Any breakfast at home is almost always better than breakfast out, if you've got the time and ingredients. I can, with the right ingredients and tools and while half asleep, hungover, or still drunk, make a full breakfast for a family of four better than 90% of the breakfasts I've ever had out. Sure it took some practice, but breakfast isn't rocket science or usually particularly complex recipe wise.
The only thing I haven't been able to do better at home breakfast wise so far is making my own fresh bagels or donuts. I don't like making poached eggs either, and hollandaise sauce is a pain in the ass, but I can count on one hand the number of times I've gotten an eggs Benedict out at a restaurant that didn't make me immediately regret my choice. Same with biscuits and gravy (why do restaurants think that gravy comes out of a box and should be bright white?) , bacon (just bacon flavored bacon please), eggs (sunny side up does not mean I want the whites to be clear and runny too), etc. All things I really like, but can't tolerate having someone else fuck up and charge me for it.
It's those things where good is delicious and mediocre is terrible.
