Breakfast: the most important meal of the day. Also the most overlooked. When you’re running late and in a mad rush out the door, you’re lucky if you hastily scarf down a yogurt cup. But here are nine reasons to wake up a little earlier, take your time and linger over new breakfast menus that help greet the day with a sharper mind and fuller stomach.

Coppersmith. This multifaceted South Boston outfit, housed inside a massive former copper foundry, contains several distinct spaces: from a main dining room to fixed food trucks to an Airstream-equipped roof deck. There’s also the Coppersmith Cafe, which opens at 7 AM on weekdays and 8 AM on weekends. It doles out George Horwell Coffee drinks, baked treats (banana, chocolate chip and espresso muffin, anyone?) and larger breakfast noshes like chia pudding parfait and a breakfast sandwich of egg with Vermont cheddar on a muffin from Medford-based Stone & Skillet, among the local food artisans we love.
