Buckle up, people.
There's also a lineup of french toast options from fruity (blueberry almond and bananas foster) to a colorful plate of Cap'n Crunch battered and rolled in Crunch Berries cereal topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, bananas and vanilla glaze.
You can also snag Belgian waffles, omelets, skillets, breakfast burritos, eggs benedict and handhelds. There are healthy-focused, vegetarian and gluten-free options on the menu as well.
Not into breakfast eats? There's also salad, sandos, wraps and loaded burgers on the menu. From the B.B.Q. Burger with melted cheddar, applewood bacon, onion straws, barbecue sauce, lettuce and tomato to a Beyond Burger on a toasted brioche bun, there's something for everyone.
