Early weekday brunch/breakfast below 14th st.
I need suggestions for great early morning (well, 7am to 9am) breakfast during the week. Something more than just a coffee shop or 7A or a diner. Balthazar is my favorite for an early breakfast, but I need to other restaurants too. I know there are plenty of other bistros in the area, but which ones open at 7am? Also, great french toast is a big plus too! Thanks!

clinton street baking company is a great suggestion. also would like to add the grey dog's coffee on carmine street - it's a coffeehouse, yes, but they have good food and a full breakfast menu. very cozy space, too. shopsin's would've been perfect as well, but unfortunately they just closed down (they're supposed to be reopen as a stand in the essex street market soon enough, if they haven't already). also, go to patisserie claude on w. 4th st between 7 and 8am when his croissants, pain au chocolat, and other baked goods are hot and fresh out of the oven - seriously, they're really terrific if you get them then. and cafe condessa on w. 10th st also opens up around 7:30am or so. their croissants, while not as good as claude's, are solid in their own right (at least when they were fresh out of the oven around that time) and they have other breakfast options as well.
