That first meal of the day. Nothing beats it. If it’s great it can make your whole day; if it’s bad, well, let’s not go there.

We all have our favorite place to stop off for that daybreak special. It seems that there are small coffee shops all across the country that inspire loyalty in dozens of locals. And some weary travelers will stop in, be amazed, and spread the word to their friends and relatives.

That’s what we want to hear. Let us know your favorite places for the morning repast. Not the franchises or big chains that everyone is familiar with, but the little mom & pop breakfast nooks that have their own personality, for better or worse.

So where is your favorite stop for breakfast and a cup o’ Joe? Send us an email! Tell us a story of your favorite place, a recent discovery, or that surprise on the road to somewhere. Include pics if you have them, an address if you remember to get it, and your best recollections of the menu.

Thanks for stopping by!
