I LOVE breakfast. I mean, so, so much. Lucky for me (and you!), there\u2019s no shortage of places in town to get a great breakfast! Actually, every month, I take each of our kids on a breakfast date. So, these recommendations come tested and approved by the Groves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Triple XXX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This beloved West Lafayette landmark has been enjoyed by tastebuds for decades! Started WAY back when it was a root beer stand, the Triple XXX is now known for their delicious breakfast and lunch options, as well as hand-dipped milkshakes! (All rules go out the window on the aforementioned breakfast dates . . . so this might be THE reason our kids love it so much.) If you ask my son, he\u2019d tell you to get the biscuits and gravy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Christos in West Lafayette is a family restaurant serving comfort foods. They have the absolute best omelets. Oh, YUM! If you like a place to sit and chat over a warm cup of coffee in a cushiony booth, this is your stop!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8Eleven Bistro<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

8Eleven Bistro in the Purdue Memorial Union is the perfect place for a celebratory brunch. Not only do they have fabulous food, but they also serve up a variety of breakfast beverages. (Mimosa, anyone?) I highly recommend the avocado toast or the crepes. Beware, if there\u2019s a big campus event happening (hello, graduation weekend), you\u2019ll want to skip this spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Side Diner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

West Side Diner is newer to the scene, but it\u2019s as fabulous as it sounds. Slip into a booth or belly up to the breakfast bar! They have everything you\u2019d expect at a breakfast joint, including our daughter\u2019s favorite: Nutella banana pancakes. You\u2019ll see a variety of people, some enjoying the paper leisurely, others merely pit-stopping on their way to the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hammer Down Doughnuts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OK, this is an AWESOME new addition to downtown Lafayette! Hammer Down Doughnuts isn\u2019t new to the area, but they are in their first storefront, and it\u2019s perfect! They had a drool-worthy display case, with extra booths to sit in as well. It was easy to pull up out front and grab our treats to-go! I honestly don\u2019t know how you could go wrong with any<\/em> of their flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Country Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Country Caf\u00e9 is the newest spot to the West Lafayette brunch scene, and it was good. I enjoyed a birthday breakfast there with my mom and sister, and we had coffee, breakfast casserole, pancakes. You can\u2019t beat the prices, either!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are your area favorites? Let me know because as you might have guessed, I\u2019m always up for a new breakfast spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
