For more than 30 years, this family-owned restaurant/bakery/gift shop has been delighting Tucsonans with great food, fine service and delicious breakfasts. Let's start with the three-egg omelets: There are at least 13 mix-and-match combinations, including items such as avocado, spinach and chicken. Want a little south-of-the-border spice? Try the chorizo scramble, the huevos rancheros or the ever-popular breakfast burrito. If carbs are your thing, the French toast is made with yummy whole-wheat cinnamon-raisin bread. For vegetarians, there is the tofu scramble, a staple on the menu long before tofu was fashionable. Gluten-free options are available, and most breakfast items are served until 5 p.m. If your appetite can stand the short wait, hold out for a table on the covered patio.
