave, all-day breakfast and bottomless coffee. Booths, a counter, and a menu that runs eggs to club sandwiches.
Collegeville Diner
The big diner on East Main, the one with the laminated menu that runs pages long and a booth open for whatever hour you wander in. Order breakfast whenever you feel like it.
Common Grounds Café and Catering
Every purchase at this Manna on Main Street café funds their free job-training program — and the crew serving you is in it. Weekday mornings only, 9 to 1.
Country Bagel Bakery
A Gay Street bagel shop working the morning rush with fresh bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Regulars order without reading the board.
Country Place Restaurant
Family-owned restaurant and bar that's been at it in Perkasie for 50 years, with a menu that ranges from steaks and seafood to baked ziti. Sunday breakfast, served 7:30 to noon, has its own following.
Covered Bridge Cafe
The cafe in the barn at Tohickon Family Campground, open to non-campers through an entrance in the camp store. The season runs from early April to the start of November, with breakfast served 9 to noon on Saturdays and Sundays.
Crate & Press Juice Bar
A juice bar in Keswick Village, opened in 2018 by two childhood friends who brought the idea back from West Coast and Miami trips. Cold-pressed juices and organic smoothies, plus acai bowls and paninis made to order.
Creek Side Diner
Family-owned diner out on West Baltimore Pike where breakfast is served all day. Lunch too, and nothing fancier than it needs to be.
Cup of Joy
Açaí bowls, smoothies, and toasts built on organic, no-added-sugar ingredients, all of it vegan and gluten-free. A husband-and-wife project five years in the making, and one of three — the siblings are in Pottstown and Thorndale.
Daryl's Pastries Inc
Counter bakery on N Keswick Avenue turning out donuts and danish, with breakfast sandwiches and coffee alongside and custom cakes made to order. There is no website, so the phone is how you reach them.
Deli on 4th
A Fayette Street deli working the breakfast-and-lunch counter, sandwiches to order and coffee to go. A steady weekday stop between the train and the office towers.
Delice et Chocolat - Ardmore
A French pastry shop and cafe from brothers Joseph and Antonie Amrani, who grew up in Grenoble. The Ardmore room was a tailor shop for 75 years before the croissants, croque monsieur and cakes moved in.
Double D Diner
A no-fuss Lincoln Highway diner running breakfast through dinner, seven days a week, 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. One regular on the diner's own testimonial page has eaten a lifetime of ham-and-cheese omelettes and ranks this one near the top.
Downingtown Diner
A Lancaster Avenue diner running the full breakfast-all-day playbook. Vinyl booths and a menu that goes on for pages.
Duke's Cafe®️
Breakfast and lunch cafe on Gibraltar Road, the flagship of the two Duke's counters in Horsham. Eggs, sandwiches, and coffee for the office-park crowd.
Duke's Cafe®️ EXPRESS
The grab-and-go version of Duke's Cafe, tucked into the Witmer Road offices for a fast breakfast or lunch. Same kitchen, counter-service pace.
Edgewood Cafe
Breakfast and lunch all day, seven days a week, on a corner of historic Edgewood Village. The Ellis coffee comes in flavors like Jamaican Me Crazy, if you like your coffee to sound like a cocktail.
Elcy's Cafe
Coffee shop on West Glenside Avenue, open from 6:30 on weekday mornings and pouring Valley Green Coffee. Its site carries a Best of Glenside 2025 badge for best coffee and best coffee shop.
Everything Bagel Cafe
The bagel counter on N Main in North Wales, boiling and baking through the morning rush. Order one built into a sandwich or plain with a schmear and don't overthink it.
EZ Breakfast On State
Eggs, pancakes, and zero ceremony on East State. In and out before the meter needs feeding.
Fill A Bagel & Breads
Bagels and fresh bread on Old York Road, built for the morning rush and a sandwich order the length of your arm. A weekend-line kind of place.
