Breakfast has long been viewed as the most important meal of the day, and recent research has reaffirmed its benefits. Eating a nutritious breakfast sets the tone for the day, influencing your whole afternoon energy.

Orange County has a good variety of places where some of the best breakfasts can be served. Here are a few picks:

Rick’s Atomic Café – 3100 Airway Ave.Costa Mesa, CA 92626

This little cafe from Costa Mesa has some atomic breakfast options. One of our recommendation is the frittatas (but don’t forget to order it ahead of time). This Italian dish features two eggs, cheese baked to a golden brown and cream, topped with one of these toppings: mushrooms, spinach, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro, turkey, ham or bacon.
