Hungry for breakfast in Fremont, Newark, or Union City yet?
I am! So I've rounded up my family's choices for the top seven breakfast spots in the Tri-City area, along with the reasons that my family loves them. I've listed them in alphabetical order:

Hours: Breakfast is available all day! Open Sunday through Wednesday from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm and Thursday through Saturday from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.
What we love: Baldie's Cafe is family-owned and operated with yummy, homestyle cooking not only for breakfast but also lunch and dinner and has been a top place for breakfast in Union City since 1989. We love the friendly service, large, tasty portions, and that there is truly something for everyone. The traditional diner atmosphere is great. My kids love the thick French toast with eggs and sausage while I always go for a Belgian waffle with strawberries and don't forget the yummy hashbrowns!

What we love: Bill's Cafe offers breakfast, lunch, and cocktails with a full bar. My kids love the chocolate chip pancakes while I go for a non-traditional breakfast and enjoy either the B.L.T. or the cobb salad which always makes my kids laugh. You will enjoy the diverse menu options.
Black Bear Diner
5035 Mowry Avenue, Fremont; (510) 796-8000
Hours: Breakfast is available all day! Open daily from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm.
What we love: Black Bear Diner is the place to go when you are hungry! Large portion sizes and great variety, plus they have a lot of seating so you might not have to wait as long if you visit during a busy time of day, plus they have grits! My husband enjoys the Bear's Choice breakfast which includes eggs, your choice of pancakes, a sweet cream waffle, french toast, or biscuits and gravy, plus bacon and sausage or ham and my daughter loves the cinnamon roll French toast which is served with fresh fruit.
