Hashbrowns

Description
If it weren't for the fact that it's located in a brand-spankin'-new strip mall, you'd think this sunny café had been the neighborhood hub for years. The smooth service and easy-going atmosphere are thanks to the Italian family who runs the joint. The Ruffolos (who are related to the owners of Bridgeport's Franco's Ristorante) have extended the most important meal of the day to cater to late-risers, serving their hangover-helpers until 3pm. Whether it's dressed-up omelettes or straight-up bacon and eggs, all breakfasts come with the namesake hash browns. But our vote goes to the "killer" hash browns, a massive attack of potatoes topped with cheese, onions, sour cream and cornflakes that's baked to bubbly perfection.
