You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to the most important meal of the day: Breakfast.
Lee Road Deli, though famous for their deep fried cheesesteak eggrolls and deli sandwiches, serves generous portions from a no-frills breakfast menu every weekday morning from 7 to 11 and on Saturday’s from 9-11. If you prefer to be overwhelmed by choice when it comes to breakfast, visit Eggspectation, a Canadian chain restaurant with a huge menu, where you will find something to please everyone, especially pancake and french toast lovers.
If you prefer your breakfast to be small and mostly caffeine based, look no further than local gem Cafein, a small cafe with big heart and savory breakfast sandwiches and delicate pastries. This is a great spot to sip a frothy coffee while you read emails or catch up with a friend in the middle of a busy morning.
