Epicure

Ah, breakfast. It’s the most important meal of the day— and the most neglected. With Miss Shirley’s Cafe & Bakery to the rescue, you’ll never want to skip that first meal again. Dishing up down-home treats like sweet corn cake Benedict, coconut cream-stuffed French toast, German apple pancakes and Maryland crab omelets, Miss Shirley’s fills a void for good food in pleasant surroundings. And save room for sides like fried green tomatoes, savory grits, fluffy buttermilk pancakes and hot Starbucks coffee. Not tempted yet? Then come back at lunchtime for a staggering selection of soups, salads and sandwiches— all with table service and free parking out front. (410 W. Cold Spring Lane, 410-889-5272)
