50 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Elkins Park

“The best crepes in the Philadelphia area, as far as I can tell. Great coffee and ice cream, too. Tucked away in Elkins Park, but very much worth discovering.“

“Wifey got the apple cider french toast and I got the caribbean benedict. We shared the chips and salsa. We were both amazed at how incredible our food was. The staff is super friendly. Can't wait to go back!“

“It was a really nice vibe and great food“

“First the meatloaf and the chili are both top notch. Only two items I’ve tried on multiple visits, but would definitely order both again. The menu is great, a lot of selection, and food is relatively quick to arrive (good given they close at 6pm is my recollection). Service has been normally good, gets very busy. Atmosphere is retro-diner so it gets loud, but as to be expected. Go, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I enjoy this breakfast spot, I haven’t had a bad experience here and the food is good. I would recommend something sweet rather than something savoury as they have better sweet stuff. I really like the cinnamon rolls, the coconut vanilla coffee. They also have some great French press coffee that I strongly recommend.“

“Breakfast was absolutely delicious! Veggie omelette was yum! Waitress was friendly and attentive. Not a bad thing to say about it! Will definitely return!“

“Had breakfast this morning for the 1st time, it was delicious! Rebecca was our waitress and she was terrific! We definitely found our new place from now on!“

“One of the greatest places in town. Warm atmosphere, friendly staffs, and amazing food. Can't wait to go back ?“

“I have been patronizing M & M restaurant for many years. Marion and Margaret are the owners and operators of this little neighborhood eatery, a true husband and wife operation, the food is delicious and the service is great. It can get crowded especially on weekends, it a hole in the wall in the heart of Port Richmond and worth it.“

“I read all the positive reviews and had to check it out for myself. I have always found it difficult to find something as simple as a good breakfast place. But this time i found it! The second I walked in, I was impressed. The hostess greeted me immediately and with a smile. I asked if I should order now and she smiled and explained that she'd take my order and she'll bring it to me. It was very pleasant. The store itself is clean and bright. I ordered two eggs medium, sausage patties,home fries with peppers and onions, rye toast with a little butter and a medium coffee. Everything was made exactly as I ordered it. The portions were generous and the coffee was great. Thirteen bucks for all that. Perfect. I'll be back.“

“They perfected the Scrapple egg and cheese. I see many visits here in the future. Chk 'em out“

“Decided I wanted pancake after a 5:40 am HIIT workout. The women who took my order was very nice and repeated my order back to me, to make sure she wrote it down correctly. The value for the food was fairly price; got 4 banana pancakes for around $10. The pancakes were very delicious and they were perfectly cook. Don’t sleep on good deli!“

“Very nice, very clean, the people are very nice. The pancakes are very big and delicious, the sausage and scrapple were very good. Will return

Wheelchair accessibility: The doorway is very tight for a wheelchair and the ramp is a bit steep but you can definitely get in there“

“Thx 2 Chopped, I ate here! Best decision ever, tremendous food, Banh Mi Breakfast sandwich and their Sweet Bacon Jam Redux sandwich are incredible.“

“So I came in yesterday for Mother’s Day , My mom wanted to go somewhere else cause she never heard of the restaurant and it looked dim but when we was looking for restaurants the reviews said nope you gotta eat there and you must try the gumbo so after some convincing we went in not the most pleasing looking restaurant not dirty but more so outdated ,but in a fun kind of way they have a old school phone booth that we took pictures in non of the plates matched which was fine cause it reminded of a actual home I like the the owner came and introduced himself and ask to have a seat and made sure we got everything we needed I already ordered the gumbo but he suggested it and give the rest of my party a sample . When I tell you the gumbo was so good I called my best friend who never had gumbo and told her to come and she was amazed I can honestly say we loved everything the home feeling the comfort food , the prices it was a party of 4 we had aloooottt of food cause we wanted to try everything and it was only 75 dollars or so with drinks and laughter and nostalgia included will worth glad I convinced my family to give this Philly hidden gem a try also No pork for all my non pork eaters in Philly give this place a try . When I come back to Philly to visit definitely going back

“Food was amazing. very large omelets.server was fantastic!“

“respectful service clean great food“

“I want to thank the team at First Watch - Abington for their generosity in support of American Association of Cancer Research Friends of the AACR Foundation - Party With A Purpose efforts to raise funds for Pediatric Cancer Research.“

“I don't know what's going on with the one star ratings but they seem fake.

