Lucky’s Coffee Shop: Sticky Buns That Shouldn’t Be Missed

January 12, 2016 by evergreen

When it comes to breakfast, the chefs at Lucky's Coffee Shop don't believe in doing things halfway. They join the countless American chefs before them who championed sweets for breakfast at classic mid-20th-century diners across the country. Stacks of sweet French toast, syrupy waffles, and fluffy pancakes adorn the tables at Lucky's Coffee Shop in Wilmington.

Many customers opt for the French toast, perhaps because its fresh bread comes directly from nearby Le Bus Bakery. The French toast includes strips of crispy bacon and home fries (or fresh fruit, if you prefer), as does all of the "standard breakfast stuff." If you choose pancakes, add candied pecans and bananas, blueberries, or chocolate chips to make the stack truly decadent. You can also opt for am omelet or egg sandwich and breakfast, but no matter what you order, don't forget to add one of Lucky's popular stick buns. If you come for lunch or dinner, try a burger, sandwich, or diner entree like country fried steak.
