If there’s one thing almost everyone can agree on, it’s that breakfast is pretty important, and pretty great.
One thing that almost nobody agrees on, however, is what hours actually constitute breakfast time.
Whether you’re an early riser who likes to get a full meal in before the sun comes up or a young soul who isn’t ready for breakfast until about noon, one way or another, you’re going to eat breakfast most days, and some days you might even go out for it.
So where to go?
Well, we tracked down information from virtually every place in Concord that serves breakfast in some way, shape or form. We wanted to find out what the breakfast hours were on which days to assemble a master list of breakfast-eating times in the capital city.
Below is the fruits of our labor. We may have missed one or two restaurants (mainly chains), and a couple places could not be reached in time for this story, but this list should give you quite a bit of information about who’s serving breakfast until what time around here.
