Chamonix breakfasts?

I%26#39;m staying in (central) Chamonix for a week in early July, and wish to get reasonably early starts on day tramps/hikes. Are there a selection of places in town that open early for breakfasts? I%26#39;m going to be in a hotel, but would rather grab something - including a takeaway lunch - on the trot...so to speak.

How early is early? Most hotels do breakfasts from 7 or 7.30. I seem to remember the bakeries open pretty early too, about 8 am.

Noted, Firebug. Thanks. I hope to get out prior to rush hour, and thought I would/could catch something in town, already geared up. The primary goal is to get good pics before the haze cuts in.

Supermarket opens at 8ish so you could pick your own stuff up and eat on the hoof.





Loads of cafes for coffee and croisants





Also a few sandwich shops.

Not sure what time it opens, definitely by 8 am, but the salon de thé/boulangerie on the rue Dr Paccard (next to buthcher) does breakfast. Several of the boulageries are open by 8 and sell coffee to go with your croissants, and ready made sandwiches to take up the mountain with you. Also the Elevation (opp the SNCF station) do a great breakfast fry up, or coffee and croissant and are open early.

Thanks Guys, for your helpful responses. We%26#39;ve got early snow here, so hopefully the Chamonix Valley has had a reasonable dump.
