The morning shortlist

- Blue Fox Café — the famous breakfast salad
- Jam Café — chicken and waffles, sweet meets salty
Stop one
John's Place
I happen to love Eggs Benedict, and this place offers every variety that has ever crossed any individual's mind — and they are all delicious. The hollandaise is freshly made and very tasty.
The place is not a fancy-looking site or anything; it's more of a cozy, familiar atmosphere — but the food they serve, plus the great attention to detail and warm treatment, makes up for everything else.
I had a wonderful time, and I definitely recommend it.
Stop two
Blue Fox Café
Do yourself a favour: go there, ask for the breakfast salad, and let your palate taste that amount of flavours summed up. It is a feast for the taste buds and will leave you satisfied, to say the least.
If you feel like adding something more traditional, ask for the French toast — also mind-blowing, with a home-made syrup that tastes natural and delicious.
This place is a definitive must.
Stop three
Jam Café
Do you have a palate for sweet and salty tastes mixed up in your food? If so, you will definitely love the chicken and waffles.
They will open your mind and your appetite — the presentation alone really activates your taste buds.
Also, The Gravy Coop and the Pulled Pork Pancakes are some of the best options in the history of humankind to start your day.
Don't be afraid — taste them all. You might surprise yourself.
