Let’s meet for breakfast

We all know what makes for a good breakfast place (see our post, Breakfast in Bucks). But how about when you need to discuss business? What makes a good business breakfast place?

I had some ideas of my own. Both my husband and I are self-employed and business breakfasts are a common thing (and a great excuse to get out of the house). I know some of our favorites, but I wanted to dig out any others I didn’t know of.

First I asked folks following the Bucks County Taste Facebook page the criteria for a good breakfast place and here is what they said:

Good food

Give you space and privacy

Coffee is good and plentiful

Quiet enough so you can hear easily

Attentive staff

Don’t rush you out

Although I’m sure I’ve probably missed one of your favorites (email me), here are some of the top business breakfast places according to our readers:
