Dunkin Donuts
517 E Kirkwood Ave.
Open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily
A newer addition to Bloomington’s donut scene is Dunkin Donuts. Because it’s so close to campus, donut consuming doesn’t need to be a once-in-a-while treat. Working out, however, will be a must.

Square Donuts
531 N. Walnut Street (campus location)
Open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday; closed Mondays
Circular donuts are so high school. If you get a pastry craving in Bloomington, head over to Square Donuts and bite into a delicious glazed donut.

Runcible Spoon Cafe & Restaurant
412 E. Sixth Street
Open from 8 a.m. to midnight daily
You won’t just crave the food, you’ll crave the atmosphere. What looks like an old home is in fact one of Bloomington’s best eateries – and masters of all things breakfast. Tip: try the Morning Special: two eggs cooked, toast and a choice of home fries, bacon, sausage or ham. At $4.50, it’s a steal, but it’s only available from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on weekdays.
