Sunny Side Up: The Best Breakfast Spots in Omaha
You've probably heard the saying, "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper." The idea is that breakfast should be the largest meal of the day, followed by lunch, then dinner coming in last. However, in daily life, we tend to do the opposite grab a protein bar for breakfast as we rush out the door, eat lunch at our desk, and settle down to a large leisurely dinner.
Fortunately, if you live in Omaha, NE, you have a number of amazing places to choose from so that you can start having breakfast like a king (or queen!) You can choose between cafs serving American classics, vegan/vegetarian options, brunch menus or diners with friendly service. Here at West Haven, Omahas premier apartment community, we compiled a list of our six favorite breakfast spots in the city. Lets dig in!
