Head to Bakery Nouveau for breakfast. It opens at 06:00 on weekdays, so you will be well within hours. Grab a coffee and a pastry to take with you or enjoy at a nearby table.
Local tip
Volunteer Park is a 34-minute walk from Central Cinema, but the climb is worth it for the view. Bakery Nouveau is a 15-minute walk from the anchor and opens early, making it perfect for a post-sunrise treat.
