Have a Great Breakfast. Have a Great Day. (It’s the eatZi’s Way!)

It’s the most important meal of the day, and the staff at eatZi’s takes breakfast seriously. From made-to-order omelets to tempting breakfast tacos and our world-famous waffles, there’s something for every appetite at The Grill.

Speaking of appetites, we see professional athletes, fitness experts and personal trainers in our markets every morning. They count on a variety of healthy options from eatZi’s to keep them going. For example, folks counting carbs can ask our chefs to prepare a protein-packed combo of egg whites and veggies. Our oatmeal is out of this world, especially when you add in fresh fruit.

Many eatZi’s breakfast lovers go for our classic, golden-brown waffles and sweet maple syrup, or the timeless favorite, bacon and eggs. My personal favorite? It’s a toss-up between a turkey, egg-white and mushroom burrito and the Italian muffin sandwich with salami, egg, bacon and basil cream.

We know it’s early, and we feel your pain. Our bakers are up before dawn baking fresh pastries, including flaky croissants, delicious danish and mouth-watering muffins. By the way, have you tried our Italian muffins yet? They’re the eatZi’s version of the English classic complete with all the nooks and crannies. Pair one with an espresso or freshly-brewed cappuccino at our Coffee Bar before you head to the office. No matter what you choose, make fueling up with fresh food the first priority of your day.

Come see us Monday through Friday from 7 am to 10 am and Saturday and Sunday from 7 am to 1 pm.

And for those weekend mornings at home when the kids (or you) are craving a homestyle favorite, try this recipe for Chef Jay’s famous French Toast!
