Shake Shack for breakfast? Burger chain adds morning menu.

Shake Shack is diving deeper into the breakfast game, adding a new breakfast menu and coffee to its location in Washington, D.C. Shake Shack breakfast menus are already available in airports and train stations in New York City and Dubai.

Passersby walk in front of the Shake Shack restaurant in the Manhattan borough of New York. The burger chain is gradually rolling out a breakfast menu in select locations.

Shake Shack is edging deeper into the QSR breakfast competition. Beginning May 11, the Shake Shack unit in Washington, D.C.’s Union Station will add a breakfast menu, something currently found only at the chain’s locations in JFK and Dubai International airports and New York’s Grand Central Terminal. In D.C., breakfast will be served between 7 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.

The menu mirrors those found at many other QSRs, including three varieties of breakfast sandwiches: a Sausage Egg N’ Cheese ($4.75), Bacon Egg N’ Cheese ($4.75) and Egg N’ Cheese ($3.75). All use Niman Ranch’s cage-free eggs and are served on toasted potato buns. The sausage and bacon are all-natural products.

And as every QSR has learned, a breakfast menu is only as good as the coffee served. Shake Shack will be serving and exclusive organic blend from Stumptown Coffee Roasters priced at $2.25 for a 12 oz. cup; $2.75 for 16 oz. Additionally a Stumptown cold brew-steeped and cold-pressed iced coffee, bottled in Brooklyn, will be offered ($4.75 for 10.5 oz). Fair trade hot breakfast tea is $2 for 12 oz.

Juices? Yes, Shake Shack’s morning menu has that covered as well: freshly squeezed organic orange juice ($4 for 12 oz.) and organic apple juice ($1.85 for 6.75 oz.).

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