The Fizzy Fern
Dirty soda done right: Sprite or Dr Pepper loaded with cream and flavored syrup, poured from a counter inside the Just One More Plant shop on North Main. Pair one with a real New York bagel, browse the houseplants on your way out, and go back for the Garlic Parm before it runs out.
Floga Bistro
An Italian BYOB on Baltimore Pike that opens every day as a breakfast spot — until noon on weekdays, 1 p.m. on weekends — before swinging to pasta and pizza at dinner. Gluten-free bread, pasta, and crust are all on the menu too.
Floral & Hardy of Skippack
A cafe on Skippack Pike doing breakfast and lunch, with the coffee to match. The kind of morning stop where the regulars have a usual.
Flourish Cafe
A café doing homemade Eastern European cooking on South Eagle Road — fresh brunch up front, a long menu of old-country favorites behind it.
Franconia Heritage Restaurant
Built from the ground up in 1979, with a buffet schedule that does the heavy lifting — breakfast spreads Saturday and Sunday mornings, dinner buffets Friday and Saturday nights, a salad bar daily after 11. When fresh peaches arrive, the bakery's order form gets top billing on the homepage.
Franconia Square Cafe & Market
Andrew and Pam Brunner fire up the griddle at 5:30 a.m. — breakfast and lunch in the cafe, hoagies and hot grill sandwiches to go on the market side. When the menu says 'Our Own,' it means they made it here.
Fruitella
Sweet and savory crepes from a small counter on E Broad, run off a Facebook page more than a website. Everything is made to order, so build in a few minutes of standing around.
Fuel City Cafe'
Fuel City Cafe is a coffee stop on Lincoln Highway in Coatesville. Espresso and a quick bite before the Route 30 run.
Good Girls Bakery
A sourdough bakery and cafe that started at farmers markets across Chester County before landing a permanent Eagleview storefront in May 2024. The loaves get the billing, but the English muffins carry a reputation of their own — breakfast and lunch run all day.
Gramm's Kitchen
Family diner that's fed East Gay Street since 2000, open 6 to 8 daily. The soup rotation is set in stone — crab bisque lands on Saturdays — and coffee drops to a dollar on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
Green Street Grill
Downingtown breakfast-and-lunch diner on Pennsylvania Ave that fills up on weekend mornings. Eggs, pancakes, and the usual griddle lineup.
Greenstraw Cafe
Açaí bowls piled with fresh fruit, granola, and drizzles, plus smoothies blended with fruit and plant milks. Everything is build-your-own if the set menu doesn't suit.
Horsham Family Restaurant
A sit-down family spot on Easton Road running breakfast and lunch off a diner-style menu. The kind of counter where the regulars don't need to order out loud.
Izenberg's Deli
A Fayette Street deli running breakfast and lunch, from egg sandwiches to overstuffed hoagies. Counter service, a few tables, and morning regulars who order without looking at the menu.
J-Town Market & Eatery
Part corner market, part kitchen on Greenwood Avenue, turning out sandwiches and prepared food to go. Grab breakfast, a hoagie, or dinner you didn't feel like cooking.
Jake's Eatery Newtown
The Richboro family diner added a Newtown location in 2011, with an eclectic menu and doors open at 7 a.m. seven days a week. This room is BYOB.
Jeannie's Deli
Athens Avenue deli with a 6am open and a specials board rewritten every day. Meatball subs, turkey reubens, grilled chicken quesadillas, and five soups daily, chili and chicken gumbo among them.
John's Plain & Fancy Diner
A proper diner on S West End Blvd with a menu long enough to earn the name. Breakfast runs whenever you want it, which at a diner is always.
Jp's Diner
Diner on West Broad doing breakfast at any hour, pancakes and bottomless coffee included. The kind of place where ordering eggs at 3 p.m. raises nothing.
The Juice Pod, Bryn Mawr
Raw juices, smoothies and acai bowls a few blocks from Villanova's campus on Lancaster Avenue. The Bryn Mawr shop opened in 2019, run by the sister of the woman who started the brand in 2016.
Julie Anne's Place
A breakfast-and-lunch spot on South Warren Avenue in Malvern. Eggs, pancakes, and the standard morning lineup, done without fuss.
