16 Best Breakfast Restaurants near East Brunswick

“Yes, it was to meet my friends and have brunch. Everything was great but they do need to tell you that they need to mention any fruits that goes on your pancakes or the side that they come cold that is my only complaint you have to let them know that you would like your fruits warmed up“

“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!“

“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.“

“I love this place. Bagels are always fresh. I always get a bacon, egg and cheese with or without avocado depending on my mood and it’s so good the bacon comes out nice and crispy not burnt but not soggy. The only thing I noticed the last time I was there I don’t know if the guy is the owner or what but he offered me “free gummy candy” (the hamburger gummies) like literally handed it to me and then proceeded to charge me for it. Like why say it’s free if it’s not lol“

“I’ve been coming here sporadically over the last year or so, ordering the same thing each time, and every time it is perfection. Just the best ingredients, best bagels, best everything, and the staff are hilarious! Can’t wait to come back again.“

“First time eating here and AMAZING food.

We came here on Mother’s Day Sunday and it was packed. We checked in and it was a 30 minute wait and good to know the line was moving quick and customers were seated in the restaurant. Though the service was slow, it was understandable as this was Mother’s Day, Sunday, and lunch time.

Having said this the food we ordered was tasty, value for money, and will definitely come here again to eat. Don’t forget to sign up on the App to get free pancakes from the Pancoins. Thank you IHOP!
