CAFÉ BRAZIL

Café Brazil has been a Dallas staple for nearly thirty years, serving up delicious breakfast favorites (seriously, the pancakes are heaven). Fans keep coming back for the cozy atmosphere, traditional Brazilian dishes, and, of course, the impressive coffee bar. From Sunday through Thursday, 5pm to 10pm, they even offer a free meal for kids 12 and under with the purchase of an adult entrée. Plus, teachers get a well-deserved discount when they dine in. And for the night owls? Three locations are open 24/7—because great coffee and comfort food should never have a bedtime!

E-BAR TEX-MEX

Since we’re in Texas, we had to share at least one Tex-Mex gem! If a classic eggs-and-bacon breakfast isn’t hitting the spot, how about huevos rancheros?

Plus, their daily drink specials make it even better—think $6 all-day margaritas on Tuesdays and $4 mimosas and bloody marys on Sundays. Now that’s a way to start (or end) your day right!