Kathy's Country Kitchen
The griddle is on at 6 a.m. seven days a week, and the cooking runs clear through dinner beside a hearth-style fireplace. The menu's Chicken Coop section does chicken over half a dozen ways.
Koffee Korner Café
Breakfast and lunch all day on North Broad, with coffee and homemade soups. Show up between 6 and 9 on a weekday morning and the omelette special is five dollars.
Lancers Diner
A diner has held this stretch of Easton Road since the 1940s — plenty of longtime locals still call it Dutch's — and the Lancers name went up in 1991. These days it keeps breakfast-and-lunch hours, 7 to 3 daily.
Las Fridas Mexican kitchen Bryn Mawr
Street-style Mexican on Lancaster Avenue, named for Frida Kahlo, with sibling kitchens in Doylestown and Lansdale. Doors open at 9:30am, so breakfast tacos and huevos rancheros divorciados share the board with quesabirria and grilled octopus.
Lincoln Diner
The west-end diner on Lincoln Highway, open every day 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Order direct through their site and they knock 10 percent off — they'll even deliver, seven days a week.
Little Chef
Little Chef is the family diner on Strode Avenue and a longtime Coatesville breakfast fixture. Big breakfasts and a lunch counter that stays busy.
The Metropolitan, American Diner & Bar
A diner that got restless: chipotle-glazed meatloaf, sweet onion and goat cheese burgers, chocolate chip cookie dough egg rolls, and breakfast served all day. The lounge side pours a dozen drafts and runs its happy hour every single day, not just when the office crowd shows up.
Mil-Lee's Diner
Breakfast and lunch only, 7 to 3, and the blueberry pancakes come out stacked high with real butter and syrup. No reservations and no dinner, so you walk in off South Main and wait your turn like everybody else.
Moonlight Diner
A breakfast-first diner on Limekiln Pike, doing the standard griddle and egg menu at diner prices. It keeps no website of its own, so call ahead if you want the hours confirmed.
Morning Talk Cafe
Bagels, a bakery case, and coffee on the Fayette Street strip, open early for the breakfast crowd. The sort of counter where the morning regulars and the person pouring are on a first-name basis.
Mr. B's Coffeehouse
A full-menu coffeehouse attached to Calvary Church out on Route 113 — first-timers report it takes a minute to find. Breakfast runs all day, and the indoor Playzone keeps kids busy while you finish your cup.
Nanas Kitchen & Catering LLC
A N Narberth Ave kitchen doing homestyle breakfast and lunch, plus catering for the neighborhood's parties. Eggs, sandwiches, and the sort of plates the name promises.
New Rising Sun Cafe
Breakfast and lunch counter in the Ardsley Station building, running on Rival Bros. coffee and focaccia baked in house. Egg and cheese in the morning, herb chicken salad and a chipotle chicken club by noon.
Newtown Bagel Company
Baking NY-style bagels on Swamp Road since 2001, and the shop's own pick for top seller is the bacon-egg-and-cheese. Open seven days but only until 2 — this is a morning operation.
Nock's Cafe
A daytime cafe on Bethlehem Pike in Sellersville, open 7 to 2 every day for breakfast and lunch. There's no website to scout the menu ahead of time, so you sort it out at the table.
Nudy's Bridge Street Cafe
Breakfast-and-lunch at the top of Bridge Street, part of the area's Nudy's family. The line moves; the pancakes hold.
Nudy's Cafe Conshohocken
A Fayette Street breakfast-and-brunch spot from the suburban Nudy's family, open early for eggs, pancakes, and a mug of coffee. The kind of morning table where the booths fill up fast on a Saturday.
Nudy's Cafe West Chester
The West Chester branch of the local Nudy's cafe family, sibling to the Bridge Street Cafe up in Phoenixville, working the breakfast-and-lunch shift on West Market Street. Doors at 7 a.m., wrapped by mid-afternoon; a strictly daylight operation.
