Breakfast and Brunch Bargains 2005

Nobody notices if you've just rolled out of bed. At Savory, bikes and strollers are parked near the door, diners sit outside with their dogs, and some of the furniture looks like it belongs in your kitchen. The food is as homey as the atmosphere.

On Sundays from 9 am to 2 pm, the all-you-can-eat brunch is $10. Fill up on the basics: scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, eggs Benedict, and waffles you can top with glazed strawberries. There's a toaster for your bread. Coffee, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and hot tea are included; espresso drinks are available. We couldn't stop eating the cinnamon twists and mini blueberry muffins. While you're ordering at the counter, check out the desserts--we were glad we took home a piece of carrot cake ($3.25).
