Who says dessert needs wait until after dinner? Not us! Whether digging into a fluffy pancake or savoring a cinnamon roll, here are some of the sweetest ways to start off the day, thanks to these restaurants’ rich and decadent morning treats. Please note: Before deciding where to dine, visit each restaurant’s site or call to inquire about potential modificaitons to opening hours, offerings, and dine-in/takeout options amid COVID-19 modifications.

A perfect combo of sweet and savory, this dish – available daily from open to close – is so popular that it has been featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network. It starts by taking sausage links and dipping them into homemade vanilla batter. Once coated several times, they are fried to a golden brown on a stick, making the end result appear much like a corn dog, yet with the sweetness of a pancake. They come three to an order with a side of maple syrup and are topped with powdered sugar and strawberries. $10. www.eatatovereasy.com.
