Over in Manalapan, John G’s has been helping customers start their day since 1973, when founder John Giragos decided to pair breakfast and lunch with a view of the water. His three children now run the beloved eatery. Despite a selection of international-style omelets, the specialty here is French toast augmented with raisin cream cheese or crunchy honey granola, or flavored with cinnamon, nuts, and sliced almonds.

Although your mom was right about breakfast being the most important meal of the day, it’s vital to guard against boredom. Yolk, a concept by Taki Kastanis, offers a cure for the morning doldrums at its first Florida location in Boca Raton. The menu features benedicts, Nutella crepes, and five-egg omelets, with a croque madame for the sophisticates alongside chicken and waffles for the down-home crowd.
