33 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Colonia

“I had the pleasure of dining at Estime Cafe today, it was an outstanding experience! From the moment we walked in, the customer service was phenomenal, warm, attentive, and truly welcoming. This is the first Haitian restaurant I’ve visited that delivered such impeccable service, and it made all the difference. The atmosphere was inviting, and the food was authentic, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish was prepared with care, bringing out the rich, bold flavors of Haitian cuisine. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Haitian food or trying it for the first time, this place is a must-visit. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic meal and a top-tier dining experience. My husband and I will definitely be returning!“

“Had breakfast here early on a Saturday with a friend. Food was good for sure. However, EVERY person working at this restaurant attended to us. We had a hard time finishing one sentence of our conversation without being asked how things were or if we wanted more coffee. I'm serious, no fewer than 6 people visited our table. Our waitress, Marissa, was personable and helpful; she was taking care of us very well. The 1-star for atmosphere was because the OWNER came to our table and asked if we wanted more coffee. I declined, but my friend accepted. I swear she did this just to make him go away as Marissa had offered us coffee moments before and she'd declined. THEN WE OVERHEAR the manager giving Marissa a hard time because we ACCEPTED COFFEE. His assumption was that she had not been attending to us instead of understanding that women know that the male ego has a hard time with the word NO. Not only should management not be giving a good waitress a hard time, they certainly should not do it where customers can hear. Gross!“

“Brewed Awakening is the perfect spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food is consistently delicious, and some of my favorites include the BLT Sandwich (always made to perfection), the omelettes, and their Apple Caramel Butter Latte—a delightful seasonal treat. I first discovered the latte through a social media post a few weeks ago, and now Brewed Awakening has become my go-to spot every Sunday for a relaxing meal. The service is always warm and welcoming. Annie, the owner, often makes an appearance on the floor, either serving or checking in with guests to ensure they’re enjoying their visit. Her kindness and genuine hospitality make the experience even more special. I highly recommend stopping by Brewed Awakening for a delicious meal and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed!“

“great“

“I very much enjoyed my experience at blossoms brunch bar. The music was a vibe and the food was amazing and very tasty. Freddy the servicer was very attentive and very kind. I much recommend you give it a try. The seating is timed by 90 minutes, so make sure that your full party arrives before you’re seated.“

“She was a friendly, attentive and caring. Would recommend her as a waitress and this IHOP location anytime“

“A friend recommended. I went by myself and was immediately given the seat at the bar. My server was great, she was quick, friendly. The food was good. I had the beer juice and rise and shine, plus French press coffee. Everything was delicious. The pancakes were extremely soft.. Will
Definitely go again.“

“Awesome eatery and a great time to visit on a Monday afternoon. They're normally extremely packed and I can see why. Nice, big and spacious space. Their staff are extremely well mannered.

As for their food, it speaks to why they are usually busy. It is so delicious and portioned to the value you pay. Can't wait to try again.“

“First time in NJ and I ordered delivery from this place to my hotel. The coffee was delicious, just like homemade, and they followed my instructions exactly on how I wanted it. The omelets were really good, and everything had a comforting, homemade taste. Highly recommended! Thank you, Kelly’s Breakfast.“

“Beautiful...Westfield Station Cafe is truly a Westfield is wonderful! The food was absolutely amazing my wife, and I enjoyed it very much. Everything was delicious, and you can really feel the love that goes into the food. Highly recommend!“

“El desayuno salvadoreño estuvo delicioso y fresco. La atención fue muy buena. Recomiendo este lugar!!! The food is so delicious and the service was amazing 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼“

“The food and everything is very good. . been going there for alot of years. Very good service i can said.. My number“

“I eat breakfast here about 3-4x a week and the food is good. My only issue is that on Aug 12 2025 I ordered my usually breakfast sandwiches and instead of telling me they ran out of eggs they sold me the sandwiches at full price and yea beef bacon cheese on a roll with jelly does not hit the same without eggs. I didn't hold it against them and I came in today Aug 13 and me not even asking for anything free or any favors started to inform the woman at the counter what happened and she just cut me off mid sentence and asked for my order she clearly did not care. I left it alone and this was my favorite breakfast spot but today will be the last time I give them my business. The food is great tho.“

“I haven't eaten here in years but the Italian chicken sandwich I had about 17 years ago is worth a late review... It was the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It was made with the juiciest chopped up center breast meat, I thought this spot closed years ago... I wonder if they still make that sandwich the same way they did back in the day?!!!!“

“Been here many times and the food and service are consistently top notch. Courteous service from our friendly and appropriately attentive server, and our food came quickly and was fresh and delicious as always. Nice to know First Watch is always there for an early Sunday breakfast.“

“Perfection is an understatement. Kudos!“

“The most (and best) NY deli style food I’ve had in NJ by far!“

“⭐️ Hidden Gem Alert: Bagel 1 in Old Bridge, NJ ⭐️

It’s amazing how some of the smallest, most unassuming spots turn out to have the most delicious food and Bagel 1 is absolutely one of them.

From the outside, the place might not grab your attention, it may even seem like somewhere you wouldn't go, but don’t judge a book by it's cover! The food coming out of this kitchen is delicious, fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you’re hunting for a legit bagel or breakfast sandwich, go here.

