One of the most homey places to eat breakfast in the city is the Trolley Stop Cafe on St. Charles Avenue. Not only is it inexpensive and casual, but the people who work there are always friendly and welcoming, and the food reminds me of breakfast in my mom's kitchen, with lots of hot coffee, bacon, waffl es, hash browns and grits.
