Mas Cafe

"This tiny roadside coffee shop specializes in exceptional Mexican breakfasts, in addition to a truly stellar bacon breakfast sandwich. They use fluffy Macrina buns as vehicles for a crackly-edged fried egg, chunky grilled onions, a swipe of aioli made slightly sweet by red chile sauce, white cheddar, and the crowning glory: a fistful of extremely well-done bacon. We’re talking an actual pile of bacon so crispy that, one time, a stray shard cut our face and we’re not even mad about it. No pain, no bacon, as they say. We're also fans of their breakfast burritos." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

"You come to Mas for the mess. This tiny Fremont spot with a gravel parking lot has two incredible breakfast options: loaded Tex-Mex style burritos with chorizo, potatoes, and all the fixings, and perfect breakfast sandwiches. The sausage sandwich is meaty, slightly sweet thanks to the aioli and huge caramelized onion slice, and has a crunchy green chile in it — the type of sandwich an Egg McMuffin wants to be when it grows up." - Harry Cheadle

And if bacon isn't your thing, go for the sausage version, loaded with two paper-thin patties and nutty provolone." - aimee rizzo

"We love Mas Café for their breakfast sandwiches, and the burritos are equally as good. So good, in fact, that they could make you forget all about any applicable breakups and/or hangovers. While the chorizo is charred and the bacon is thick, the heavy hand of fresh cilantro and pico de gallo adds a brightness that most breakfast burritos lack. It’s the kind of morning meal that can be washed down with a green juice before a productive day involving a few laps around Greenlake, summiting a mountain of laundry, and a trip to Homegoods." - kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, aimee rizzo

"We kind of lied when we said B-Side has it all. They don’t have bacon. For the greatest bacon breakfast sandwich in town, Mas Cafe in Wallingford is the place.
