In Short
Sunday brunch wouldn't be complete without cozy environs, a bit of a wait and tasty surprises, such as complimentary mini-scones. Add the original tile soda-fountain counter with stools, huge mirrors and detailed woodwork from the pharmacy that originally inhabited the spot, and you've got one charming breakfast spot. Omelets are fluffy and filled with ingredients such as mushrooms and Gorgonzola. Corned beef hash is rife with chunks of beef blanketed by sunny-side up eggs.

Zell's is a great breakfast cafe in SE. The food is so delicious- they use lots of fresh and local ingredients to make things as perfect as possible. There's usually a huge wait on weekends. You get free scones while you wait, too!

This cute breakfast spot in SE is cozy yet has an upscale feel to it without being too much. They bring you delicious scones for free while you sip on coffee and wait for your meal. There are usually 10 different specials on the chalk board and everything I've had has been scrumptious.

Zell's is our first and favorite choice for breakfast. The menu has so many wonderful descriptions it is difficult to choose which to try next. Each dish we've ordered was delicious, perfectly seasoned, hot and bountiful (to-go boxes are a must)! The friendly staff delivers prompt service. Our coffee cups are never empty and they offer to-go cups when we leave. Fresh, hot scones are delivered "before" you order with fragrant jams already on the table. Our children's favorite. There may be a wait, but coffee service is provided on a help yourself basis and we consider it a very good sign that people are willing to wait for this excellent neighborly restaurant.
