Best Breakfast – Heights: CasaEma
CasaEma is a breakfast dream with serious cred — James Beard finalist, Michelin Bib Gourmand, and home to some of the best pastries in town. The horchata-filled brioche donut? Iconic. You’ll also find conchas, cajeta twists, and killer coffee, all in a buzzy Mexican cafe at the Studewood and North Main intersection. The cafe menu is just as dreamy, with hits like hoja santa French toast, brisket chilaquiles, confit carrot tacos, and mushroom tetelas.
