Stroll along the streets or along the beach to find one of these delightful places to have breakfast in one of these Anna Maria Island restaurants!
Anna Maria Island Beach Café
This café is right on the beach, so you can wiggle your toes in the sand as you enjoy a great breakfast. Start your day off right with all-you-can-eat pancakes, Belgian waffles, French toast, or biscuits and gravy. If you like eggs, you can have omelets, eggs benedict, or two eggs cooked any way you like. Order alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks in a reusable souvenir cup and get discounts on refills. It’s a great atmosphere, perfect for kids, and the portions are generous.
The Waffle Press
The Waffle Press doesn’t have just plain waffles. They have Liege waffles. Liege waffles are yeast-raised with a caramelized outside. Have a decadent waffle smothered with cannoli cream, or have a waffle breakfast sandwich. You can also get bagels, pastries, smoothies, and locally roasted coffee at The Waffle Press. Take a waffle and some coffee to go, or sit for a while at one of the outdoor picnic tables. Don’t leave Anna Maria Island without sampling a Liege waffle from The Waffle Press.
Mademoiselle Paris French Restaurant
Have a taste of Paris for your Anna Maria Island breakfast. Mademoiselle Paris French Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bakery snacks. Their breakfast, or le petit dejeuner, is served with fresh bread from the bakery. You can smell it cooking as you eat! Try the savory breakfast crepes or the hearty croissant breakfast. You can appreciate the delectable breakfast items while eating in the pleasant dining room or in the backyard garden, shaded by palm trees. Run by a couple who are Parisian natives, Mademoiselle Paris French Restaurant is a great place to relax and enjoy your meal.
The Donut Experiment
Check out the gourmet donuts at the Donut Experiment. You won’t find boring, traditional donuts here. You get to make your own kind of treat. Start with a plain vanilla cake donut, and then go wild. Choose your own icing, coating, topping, or drizzle. Try caramel icing, powdered sugar coating, bacon topping, and a chocolate drizzle. Look for daily specials for the drizzles and icings for even more variety. Get up early to avoid the wait, or order online and come to pick up your fresh, warm donuts and drinks. Then enjoy your custom donuts while sitting at the picnic tables outside the shop, or walk down to the beach and have your breakfast with an ocean view!
Minnie’s Beach Café
Minnie’s is a charming, friendly café that serves breakfast and lunch. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. This is a cash-only business with helpful and attentive staff who know all about fun and the island atmosphere. Daily specials mean you’ll never be bored at Minnie’s Beach Café. Hopefully, you’ll be there on a day they are serving Southern Benedict — pulled pork, fried green tomatoes, poached eggs, and hollandaise on an English muffin. Going to Minnie’s is a perfect way to start your day — with plentiful delicious comfort food and friendly people who are happy to see you.
North Shore Café
If you are craving healthy avocado toast or acai bowls for your Anna Maria Island breakfast, make your way to the North Shore Café. You’ll find plenty of vegan options. Add some hot or cold coffee or tea, or perhaps a smoothie, and you’ll be powered for whatever the day ahead holds for you. You can take your breakfast to go, eat inside, or enjoy the backyard outdoor dining area. In addition to bowls, the North Shore Café serves various pastries and breakfast sandwiches, and they are open for lunch as well. After breakfast, explore the gift shop and sample the exotic flavors of gourmet popsicles.
