Over the years breakfast has become a phenomenon in South Florida. Eggs benedict, bottomless coffee, and the sweet smell of bacon in the air. Who can resist? Explore these breakfast options to start your day off right.

The Boca Beach House

887 E Palmetto Park Rd, Boca Raton, FL

A wonderfully charming, eclectic place with tasty, reasonably priced food and incredibly friendly staff just a block from the beach. The menu has a perfect mixture of traditional and unique options - check out the awesome Crab Cake Benedict or avocado toast with eggs for elevated comfort breakfast. If you're feeling adventerous, try the eggsadilla or breakfast tacos. No matter what, bring your appetite; portions are genrous... the omlettes are called "five egg omelettes" for good reason.

Saquella Cafe

410 Via De Palmas, , Boca Raton, FL 33432

A healthy alternative to the fast food culture where the baristas are trained to prepare cappuccinos like you see in the movies and everything is made fresh in house. Saquella Café was offering outdoor dining before it was "a thing" and fresh, healthy options since inception. If you're craving carbs, the house made patries are very popular here.

Raw Juce

5560 N Military Trl, #310, Boca Raton FL 33496

TThe best organic ingredients in chef-created recipes for cold-pressed juices, smoothies, acai bowls, and salads that taste amazing. It’s a difference you can taste and feel. For those looking for die-hard "tastes like the lawn" kind of juice, it is available here; buy Raw Juce is just as well known for super sweet smoothies with heaps of goji berries and drizzles of honey on top. Bonus: raw vegan pastries. If you're into it, I recommend the "snickers."

Cote France

100 Plaza Real South, Boca Raton, FL 33432

Head chef Xavier started as an apprentice in a French bakery at the age of 13 and now serves up authentic French food, baked goods, and custom cakes that are prepared and baked daily. The cheesecake is airy and creamy, the eclairs are world class. You can not go wrong with the pastries. My personal favorite is the croque madame... the best I've had outside of Paris!

Bagelworks

8177 Glades Road, Unit 1&2, Boca Raton, FL 33434

Bagelworks is a locally-owned upscale bagel restaurant, with deli and take-out specializing in freshly made bagels, salads and overall "Ridiculously Good Food." Eat in or take out including a great patio and well done social distancing inside. They offer online ordering and takeout. Try the tuna - it's a local favorite. My choice: Carnegie Reuben sandwich!
