Where To Go To For A Powerhouse Breakfast Meeting
Monday morning work meetings are never fun. If you’re like us, you’ll spend 60% of your time yawning, 30% concentrating on your grumbling stomach and 10%, if you’re lucky, actually writing notes. That’s why we’re huge advocates at the breakfast meeting. We’re talking full English brekkies, eggs royale, pastries and avo on toast. Here are nine spots perfect for fulfilling your breakfast-meeting dreams.
