In honor of Greasy Spoons Week, we're paying homage to breakfast by scoping out eateries that serve that most glorious, eggy, syrupy meal all day long. Whether you're craving gooey pancakes, a crispy fried egg sandwich, or a fluffy frittata, here are 13 all-day breakfast spots, that can provide a breakfast fix morning, afternoon, or night.
Did we miss your favorite all-day breakfast? Let us know in the comments.
Pannekoeken has been serving its famous Pannekoekens, an oven-baked Dutch pancake, to the Twin Cities for over 20 years. Try the bacon Pannekoeken or opt for the traditional Dutch Pannekoeken, topped with powdered sugar and a lemon wedge
Butter serves scratch-made breakfast Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stop by this quaint eatery for cinnamon-swirl French toast, or grab a fresh pastry and check out the daily quiche offerings.
This popular Uptown eatery serves breakfast daily until 4 p.m. Stop in for the Denver frittata (peppers, onions, ham, Tillamook cheddar, oregano, hash browns, and toast) or the shirred eggs (soft eggs, ham, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, truffle cream, and crostini).
This family-owned and operated breakfast spot serves up killer pancakes and darn good eggs; try the steak and eggs and the buttermilk cakes. LouAnn’s is open every day until 3 p.m. (2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday).
Swing by Hell’s Kitchen for the inventive bison benedict, which pairs charbroiled bison flank steak with a poached organic egg on a toasted English muffin, topped with tangerine-jalapeno hollandaise sauce. Don’t forget to try a side of the fried plantains or the toasted sausage bread (sausage, toasted walnuts, black currants, spices, and coffee). Hell’s Kitchen serves breakfast Monday through Friday until 3 p.m.
Collectively-owned Seward Café serves breakfast every day until 5 p.m. Try the super green earth (a hashbrown, organic egg, and onion scramble topped with steamed broccoli and melted white cheddar cheese) or a bagel sandwich, which stacks cream cheese, one egg, tomato, and spinach between a sesame bagel. They have many vegan options, as well.
The Longfellow Grill is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and serves breakfast all day, with one caveat: anything requiring bernaise or hollandaise sauce is not available after 4 p.m. Arrive before 4 p.m. and order the walleye benedict (walleye and shrimp cakes with poached eggs, housemade hollandaise, dill and hashbrowns), or come any time for the killer banana waffle or the breakfast tostadas.
This Grand Avenue icon is known for its generous portions of mouth-watering breakfast dishes like the Tex Mex (crispy hash browns grilled with diced sausage, smothered with melted cheddar, scrambled eggs, and sour cream, then wrapped in a tortilla and topped with salsa) and the biscuits and gravy. The Uptowner is open every day until 3 p.m. and late nights on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
The New Louisiana Café has been a St. Paul favorite for years. The chocolate chip cookie dough pancakes are worth a visit alone (buttermilk pancakes packed with cookie dough!), as is the spicy Cajun benedict. Stop in seven days a week (Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Saturday from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.).
This St. Paul hot spot has some of the best pancakes around. Stop in seven days a week for an order of buttermilk pancakes, or go really crazy and create your own omelette. Day by Day is open Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Stop by Mickey’s any time (really, it’s open 24 hours) for an order of “The Two’s” (two pancakes, two pieces of bacon or sausage, and two eggs) or the O’Brian Special, which comes with eggs, toast and potatoes O’Brian (made with green peppers, onions, and ham).
Keys Café serves breakfast all day at every one of its locations (note: its Raymond Street location is only open until 3 p.m. on weekdays and 2 p.m. on weekends).
