Temptations / Tasty temptations / Sweet and savory temptations
Explanation:
These would seem to be more natural choices for the header of a section of a restaurant header. A "treat" would suggest, in my view, a dessert or sweet of some kind, and it is not just sweets that are on offer in this section.

Suerte.

agree  Deborah Lockett: yes, I think the portions must be small for people to be able to eat them after breakfast!

neutral  Robert Forstag: I've never seen this term used in English; I must be eating at the wrong places. (BTW, the idea seems to be for patrons to order the listed items as part of their breakfast, and not afterward).
