Best 25 breakfast restaurants in Cleveland: Vote for your favorite

CLEVELAND, Oh – Best breakfasts? Don’t mind if we do!

We knew you would have hardcore opinions about wings, burgers, chili and donuts. Some of our most recent “Best of Cleveland” polls were bonkers in terms of sheer numbers of nominations and votes. When it came time to solicit nominations for the best breakfasts in a new Best of Cleveland readers’ poll, we knew we’d garner the same response.

You didn’t disappoint. We had over 500 individual nominations come in. We have since narrowed the field down to a top 25 list of nominated spots. Now it’s time to vote.

Head over to our poll at cleveland.com to vote for your favorite breakfast nook, counter or restaurant. We’ll keep track of all your votes for these go-to joints; you can vote once every hour for your favorite until polling closes at 5 p.m. on Monday, August 26. Who will make the Top 3?

Finally, we’ll hit the road to taste-test your selections and bring you the stories behind your Top 3 establishments.

Remember: All votes must originate from within the United States to be counted. Also, once you have voted, be certain to scroll back up and complete the captcha for your vote to go through.
