Blue's Egg in Wauwatosa draws weekend queues for stuffed hash browns and lemon ricotta hotcakes, Honeypie in Bay View leans Midwestern comfort, and Sobelman's downtown is known for its heavily garnished Bloody Mary. Cafe Corazon in Riverwest and Fork in the Road on the East Side cover the Mexican and vegan ends of the morning.
