Few things are better than starting the day off right with a hearty, homemade breakfast. And there are plenty available at Stacks' Breakfast And Lunch, where chefs effortlessly combine classic American diner fare and health-conscious California cuisine. Stacks of wheat-germ pancakes packed with blueberries or bananas share table space with thick slices of texas french toast and fruit compote or gluten-free belgian waffles topped with whipped cream. skillets smothered in cheddar and monterey jack cheeses.

But the chefs’ work truly shines in Stacks' egg breakfasts, which range from sweet and savory crepes and Mexican frittatas to perfectly prepared scrambles that deliver morsels of fresh veggies, seafood, and sausage in light, fluffy packages. Diners enjoy leisurely breakfasts in one of the cozy booths. Later in they day, they can lunch alfresco on the patio with gourmet burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, and fresh-fruit smoothies.
