A long time ago, the food gods dictated that pancakes, scrambled eggs and cereal are reserved for noon or earlier and that orange juice should never be had with dinner. Well, sometimes cravings hit at inconvenient moments, and these rules need to be broken. Being able to eat breakfast all day is a beautiful thing, and many Berkeley businesses recognize that the most important meal of the day does not need to be bound by the confines of time. So we compiled a comprehensive list of all the places around campus to get your morning meal when it’s not the morning. Here are our top picks, with suggestions for what to order:
