33 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Carmel

“The food is always excellent! This is the only place that makes my soft scrambled eggs to perfection every single time! The breakfast potatoes are the best as well! Service is over the top exceptional here. The staff are always on top of it.“

“These farm to table type breakfast places have always bothered me a bit. They're great if you want something lighter for breakfast—but let's be real here, sometimes you just want something smothered in sausage gravy. These places never seem to offer a good version of both things, so you end up needing to decide what you want to eat before you choose where to go. When I first tried First Watch, their menu was limited and I felt like my choices were either quinoa bowl, or an egg served with an arugula salad. Not exactly my style of breakfast. But I have kept coming back because each time it seems like the menu gets expanded and seasonal items are added, and I really appreciate that. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a veggie omelet, sometimes I want bacon and cheese. I'm glad there seem to be more options that play both sides of that now. The quality of the food has always been excellent, so with more options comes more interest from me. I'll keep coming back for now to continue to check out their new offerings, but still no breakfast arugula for me.“

“Owner is super cool and truly cares. She knows her customers by name. One day I went in on her day off and never got served after being seated. Not to mention that the waitress never came and checked on me and was half way apologetic for the inconvenience. I tried them again and informed Patty, and of course she made it right. I’ll always return because she has good customer service and relationships appear to be important to her.“

“The Snickerdoodle coffee was great, broken egg sandwich was perfect! I stopped in on Black Friday and was pleasantly surprised that they were open, a young lady behind the counter even made me a handmade Christmas card! what more could you ask for?“

Highly recommend this gem in downtown Noblesville :)“

“Exceptional service and every time I enter there is a welcoming atmosphere. This is my 4th year eating at this beautiful homestyle diner and nothing has changed. Debbie is my fav waitress of all time because she is focused, attentive and caring. Her spirit is so pure. The owners (Tammy & Ron) are a blessing to this community. So are the staff! Wish I could rate higher but look no further for great small homestyle dining experience with family
included.“

“No wait for seating. A vast menu filled with diner favorites. Overall good quality tasty diner food. We ordered the Mexican Omelette, grits, corn beef hash, and strawberry crepe.. The overall service is quick and the waitresses are friendly. Someone is always walking around refreshing coffee and refilling water glasses.“

“Been here once before, loved our experience, so we came back. My wife had the Cuban Frittata and loved it. I had pancakes and they were great they were not like what you get anywhere else they were fluffy and the last time I had fluffy pancakes was when my mom made them“

“I came into the restaurant late at night to finish a homework assignment. Bianca took great care of me--allowed me to sit where I could plug my laptop, and kept my coffee cup full without bothering me too much! She was kind with a positive attitude even though she was juggling a number of tables. I will absolutely make this a regular study space--thanks Bianca!!“

“Todo deliciosos �� buen lugar para desayunar“

“Great food at what seems like pre-inflation Bidenomics pricing. Very nice to be able to feed my family of four at a nice sit down breakfast for around $50-$60, fast and thoughtful servers. Highly recommend!!“

“I started going to Original Pancake house in 1970's in Illinois. Then in Arizona, California, and been to this one in Fishers a few times with family that lives here. Everything was great except your padded seats aren't padded anymore. They are all springs and very, very uncomfortable. I know everything is expensive now, but I am serious when I say my husband moved a bit and you could hear the spring make that cartoon "Boing:" noise. It was loud. Everything else is good and great as usual. I do love Original...always have, always will.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆
The food here was amazing! I ordered the Apple Pancake, which was cooked perfectly with a rich cinnamon flavor and soft texture. I would’ve preferred a little more crisp on the edges for contrast, but it was still delicious and full of flavor.

The fresh bacon completely made up for it—some of the best I’ve had in a long time. It was thick, crispy, and cooked just right. The breakfast burrito was great too, and the potatoes on the side were seasoned and cooked perfectly.

The staff were friendly, the restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Overall, this is a great spot for a quality breakfast in the Indy- Noblesville area. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“Sandwich was really good and I appreciate the substitution being easy. I am however curious why I was charged more for the sandwich(not the extras that makes sense) than what was presented on the menu? Maybe with the changes things are exactly accurate but It would be nice to know exactly what I’m paying before ordering.“

“Everyone who worked here was extremely friendly and hardworking. We had a very large group and they were super accommodating and quick to serve us.
Our server especially was great as she would get whatever we asked for right away.
