CLEVELAND, Oh – The best breakfast? We can tell you that!

We knew you’d have tough opinions on chicken wings, burgers, chili and doughnuts. Some of our recent Best of Cleveland polls were absolutely insane in terms of the sheer number of nominations and votes. When it came time to solicit nominations for best breakfast in a new Best of Cleveland reader poll, we knew we’d get the same response.

They did not disappoint. We received over 500 individual nominations. Since then, we have narrowed the field down to a top 25 list of nominees. Now it is time to vote.

Visit our poll on cleveland.com to vote for your favorite breakfast spot, breakfast bar or restaurant. We’ll be keeping track of all your votes for these popular spots; you can vote for your favorite once per hour until the poll closes at 5 p.m. Monday, August 26, 5 p.m.. Who will make it into the top 3?

Finally, we’ll head out to taste your selections and tell you the stories behind your top 3 establishments.

Remember: All votes must be from the United States to be counted. Also, after you vote, be sure to scroll back up and fill out the captcha for your vote to be valid.