I ordered 3 times from Graduate Breakfasts. Pancakes with Nutella on a delivery order; they were fantastic The pancakes were cooked perfectly and the sides of meat were fresh and hot. The portions are on the large side which is great for me because I like a big breakfast.
The next delivery was a bunch of dishes for my friends and I to recover from the night before and they did the job we all felt great and refreshed and rejuvenated after eating these yummy plates. Nomx100.

Lastly, I had was a spontaneous chicken salad sandwich as I was walking by. Even this everyday-type-sandwich was very tasty and anything but mundane. It was seasoned perfectly and not dry and the bread was fresh so was the produce.

So don't believe the fake reviews. You can tell by their equally lame fake names and identical content. (e.g. Justin Case. So unimaginative,like the post)

This place is a gem. The food is fresh, tasty and fulfilling. Meals of this caliber can only be prepared by people who care about the food.

I just love good food. Period.

*I didn't rate the atmosphere because it's delivery or take out so that's not really applicable here.“

“Great little place. Great food, super friendly owner and staff. Will definitely come back next time we are in Philly“

“Cookie dough French toast was out of this world!!! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“Easily in the top two for French toast! The other place is in Royersford. Now living in Florida, can’t get a decent French toast. Miss this place!“

“We loved it, in fact we returned a second time. Generous portions, wide choice and very modest prices. The service was excellent, the staff was always nice and attentive to our requests. From the outside you wouldn't give it a penny, but if you're in the area it's really worth stopping by for breakfast, you won't regret it! :)“

“staff is very welcoming and very prompt great service“

“I was getting my nails done across the street & i originally wasn’t going to stop by but i walked past the place & felt such a good vibe i had to walk in. as soon as i walk in a lady in the front greeted me very nicely, the service was 10/10 but there was just a special energy everyone was super nice the food was delicious the pancakes were so fluffy & warm the whole time i was there they made sure i was okay & had everything i needed no bad vibes at all & i enjoyed eating in.“

“Been ordering since day one, never dissatisfied.“

“Delish bagels, staff is always friendly, make great suggestions. Small, family-owed business, very clean and bright. Each time we’ve loved what we ordered… it’s just an overall very pleasant experience!“

“Love this place!! Just moved to the area recently & wanted a quick place to grab breakfast. My food came up within 5 minutes! Was super fresh tasting & wasn’t greasy at all. Ryan greeted me when I walked in. You could hear the kindness & genuineness in his voice. He speaks to everyone like their his friend/family, asking their name, how their day is, for regulars asking how they’ve been etc, its so refreshing & admirable. He has such an amazing energy. Its people like this that make such a memorable experience & foster a sense of community to where even if the food was sub par (which it was not) I’d still come back! My server Ellie was sweet also!!! I love small owned businesses like this that treat you like a friend rather than just a stranger/customer. Can’t wait to come back to get lunch.“

“Love this place. Food’s a good price. It’s not fancy, but it’s consistently good and it’s cheaper than fast food.

The service is great and the waitresses are always friendly. They know my order.

And, I dig the atmosphere. I get so sick of cookie-cutter corporate-looking restaurants. This is a greasy spoon that has proper grits and weird clown paintings.“

“shrimp an grits homefried“

“Enjoyed going here in the past. Definitely need to go back again. Highly recommended“

“This is one of the better egg sammies I've had, and I really enjoyed the pulled pork hashbrowns. Very friendly service. A bit hard to find, but will definitely return, and I want to try the BBQ.“

“Cookie dough French toast was out of this world!!! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“If you need a hot made to order meal that is filling, stop by this lil spot. No dine in option and cash only but you get the bang for the buck. You can call in an order as well. Had to get a Philly n fries which was pretty good. They serve breakfast as well. The servings are decent size and they make sure you get all your condiments.“

