It’s hard to deny the charm of breakfast: the runny eggs, the garlicky sinangag, or the sweet maple syrup to start your day and best shared with loved ones over morning cartoons or news.
Breakfast is a dining genre in its own. A beautiful mix of sweet and savory flavors, crispy and fluffy textures. That’s why craving breakfast for lunch, dinner, or even after-hours is totally understandable. How can you not crave waffles, bacon and eggs any time of the day? So, for all those times you’ve craved breakfast at odd hours, we’ve gathered several restaurants and cafés that serve it at any time of the day. You’re welcome.