Our Daily Bagel
Bagels boiled and baked on Fayette Street, with breakfast sandwiches and spreads to match. A morning stop for people heading to the train or lingering over coffee.
Our Deli & Cafe
Nutt Road deli-café doing the early shift right: eggs on a roll, coffee in a hurry, everyone's name remembered eventually.
Pat's Colonial Kitchen
A breakfast-and-lunch room running since 1988 out of the historic Whitehall Building, with homemade jam on every table and cannoli pancakes on the menu. The kitchen closes at 2pm, so get there for the apple-cheese-and-sausage omelet before it does.
Penn's Table Restaurant
A downtown breakfast-and-lunch counter on West Gay Street, the kind of American diner where the coffee keeps coming and the regulars have a usual. Come for eggs and pancakes before you walk the borough.
Poppa Frank's
American breakfast-and-lunch kitchen in Village Row that unlocks at 6 a.m., hours before the rest of New Hope wants coffee. The kitchen closes at 2, and the whole operation rests on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
Quakertown Family Restaurant
Full-menu family spot on N West End Blvd where a lot of Quakertown breakfasts start. Booth seating and a menu long enough that nobody leaves hungry.
R J Bagels
The bagel counter at 107 Makefield Road — doors open at 7 a.m., Mondays off. One review gets it exactly right: crispy outside, chewy and soft in the middle, which is the entire job of a bagel.
Ralph's Corner Diner
Breakfast and lunch only, 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day, in a corner spot out on West Main. Breakfast sandwiches carry the morning; 8-ounce Angus burgers take over at noon.
Reed's Breakfast and Nitro Bar
Classic breakfast plates and mini pancakes over a 70s soundtrack, with a nitro bar pouring cold brew and coffee floats. Doors open at 8 and close by 1 most days, so this is a morning move, not a lazy-lunch one.
Rio Dulce Mexican Restaurant & Bakery
Part Mexican restaurant, part bakery, part market on West Main, with a front case of pan dulce and tres leches cake baked fresh every day. Sit down for sizzling fajitas or the breakfast they recently added, then grab a special-occasion cake on the way out.
The Rockhill Filling Station
Family restaurant on Ridge Road cooking traditional American, old menu styles and new — breakfast from 7 a.m. daily, with BBQ ribs and homemade soups when dinner runs Wednesday through Saturday. Mondays and Tuesdays the kitchen closes at 2, so plan those as breakfast runs.
Rocky’s Deli Style Restaurant
Forty-five years on East Glenside Avenue, run by Joe and Clem along with Donna. Breakfast platters and the Rock 'O' Muffin until 11, then cheesesteaks, hoagies and homemade salads the rest of the day.
Roots Cafe
The brunch spot on East Gay Street, with the kind of weekend line that tells you the pancakes are worth the wait. Breakfast and lunch, big plates, a room that fills fast.
Roy Ann Diner
The Roy Ann is a diner on Bethlehem Pike in Sellersville. Google currently shows it open only Tuesday through Thursday, 6 to 8 — call before you drive over, because that's a thin week for a diner.
Santiago's Family Restaurant
Breakfast and lunch only, seven days a week, from a family kitchen inside the Babylon Business Campus off Horsham Road. Doors open at 7 and close at 2, so this is an eggs-and-a-club-sandwich place, not a dinner plan.
Simply Fruits
Açaí and kale bowls, fresh juices, toasties, and tea, plus hot oatmeal and yogurt parfaits that push it past smoothie-stand territory into breakfast. One of two shops — the other's in Jenkintown.
So Fresh So Green Cafe
Cold-pressed juices and whole-food smoothies that took Bucks County's best-drinks title in 2023, out of a Black-owned counter on 7th Street. It started as a stall at the Perkasie farmers market and still turns up there in season, now with a coffee-and-breakfast menu you can sit down to.
Souderton Family Restaurant
The Main Street diner where the coffee keeps coming and the booths fill early. Breakfast and lunch regulars have their orders down cold.
