Woodbar’s Monkey Bun ($2.50)
You know you shouldn’t eat that entire batch of sticky-sweet monkey bread yourself, but a monkey bun, well, that’s another story. It’s, you know, smaller.
Breakfast Burritos Anonymous’s Flapstix ($4.99)
Imagine a corndog made out of pancakes with a delicious breakfast sausage center that you dip in butter pecan syrup instead of mustard. Now stop imagining and go get one.
French Riviera Café’s Pain Au Chocolat ($2.25)
For best results, pair this dark chocolate doozy with the café’s signature cappuccino (made with Illy beans). Done.
Hot Bagel Shop’s Bialy with Schmear ($3.04)
Any schmear, really. Okay, we prefer the lox spread, but anyway, you can’t lose with this classic bagel-without-a-hole, topped with chopped onion and poppy seeds.
Pondicheri Bake Lab’s Nightingale ($5)
Pick up this pocket-sized all-in-one-breakfast at Pondicheri’s second-floor bakery—a millet and wheat pastry shell filled with Indian-spiced meat and vegetables that’ll keep you perked up all morning.
