9 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Portland

“One of the best brunch spots in Portland Maine. And they do dinner!
From the gorgeous velvet booth seating, to the crispy potatoes and churros, the service, food and ambiance is outstanding. Our lovely server Coco and the FOH manager Leah create such a warm and welcoming experience.
Highlights are the horchata (get it half & half with cold brew for caffeine.) The churros are outstanding, potatoes are a must and you can’t go wrong with any of the main dishes.
Enjoy and don’t forget…tip your servers and bartenders 😘“

“Last year I stopped by this Cafe on the way back home, I tried a pistachio raised donut and it stole my heart. the vibes at this restaurant are so sweet and nothing but Mainer. Slow and sweet, colorful and flavorful. Everytime I'm in the area I'll be sure to re-visit! 10⭐️“

“Came in with a group of 3 SUPER hungry - technically the kitchen was about to close, but the owner was kind enough to let us in. The service was VERY attentive and friendly! Our coffee cups never ran dry. Stacks has a very large and diverse menu with plenty of allergy-friendly options. Our orders came out very quickly; everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. I will definitely be returning!“

“If I see Florentine Benedict on the menu, I'm ordering it immediately. This was excellent, perfectly poached egg, really flavorful and bright hollandaise, fresh spinach and tomato. Yum! Comes with home fries. Added a mimosa because that's what you do on a Sunday!

Our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive.

I'd love to come back and sit outside in the patio area on a sunny day.“

“I would just like to tell a very short story about how my friend Rex who is 65 years old he is a homeless man out of the Portland area. I took him in to Denny's in Portland to get breakfast on a cold Winter's day in January 2022. We ordered our food with our server who was very rude and after eating our cold yucky breakfast my friend Rex was refused a bathroom to use and then the manager came out and told us for NO REASON, to leave and never come back! It was the worst experience because all my friend Rex needed was a hot breakfast he doesn't bother anyone and never sticks up for himself or creates a fuss! So in looking for another breakfast place to eat we found IHOP in Portland and from the start of walking into that restaurant was so nice and clean the hostess was amazing and sat us immediately with a smile our server Bethany she was amazing so nice and kind she took our order and treated us like human beings she was not judgmental and she took our order the same way she takes everyone's orders with a smile and gracious heart! My friend Rex absolutely loves his fried eggs and his bacon so we now visit the Portland IHOP twice a week. I had told the servers about what had happened to us with our experience at Denny's and the server from IHOP told Rex and myself that we were allowed at IHOP anytime and that they would love to have us!! I can't even tell you how much this warms my heart knowing that I can take my friend who has fallen on some hard times into a restaurant to eat a very nice warm meal and have the best servers in the best wait staff around us! You are amazing IHOP and we love you so much! We will be there every Tuesday and Friday for bacon and eggs comforted by the graciousness and smiles of everyone in the restaurant at IHOP! Keep on being the most amazing restaurant in the world because from my point of view you absolutely are! We love you IHOP thank you so much for your hospitality!“
