Sometimes a scone and a killer latte are all you need to start the day on the right note, but sweets and caffeine aren't always enough to fuel you through the morning.
Wisely, the folks at Bomberos have figured this out, and are amping up their breakfast options beyond the yogurt, granola, and Tammie Coe pastries they've always served.
Now there are hot, savory items as well -- omelettes and breakfast wraps, each available with five different fillings (cheese, ham and cheese, veggie,

Tammie Coe employees say they have no idea which show it's for, but word's out that a crew from the Travel Channel just stopped by the Roosevelt Row pastry shop to shoot some footage and take pictures this afternoon.

It's not very often that cupcakes make me laugh, but I saw these little dudes in the case at Tammie Coe on Halloween morning, and couldn't resist getting one to go with my latte.