State Street Kitchen
A daytime counter on South State where the cheesesteaks and hoagies share a menu with Korean cooking, run by Micha Kearney for more than 20 years. The kitchen shuts by mid-afternoon, so it's a breakfast-and-lunch stop, not a dinner plan.
Stewart's Arch Street Deli
A family-run counter in Perkasie's Olde Towne where the breakfast sandwich comes standard with two eggs and two slices of cheese, the meat and the bread left up to you. Come lunch, the cheesesteak is what the regulars are actually there for.
Stony Hill Kitchen
Weekday-only breakfast and lunch on the Newtown–Yardley line, at it since 2016: pancakes that aren't from a box, soups made daily, La Colombe in the pot. The breads come from bakeries in Philadelphia and New York, the tell that this is no standard-issue lunch counter.
Sunday's Deli & Restaurant
Breakfast-and-lunch counter on Front Street where the coffee keeps coming and the regulars order by heart. Eggs and sandwiches, no particular hurry.
Sweet Brew Cafe
Coffee and breakfast mid-Bridge-Street, sized for a laptop-free morning. The name undersells the espresso.
Sweet Briar Cafe
Roots that trace back to a 1924 Bedminster farm, now a walk-up ice cream window and a monthly four-course tasting dinner in the same small room. Chad Reese has been in the kitchen since 2012 and has owned the place with his wife Kristen since 2019.
A Taste of Philly
A soft pretzel bakery on North Easton Road that opens early. Philly-style twists and mini strips are the counter staples, with nuggets sold by the 20, 50 or 100 and party trays for a crowd.
Tigers Family Restaurant
The griddle fires at 5 a.m. and breakfast runs all day, with banana-nut pancakes and s'mores French toast doing the heavy lifting. Portions land bigger than the plate, the whole point of a Broad Street diner with 800-some reviews behind it.
Two Birds Cafe
Husband-and-wife scratch kitchen on the Downingtown Pike edge of town, where Justin and Jess do all-day breakfast, lunch and their own baked goods. Closed Tuesdays, and no weekend reservations — come early.
UnCommon Grounds
The cafe in the Campus Center at Bryn Mawr College, with coffee out front and a short-order kitchen doing sandwiches, salads, quesadillas, burgers and pizza. Hours move with the academic calendar.
up-RYES Bagel & Deli
Hand-rolled bagels that rise more than 24 hours before they hit the oven, from a shop a few steps off the Bryn Mawr train station. Deli sandwiches on house-baked bread, omelets and cinnamon buns too. Doors close at 2pm.
Valentino's Bistro
Breakfast and lunch only from a family that's run the place for years, with the kitchen going dark at 2 p.m. Order the eggs benedict, which comes on real lump crab, and bring your own bottle for a weekend table.
The Village Diner
A Keswick Avenue diner that keeps daylight hours, 8 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon, seven days a week. Breakfast and lunch, and then the lights go off.
The Weekday Cafe
Breakfast-and-lunch cafe in the Gibraltar Road office park, open weekdays like the name says. Counter coffee and sandwiches for people working out here.
Welcome Home Cafe
Brunch and breakfast on Old York Road, treated in Jenkintown as a weekend institution. Come Sunday there's a wait, and people stand in it.
West Main Diner
A breakfast-only diner where the griddle goes cold at noon and Mondays are dark. The meat comes from Hatfield up the road, and the regulars have their orders in before you've found a parking spot.
West Point Deli Plus
The 5 a.m. deli on Sumneytown Pike — breakfast plates, stacked hoagies, and a chipped-beef-on-toast platter for the old-school crowd. The 'Plus' is the shelf of odds and ends: tomato pies, pizzelles, donuts, whatever came in that week.
Willy's Family Restaurant
Family-style diner on Lincoln Highway East, the all-day-menu kind. Come for breakfast, or come at two in the afternoon and order breakfast anyway.
Yardley Bagel Cafe
Family-run bagel cafe in the Stony Hill strip — everything made fresh daily, kitchen running 7 to 2, seven days a week. Breakfast stretches from pork roll and eggs clear to steak and eggs.
