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.“

“Our waitress Michelle was amazing. I was there with my 88yo father and she was patient waiting on him. She even went above and beyond assisting as we were getting up to leave and helping steady his walker while I helped get him up and standing.

Thank you Micelle !“

“First time today and it was solid. My daughter had the lemon ricotta pancakes, and I had the roast beef sandwich. Both were delicious. The side salad that came with. It was a little liking, just mixed greens with a bit of dressing, but the sandwich made up for it. it was delicious. I would definitely add this to a list of breakfast places to hit“

“Visiting Gainesville from out of town. Family recommended KeKe's. It did not disappoint. Host was very warm and friendly and server , Ariel, was exceptional.
I had the combo. 2 eggs, (excellent as I am a scrambled egg snob) crispy bacon, and waffle. I also appreciate that the calories are listed on the menu!“

“Super nice Waffle House albeit on the smaller side if you're used to large waffle houses on road stops while traveling. My mom and I were hankering for pancakes, and they did not disappoint! Just a bit crowded. Seemed like they had their regulars sitting on the counter bar stools. Totally worth the very friendly service and tasty breakfast food.“
