First Aid Kit: Great Breakfast in Columbia, MO To Cure Your Late-Night

We’ve all had one of those mornings. You know the one. You stayed up a little too late the night before, having fun with your friends and enjoying the best nightlife Columbia has to offer. Sure, a strong cup of coffee and a little fresh air can do you some good, but when you need a real fix to your “up late blues,” you need a serious breakfast. Savory, sweet, or something in between, find the right breakfast food to reset your weekend with help from Savor Columbia! From pancakes to eggs benny to a little hair of the dog, we know exactly what you need. 

50 Yard Line Sports Bar



Sometimes you have to pair your recovery breakfast with game day. Why not make the most of it at 50 Yard Line Sports Bar? This downtown breakfast essential is one part sports bar, one part godsend for anyone who needs to rally for a big day of rooting for your favorite team. Fuel your game day with a breakfast sandwich, grits and the fixings, a breakfast burrito, or our personal favorite, chicken and waffles. Add a mimosa or a cup of coffee–or both, we love both–and let the breakfast revival begin!

Acola Coffee Company

If you want to keep it light or you just know a delicious coffee will heal all, you need Acola Coffee Company. This dreamy, bright coffee shop is more than an in-and-out latte hub. Acola offers incredible coffee, delicious pastries, out-of-the-box toast dishes, and the best vibes. There’s no hustle and bustle at Acola–only peaceful rooms, of which there are many, and gorgeous rooftop sipping and dining. Oh, and if you’re like us and your phone always eats first, Acola is the perfect spot to snap your next great ‘gram. 

B&B Bagel Company

If you need a morning pick-me-up, your friends do too! Spoil the group with B&B Bagel Company. Grab a baker’s dozen, a few cups of cream cheese, and make everyone happy with delicious, carb-filled, New York-style boiled and baked bagels. If you need a little more than just cream cheese, try B&B’s egg’wiches: your favorite bagel-turned sandwich filled with your favorite breakfast items like eggs, bacon, ham, and veggies. While you’re there, don’t forget the coffee. Your group will thank you, and so will your stomach.

Bud's Classic BBQ



Another game day fave here at Savor Columbia? Bud’s Classic BBQ. Bud’s is bringing Texas-style barbeque to Columbia, MO, and on select game days, you can enjoy a delicious BBQ brunch. This one is for all our savory breakfast lovers out there. Just imagine rolling up to Bud’s Classic BBQ on a crisp fall Saturday, getting your favorite breakfast combined with mind-blowing barbecue, and then heading to the game or a tailgate party. That is the recipe for a perfect fall morning in Columbia. Satisfy your game-day appetite with Bud’s brunch!

Dive Bar

Keep the fun vibes going from the night before at Dive Bar. Their Saturday and Sunday brunch is undeniably delicious and there is something for everyone on the menu. Between their chicken and biscuit (savory) and the freshly baked cinnamon rolls (so sweet), you’ll leave happy, full, and ready for the remainder of your weekend. Don’t forget to go back later in the day for live music. Dive Bar also hosts tons of exciting events throughout the week, so when you’re ready for another evening out, Dive Bar is the place to be.

Nourish Café & Market



Nourish Café & Market is the only thing you’ll want if you’re feeling tired or lazy after a late night. The menu at Nourish has all the flavor and none of the gluten, soy, corn, refined sugar, preservatives, or inflammatory oils that could make you feel worse. Grab a cold-pressed juice or smoothie to fill your body with delicious and beneficial ingredients to make you feel better, or  order any of their bowls to really fill you up with goodness! When you need breakfast to put a pep in your step fast, stop by Nourish!

Ozark Mountain Biscuit & Bar



Sometimes, the only thing that can make you feel better is true Southern comfort food. Soak up your wild night before with biscuits and gravy made from scratch. But don’t stop at biscuits. They also have waffles, scrambles, chicken fried steak, and pancakes to make sure everyone in your group has something to love. And, if you order a brunch cocktail, we won’t judge. In fact, you’ll probably see us at the bar, toasting to your excellent taste in breakfast food.