“Cookie dough French toast was out of this world!!! Definitely recommend!!!!“

“These guys are one of the best delis around, consistent products, friendly service, and tasty food for low prices. It doesn't get better than this. I have bought over 100 sandwiches from them and they are more consistent than any fast food place. It's delicious every time.“

“The best place to get breakfast it's fast nice clean place this the only place I'll eat breakfast at opens at a good time and the breakfast sandwiches is the best bread always fresh I always get a beef bacon egg a d cheese sandwich I always have to get 2 of them with a side of cheese grits with extra cheese the grit's always thick just perfect ?????☺️“

“Love coming here on brunch dates! Such a cute place to just relax with some great food and coffee. We like to bring some card games too - there’s ample space on tables to play while eating our food and it’s the best!!
Allison served us today and she was absolutely wonderful ? thanks to the restaurant team ??“

“A hidden breakfast on the fly spot right on the corner of Windrim Ave they make a heck of a breakfast platter at least the couple times I stopped through in recent years this place and Kim's seafood up the street have been Nostalgic spots to get a grub for me for years both have good Fresh food .“

“I ordered somewhat of 2 platters. Oreo waffles with hash browns chicken tenders. Fruity pebble French toast with salmon, eggs, and hash browns. The food was incredible my salmon was very flavorful and did not have a fishy taste. The waffles were super fluffy and moist!! However, the food that had toppings could’ve used a little more like my Oreo waffles and fruity pebble French toast. Also the packaging was a little messy the condiments were thrown in the bag so my napkins included were sticky with oil and sauces. Overall my food was delicious and delivery was speedy and the food was still hot on arrival. Definitely will order again!“

“Hubs and I are on vacation and we literally just Googled breakfast places near us. We try to eat local when we travel and avoid chain restaurants so we chose this one based on the reviews. And it did not disappoint! The food is great and there’s plenty of it! I had the western omelette and home fries and could not finish it. Hubs got two eggs, bacon, sausage and home fries and also could not finish. The service is excellent, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. A must try!!“

“They are literally so sweet. I ordered the same order today that I did yesterday (they were out of spinach yesterday). They remembered me and went out their way to call me and let me know they have spinach today and can add it to my order. ?? Ive also been ordering from them for a while now since I’ve lived in west Philly the past 3-4 years and they’ve never disappointed me. Whatever yall are doing, keep doing it!!!“

“The owner is such a nice guy and this business has great food and great service i have known this man for over 40 years when he use to be at 60th Market in west philly the food is still the same good as always one of the few gems left in Philadelphia from yesteryear that never changed i go there at least once or twice a week Tony is a great guy and so is his business Tony Boys I give it 5 stars !“

“A great hidden spot for brunch. This was our first time here and we would definitely come by again! The food was great, with my personal favorites being the breakfast sandwich and waffles. The food also came by quickly and the portions were generous too.“

“Waffles with strawberries, bananas, blue berries, whip cream is to die for.. they are super friendly… I love this place“

“The food was fresh and delicious! The portions was generous and the staff was very coiurteous! I was really surprised with the delights of this little eatery! Higher recommended if you're in the neighborhood or nearby! #SupportSmallBusinesses! Enoy! ??❤“

“I went down 1 hour and 40 minutes to pick up car parts at Camden, where there was a backlog of orders, so I couldn't pick them up right away. I was waiting and wanted to have lunch, but I heard that the neighborhood was very dangerous, so I was wondering where to eat, and found it right next to it, so I went there. It's a life-changing location. I think I ate it. Not only was it delicious, but the Korean lady was so kind and helped me order, so I spread my favorite honey mustard on the seafood sandwich and it goes all in without a hitch. With a $9 sandwich and a glass of cool water, as much as you can afford, you can relax after a frustrating day here. This is a sandwich shop that I definitely want to come back and eat next time I pass by. Thank you so much for the delicious lunch.“