What really stood out during my visit was the service. Wael, the gentleman working the front counter, was exceptionally polite, attentive, and patient. His attention to detail and willingness to listen closely to my order, especially as someone who likes to customize their breakfast sandwiches, this was refreshing. In many bagel spots, staff can seem rushed or distracted, but Wael made the experience easy.

Whether you're a classic bacon-egg-and-cheese kind of person or someone who likes to get a little creative with your sandwich, Bagel 1 delivers quality without the chaos. The spot is low-key, but the flavor is next level.

Highly recommend swinging by if you’re in the area and want a breakfast that hits the spot. Old Bridge is lucky to have this place!“

“Es una excelente comida ecuatoriana recomiendo que vayan al lugar doy la calificación de 10 muy buena👍“

“Went with the wife after picking up our painted clay from Color Me Mine nearby. We were impressed by the colorful chalk menu up on the wall, with a limited yet delightful selection of salads and sandwiches.

We ordered the BLAT and the Mona Lisa sandwiches, along with the Vermont salad.

The staff are very friendly and take your order almost immediately, even with a line. The drinks we ordered were prepared right on the spot and ready in no time.

The sandwiches themselves were ready in about 10-15 minutes, fresh and hot

All the ingredients were incredibly fresh and high quality, and at a reasonable price as well. Averaging at $12 per sandwich, we were left full and satisfied.

The same can be said for the salad, which was quite delectable.

Arnold Palmer 10/10
Latte was iffy according to the barista wife, but nobody is perfect

We will 100% be going again, one of the best sandwiches we’ve had in Jersey by far!“

“This was my first time eating at this Texas Weiner joint and was the second of four Texas Weiner spots we visited on the day. They are a family owned and operated restaurant for over 50 years. The interior is a bit animated with its menu signs and had the second largest seating capacity of the four places. While not very large there was more than enough seating available. \n\nThis Texas Weiner-only tour included four luncheonettes located in Dunellen, Middlesex and Plainfield. Our order included a classic Texas Weiner up that were graded according to Texos Weineros’ 8 Commandments:\n-\tThou shalt not serve a hot dog with no snap or shorter than thy bun\n-\tThou shalt only serve quality hot dogs made from beef and/or pork\n-\tThy hot dog must not taste like the salt of the earth\n-\tThou shalt serve hot dogs on fresh, traditional hot dog rolls\n-\tThy hot dog roll shall never the star of the meal\n-\tThou shalt not serve watery sauce or sauce without depth of flavor\n-\tThou shalt mince thy sweet onion and not chop them\n-\tThou shalt serve brown deli mustard\n\nWhat I Liked:\n-\tThe hot dog was all beef\n-\tThe hot dog bun was fresh and was not the star of the meal\n-\tThe Texas Weiner sauce had a good depth of flavor\n-\tThe onions were sweet. Sweet, minced onions always work better on a Texas Weiner.\n-\tThe brown deli mustard was very good and was available at the table\n\nWhat I Did Not Like\n-\tThe hot dog had no snap and was a tad salty\n-\tThe hot dog barely extended the roll on each end\n-\tThe Texas Weiner sauce was a bit watery\n-\tThe onions could have been minced finer\n-\tThe brown deli mustard was not available at the table\n\nMy overall restaurant rating is 8.1/10 and ended up being our #3 Texas Weiner restaurant on the day. My Hot Diggity Dog rating is 7.9/10 Barks. It ended up being our #3 Texas Weiner on the day.“

“We definitely recommend A&G Luncheonette, If you are looking for a place to enjoy a delicious breakfast with your family, they have a delicious seasoning and excellent customer service, places that are no longer found in the surrounding area“

“Great breakfast and healthy smoothies. A little pricey but still great“

“Always stop in for breakfast when I'm up by Union. Their Bacon egg and cheese plus a coffee taste amazing

Parking: Usually plenty of parking, 2 cars can fit in the front on the street and 5+ in the lot, depends how busy“

“Excelente atención , rica comida y ensaladas variadas.“

“They have the best cheese grits around! I've had omletes, beef sausage, home fries and lunch sandwiches. I have never been disappointed by any item on the menu. I recommend calling ahead to pick up your order. Sometimes there can be a long wait but it is definitely worth it.“

“The restaurant has a retro vibe, and the food was top-notch!
The service from Raquel was friendly and wonderful, which made it even better.
The space was a bit small and felt cramped, but that actually added to the nostalgic atmosphere, so I didn’t mind.“

“lox w/cc on a croissant and cup of coffee for years❤ best bagels and bialys!“

“I’ve been eating here for almost 10 years. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. People use the word butter milk pancakes loosely. Theirs really taste like butter milk. Everything is good. Same chef for years. My only complaint is, They never open on time, they’ve actually been closed for a while with no notice. Shame because me and my girlfriend are from out of town and waited outside for almost 2 hours. If they correct punctuality, I would give it five out of five stars because the food is phenomenal.“

“I love their coffee and sandwiches. Great sandwich platters and friendly service!“

“Best waffles I’ve ever had. Not sure what they put in the batter but I’ve never had a waffle that tastes as good as the ones here.

All the other breakfast sandwiches are also really good, and the prices are very reasonable. I’ve only had their breakfast so I can’t comment on their other food.

I’d mostly recommend takeout here, yes there is a seating area but it’s kind of small.
