Breakfast Recommendations

[Fold FB Invest in BB]

So I'm getting up early and driving down to Tampa to take some clients out to breakfast before a meeting. Any recommendations? I can easily find a Panera or something like that, so I'm looking for something local and good. My meeting is in the vicinity of 301 and 75, so close to there would be ideal, but I'm willing to go out of my way if the food can justify it.

 

Thanks.

How far into Tampa are willing to drive? I can give you some recommendations in Seminole Heights and S. Tampa.

Fire away. I just have to do the maths to see what time I need to leave Orlando.

How's 'bout "The Brunchery" on South MacDill Avenue...just a stone's throw from the Crosstown....looks to be about a 90-minute drive from "Orlando".

Hop off the Crosstown @ Bay to Bay, and make a right on South MacDill.

 

Quality cuisine...and there's a bakery just a few doors down for something to gnaw on later.

I was going to recommend Pane Rustica right next door to the Brunchery and Pinky's is just around the corner on Bay to Bay. Both are pretty solid.

 

In Seminole Heights, Three Coins is the definition of "greasy spoon," but its cheap and good. And the cafe attached to the Independent (yes, the bar on Florida) is very good.

Blech.  That's everyone's go-to here in ATL.  I'm more a Jason's Deli, ATL Bread Company or iHop guy myself.

Yes....Pane Rustica...that's the bakery!

Now, another spot, similar cuisine to (though I rank it a tad higher) Three Coins, would be

"Pop & Son's" on North Dale Mabry...just a short and non-scenic drive from our NON-OCS.

 

We stop in there ever so often, after a game before heading back to the ranch.
