Bracket Challenge: St. Louis Breakfast Spots

The polls are in!  The Winner of the St. Louis Magazine online Bracket Challenge for best breakfast spot in St. Louis is Jilly's Cupcake Bar and Cafe, beating out 31 other local eateries.  In a shocking final round upset over St. Louis favorite Uncle Bill's Pancake and Dinner House, Jilly's win has proven that the cupcake craze is still going strong.  Jilly's cupcakes aren't just any cupcakes, this past summer, Jilly's also won the top prize in an episode of Food Network's "Cupcake Wars."  Click the picture below to see a close up of the winners and runner-ups.

 Here are Jessie and my thoughts: 
  • Uncle Bills should have won overall, Jilly's cupcakes are good, but way too sugary for a satisfying breakfast. 
  • Where is the City Coffeehouse & Creperie on this list?!?!  That is our favorite!!!
  • What is up with Rooster?!  It should have in no way beaten Brasserie (their brunch is fabulous...salty, but fabulous!)  At least Local Harvest beat it in the next round.  We love Local Harvest!
  • Mud House should have at least won the first round, nobody can beat their breakfast burritos...see our previous review.
  • We are glad Half & Half lost first round... see our previous review.
  • I really want to try Vin De Set for breakfast now!
So what do you think...Does Jilly's deserve the crown?  Are you upset one of your go-to spots lost out?  Or is there an obvious restaurant place that you think St. Louis Magazine overlooked in their bracket challenge?
