Breakfast in Providence, RI

[crMA]

Any suggestions for a good breakfast restaurant in Providence, RI? Thank you.

The Liberty Elm Diner on Elmwood Ave. is a neat, funky, community-oriented spot for breakfast:

If you just want a good scone, bagel or pastry with the best coffee around, go to Coffee Exchange on Wickenden.

When the weather is nice, sitting on the porch at Coffee Exchange with a cup, a scone, and the paper is hard to beat.

I will also second the Modern Diner -- note that on weekends they have incredible breakfast specials.

I've also enjoyed brunch at the Rue de L'Espoir (just say the Rue) on Hope St. Good food and great coffee.

For something more old-school, Rufful's at Wayland Sq is hard to beat. It's been owned by the same family since it opened in 1957. Your standard omelets, eggs, muffins, etc, but you get a good taste of the East Side along with your food.

Not Providence, but not far if you've got a car, I always like the Modern Diner in Pawtucket.

Like Gin n' Tonic sayus, Nick's on Broadway is pretty good as well.

I've had some good brunches at Olga's Cup and Saucer, but also had some underwhelming stuff.

Brickway on Wickenden, Julian's or Nick's on Broadway. Or you could just type "breakfast providence" in the "Search this board" box at the top of the page.
