I am rarely in the mood to cook for breakfast. Yes, homemade waffles are delicious, and cereal is fine, but on the weekend, I want something better that takes no effort on my part. While brunch at the Dream Cafe is delicious, it's an hour long process with waiters that are probably high and too many calories to get a good jump on the day. Enter Benny's Bagels. This neighborhood gem is in Lakewood and is a favorite of mine and the boyfriend. We usually get the veggie bagel with cream cheese. They have tons of different toppings and you can get hot breakfast sandwiches or cold lox and cream cheese. All of the bagels are made in their shop. I love it. It's an easy spot where you order at the counter and get some hot coffee. The guys working there always make some weird joke that I don't get, but that's part of the oddball charm. It's not the most convenient location (particularly if there happens to be a marathon or bike race in town) but it's worth it to drive around all that mess. Best friends venture to Benny's for hot bagels on hangover days. The best breakfast makes you feel better without any stress. 
I'm sharing my discoveries in Chapel Hill, NC as I work toward my MBA at UNC. Expect delicious restaurant reviews and fave shopping destinations.

A Less Dangerous Breakfast Than the Cornballer
