The National (839 W. National Ave.) is a great place to linger over coffee and conversation at breakfast time. Everything is made from scratch and the happy clatter from the kitchen only enhances the homey feel. Housed in a rehabbed Cream City brick corner building, The National sports mismatched kitchen chairs and coffee mugs and a funky old couch along the wall.
Breakfast offerings are filling and tasty, from the all-American two eggs and bacon to the breakfast burrito or tofu scrambler. Many include a hearty slice of toasted Rocket Baby sourdough bread.
The National also serves sandwiches, salads and weekly specials, and is a safe haven where carnivores, vegetarians, vegans and the gluten free can mix and mingle. Open Tuesday-Sunday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
