Many of us start the day with a coffee on the run or a bowl of cold cereal, but T.C. Eggington's proposes a few superior options: freshly baked cinnamon buns fried in custard batter, pastries stuffed with crabs, or apple walnut muffins. If you make it a brunch, you can even have a mimosa with your meal.

This warm eatery filled with a delightful aroma has been treating Mesa residents with a proper breakfast or brunch for the last 30 years. On the weekends, the pleasant country-kitchen atmosphere draws in many of families that indulge in their omelets, pastries, and eggs in every shape and form.

They go through 8,000 eggs every week, and no two dishes are the same. They also serve great, healthy lunches with imaginative salads and soups made from scratch every day.
