The owner of TreyBCakes – rhymes with "baby cakes" – made good on a dream inspired by his grandfather when he opened the gourmet bakery and eatery Monday. Trey Luzzi, 34, just started his first business at 19th and L streets with plenty of help from his relatives.

The breakfast is available from 9:30 to 11 a.m., today only. Buon appetito. And while you're at it, you can pick up that plastic end table you've been coveting.
