The Corner Restaurant – 105 River Street, Milford, CT: Our very own Justin Henri (@JustinHenri23) made this recommendation. He likes it so much he wrote a review this past July. Check out their menu and hours at http://thecornerbrunch.com.

Bella’s Cafe – 896 Whalley Ave, New Haven, CT: Thanks to Seth Adam (@SethAdam) for the suggestion. Word on the street is their brie stuffed french toast with raspberry maple syrup is pretty amazing. Check out their menu at http://bellascafect.com/.

Lena’s Cafe and Confections – 873 Whalley Ave, New Haven, CT:  Another great suggestion by Seth. Be sure to try their corned beef hash or pumpkin french toast. Check out their menu & specials at http:/www.lenascafeandconfections.com/.

The Pantry – 2 Mechanic Street, New Haven, CT:  Yet another suggestion by Seth.  The big hit here is their eggs benedict and cinnamon roll french toast. They don’t yet have a website, but you can get directions & hours on their Google+ page.

Rudy’s – 1227 Chapel St, New Haven, CT:  Historically known for their amazing Belgian frites, Rudy’s has undergone a major transformation – expanding their menu and changing locations. Our good pal Mindy Mekhail (@MindyMekhail) suggested their weekend brunch, saying she goes there “probably too often”. The brunch menu is available on Saturday’s and Sunday’s and features Caramelized Egg Nog French Toast and Croque-Madame.  See their full menu at http://www.rudysnewhaven.com/.

Cafe Atlantique – 33 River St, Milford, CT: Offering an impressive selection of crepes, coffees and teas, Cafe Atlantique is a great European-style cafe right in the heart of downtown Milford. Nearby business Villa Gormet (@thevillagourmet) gave us this recommendation.  Check them out on the web at http://cafeatlantiquedtm.com/.

The Hidden Kitchen – 705 Boston Post Rd, Ste C4, Guilford, CT: This is Linda M’s (@linpman) favorite spot. Regulars love their home fries and large portions. Join them on Facebook here.

Last but not least, Holly (@Ancratyne) says her favorite breakfast spot is “Home!”, saying “I make the best banana amaretto pancakes.”  That sounds pretty epic to us. Here’s a recipe.
