People eat three times a day to prevent mouthy mouths from brashly blurting out their distaste for the rest of the digestive system. Today's Groupon prevents intra-system quarreling by subduing chatty cheeks with café eats: for $5, you get $10 worth of breakfast fare, drinks, and more at Funk 'N Waffles, which is within walking distance of Syracuse University.

Funk 'N Waffles boasts an eclectic menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner edibles crafted from natural, organic, and local ingredients. Build your own breakfast bunker with Funk 'N Waffles extensive stockpile of more than 25 sweet and savory waffle toppings, such as strawberries, peanut butter, pulled pork, spinach, and mashed potatoes, all available to mix into one of eight types of waffle batter, including buttermilk, whole wheat, or brownie. Those suffering from a crippling case of batter block can choose from pre-concocted confections such as the Earth, Wind, and Fire, a whole-wheat waffle crowned with walnuts, bananas, and honey ($5.99), or the Monte Cristo, a Brussels waffle adorned with baked ham, melted swiss, and an egg over-easy ($7.49).

Funk 'N Waffles also serves up craterless fare such as sandwiches, soups, and egg-centric dishes, and arid throats are quenched with an expansive selection of beverages, including freshly brewed coffee, espresso, and specialty drinks made from fair- trade and organic coffee. Grab a hot brew and settle in at a cozy table to listen to the café's rotating line-up of live music on Wednesday–Saturday nights or mull over the details of your next collection of irradiated-astronaut sonnets.
