POLL: What's the Best Place for Breakfast in Troy?

Are you a breakfast eater who sits down to a plate of bacon and eggs or a bowl of oatmeal or someone who whips through drive-thru for your favorite breakfast sandwich and coffee?

We're on a quest to rate the best of the best in Troy. So far, we've asked you about gyms, coffee or tea shops, nail salons, barber shops and best place to buy flowers and candy on Valentine's Day. Today the topic is breakfast.

Visit Troy Places to find great places for breakfast – sit-down restaurants, carryout spots, bagel and donut shops – whatever helps you power up for the day. Then vote for your favorite breakfast spot by 9 a.m. Friday and we'll post a story at noon declaring the winner. 

This is not a comprehensive list (there are roughly 300 restaurants in Troy), so we have eliminated large chain restaurants and pared our list down to a manageable size. If we've missed your favorite place, let us know in the comments section.
