Breakfast Club may be surrounded by warehouses, but the experience is anything but cold and industrial (it has a bubblegum-pink awning, after all). Priding itself on signature home-style cooking, "scratch" is the catchword here, from the cream cheese-, cinnamon- and walnut-stuffed French toast to slowly simmered black beans and rice, served with freshly made tortillas.

Staples such as omelets, "melt-in-your-mouth" bacon & eggs and hashbrowns are well-worth venturing off the beaten path for. They really pack the tables in this homey little space, so quarters are pretty tight. Should you start to feel a bit claustrophobic, give the bar a whirl. With $4 breakfast cocktails like the bloody Mary, mimosa and cranberry sunrise, there's no way you can't start your day right.
