They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but it’s especially important when you’re a busy college student on the go. After surveying most of the breakfast serving establishments around Temple University, I compiled a highly scientific list of the best places to get breakfast based on yumminess, affordability and variety
#1: Owl Breakfast and Lunch
This is my go-to place for breakfast every Sunday morning due to the deliciousness and affordability.
Yumminess: 10/10
I have never ever been disappointed here. The eggs are always cooked to the perfect dippiness and the home fries are the absolute best.
Affordability: 9/10
A whole breakfast platter for $5? I’m sold.
Variety: 8/10
The menu ranges from classic egg platters, to chicken and waffles
#2: Champ’s Diner
A fancier place to get breakfast.
Yumminess: 10/10
This was the creamiest Chipped Beef and Gravy I’ve ever had. Its homemade, too!
Affordability: 7/10
Really the only downfall of Champs Diner is that it’s a little pricier than other alternatives. Although, it is totally worth it. You can check out the menu here.
Variety: 9/10
Three words: Breakfast. Philly. Cheesesteak.
#3: Richie’s
Yumminess: 10/10
Richie’s literally never disappoints, no matter what you order.
Affordability: 10/10
Variety: 6.5/10
With a breakfast menu limited to sandwiches, Richie’s is perfect for when you’re on the go. As a die-hard dippy egg fan though, I had to give a 6.5 for variety.
Disclaimer: I originally rated Richie’s a 5/10 for variety, until I saw this breakfast burger. Definitely worth another point and a half.
#4: The Creperie
Yumminess: 10/10
The Creeperie is one of the best food trucks on campus, without a doubt.
Affordability: 9/10
The crepes are around 5 or 6 dollars and they’re packed with filling.
Variety: 5/10
Although you can choose from a number of phenomenal crepes ranging from sweet to savory, in the end they are still crepes.
Conclusion:
Breakfast is way too important to waste on a bagel that tastes like cleaning supplies and our funds are way too low to spend $5 on said bagel. You can see just how important it is to make time for breakfast here. Although I’m sure I missed a few hidden, breakfast serving gems, these four places are my all time favorites on campus.
Disclaimer: I’m aware I ranked all 4 places 10/10 on the yummy charts, but I just really love breakfast and these places kill it.
