Even locals love the cheery Buena Vista Café, which claims to be the first place in the U.S. to have served Irish coffee. The café opens at 9 AM weekdays (8 AM weekends), and dishes up a great breakfast. They serve about 2,000 Irish coffees a day, so it's always crowded; try for a table overlooking nostalgic Victorian Park and its cable-car turntable.
