Fodor's Expert Review Watson's Counter

Watson's Counter keeps things quirky: the Fruity Pebs French Toast tends to go viral on Instagram, but the Korean-style fried chicken (alone, on waffles, or in a sandwich) and assorted eclectic breakfast foods keep this spot from one-hit-wonder status. Friendly service, excellent coffee, and a spare, modern look make it an easy place to love. Just don't fall too hard: the crowds mean they sometimes enforce time limits on tables that linger too long.
