{openx:1}If your resort or hotel doesn’t offer a good selection for breakfast while you are visiting the Phoenix, Arizona area, you are in luck, because there are two restaurant chains in the area that will save your day. The Good Egg and Mimi’s Cafe offer dynamite breakfasts at moderate prices.

Mimi’s Cafe is my favorite breakfast spot. Among other things, the fresh squeezed orange juice and fresh baked muffins (in gigantic sizes) is enough to get me going back again and again. However, the quiche, omelets, egg benedict and more are always terrific. I also find the atmosphere at Mimi’s pleasing and the service at any of the locations is amazing. Mimi’s also offers seasonal fresh fruits, a light menu and plenty of healthy options. It also happens to be a great spot for lunch and dinner, if you didn’t get enough of the place at breakfast!

The Good Egg is an upscale version of Denny’s and offers hearty breakfasts with substantial portions. I had two scrambled eggs, peppered bacon, breakfast potatoes and toast. The whole meal was well cooked, served hot and quickly, and the toast was terrific. From waffles and pancakes to eggs and bacon, you really can’t go wrong here. There are even plenty of choices for those wishing to eat healthy and light.
