ATTENTION!! If you’re ever in Ellwood City, whether you’re passing through or staying at Mines & Meadows for the weekend, this is a place you have to try. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by friendly, proud staff and the smell of incredible food.
Their home-ground seasoned sausage, secret pancake mix, locally fresh-baked bread, and local coffee truly set them apart — you won’t find food made like this just anywhere. We chose this spot based only on their pictures and were more than pleased with both the food and the service.
Five stars, and we might just make the drive back just for the Gypsy toast! 😋

We drive 40 minutes to go to breakfast after hearing rave reviews. We were disappointed to find this place closed while Google still listed it as open.

Breaking bread is one of my favorite breakfast spots in the city. Their omelettes are amazing, their portions are huge and everything is fresh. The staff is great, everyone is friendly and I really enjoy when I get to come have a breakfast here. They have great weekly and seasonal specials as well that are always changing.

While visiting relatives in Ellwood City, they recommended Breaking Bread for breakfast. They weren’t wrong! I had the Breaking Benedict – the traditional dish, which was done to perfection and served with hash browns that were subtly spiced and utterly delicious! My wife had a sumptuous three-egg omelette with mushrooms, spinach, and Swiss cheese, served with two hefty slices of marbled rye toast. The coffee was “diner perfect,” and came with frequent refills. Delightful decor and friendly people completed the perfect breakfast experience!

We just happened to find it while visiting family in town. From the minute we walked in we loved it. From the environment to the food and especially the employees everything was great! Would highly recommend stopping in. When I go back to Ellwood City it will be my first stop!!

Food was delicious and the staff is friendly. Rochelle was an amazing waitress, super friendly and helpful
From the moment we sat down, the service was warm and welcoming. We ordered the pancakes and the stuffed French toast, and both were absolutely phenomenal. The pancakes were fluffy, golden, and topped with just the right amount of butter and powdered sugar — simple but perfect. The French toast was next level — loaded with strawberries and piled high with whipped cream, it was indulgent in the best way possible.
What really stood out was the kindness of our waitress. I asked about the biscuits, and even though they don’t normally sell them individually, she brought us a couple anyway — completely unprompted and incredibly thoughtful. That small gesture alone made our morning. And for the record, those biscuits were heavenly — soft, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth good.
It’s rare to find a place where both the food and the people make you feel so at home. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re anywhere near Ellwood City!

Tucked away in a cozy corner of the city, Breaking Bread is the kind of spot that feels like a warm hug the second you walk in. From the name alone, I expected homestyle cooking — and it delivered way more than that.
