Breakfast absolutely shines at Zeppola Café, whether you choose to buy a brioche sandwich or tiramisu from the impeccably appointed displays at the entrance or head upstairs for an intimate table and some people-watching in The Grand Canal Shoppes’ St. Marks Square.

If you’re really hungry, we recommend the latter. Start with the light and fluffy spinach and feta omelet, served with homemade potatoes, then move your way to the toothsome lobster roll bagel, full of succulent meat and topped with provolone. The avocado toast here, served on country bread and spread with guacamole and arugula, is practically a meal in and of itself, especially when you top it with prosciutto and burrata.

For a sweet treat, order the classic ricotta pancakes, topped with farmer’s market berries and accompanied with Vermont maple syrup, or the cannolis, available in a wide variety of flavors. (Our favorite is mascarpone.)

Good luck choosing from the baked goods section. Everything is wonderful, but croissants are especially gorgeous and delicious, from the Custard and Berries Croissant to the Pistachio Croissant. The Cube Croissant is truly a one-of-a-kind treat, filled with mascarpone cream and topped with cocoa powder, white chocolate and a ladyfinger.

And lest we forget, Zeppola Café also serves dinner. Make your breakfast and dinner plans now.
