12 Best Breakfast Restaurants in Gainesville

“East End Eatery is my favorite breakfast place in Gainesville! The best breakfast burrito in town! Always fresh veggies, gouda cheese grits that always satisfy, even a Florida native like me. Treat yourself to the best waffle in town. Crisp outside with light fluffy center. Not heavy at all. Real shrimp and grits worth the wait for cooked to order meal. The service is always friendly with a smile. The owner works all areas. She loves to meet customers. Hope you enjoy the experience as much as I do.“

“Anytime I meet my son for brunch in Gainesville this is where I want to eat! Love the Flying Biscuit! Food is so yummy!!“

“First time! Breakfast was awesome! Had the bacon and cheese omelet with potatoes and whole grain toast with strawberry jelly. Yum, yum and yum! Ingredients were fresh, cooked just right, and proportions were huge. Would recommend as I will definitely be returning soon. Plenty of room to sit. Lots of people today, but did not feel crowded. Our waitress was very kind, extremely attentive, and provided overall excellent service.“

“Ordered the eggs Benedict and it was amazing. The service was great as well. The only downside was the wait time. Initially quoted 30 minutes, but once that passed, they kept adding another 10 minutes until it had been an hour and we were still waiting to be seated. Overall, it’s a great spot and would recommend but be ready to wait!“

“Sunday morning breakfast. Steady flow of in and out customers. Service was friendly from the moment we walked in. Isaac was our sever and took awesome care of us. The food was hot and tasty. Appreciated the Manager, Garrett, stopping by towards the end of our meal to check on our experience. 10/10 would recommend. See you next time, Keke’s!“
