The Best Breakfast in Naples Florida — 13 Egg-celent Choices

1. The Rooster Food & Drink

600 Goodlette Rd N, Naples

(239) 228-5973

Open for Breakfast & Lunch, Monday-Sunday 7:30am to 3:00pm, Wednesday-Friday 5:00pm to 8:00pm

If you are looking for a funky little breakfast spot in Naples you have to try the Rooster, serving up a southern-style menu that’s full of flavor. One glance at the top of the menu is all it takes to settle in to this delicious vibe — Biscuits with Jalapeno Sausage Gravy, a Fried Green Tomato Benne (served over a biscuit, topped with cornmeal fried green tomatoes, and poached eggs with a citrus hollandaise) or the Pulled Pork & Grits (slow cooked pulled pork and Anson Mills grits with salsa verde and poached eggs)… see what I mean?

It just gets better from there.

There’s even a doggy menu with treats for pups, so you can bring your best friend along. It’s no wonder The Rooster tops our list of outstanding places for breakfast in Naples Florida.

2. The Sunburst Cafe

2340 Pine Ridge Rd, Naples

(239) 263-3123

Open Daily 7:00am to 2:00pm

For over a decade, this colorful coffee house and breakfast spot has become one of the most beloved breakfast places in Naples to locals, but is still a hidden gem to many visitors. Inside, the interior is an inviting mish-mash of tables and chairs that welcome customers to grab a coffee and hang with friends.

Unique to the cafe is their Blue Zones Project menu with healthier breakfast and lunch items, a project built on making lifestyle changes like eating plant-based foods, and helping people "live longer and live better."

Some of the Sunburst favorites on the extensive menu are Avocado Toast, the Vegan Bowl and the Costa Rican — two eggs served over a layer of rice and black beans with a side of salsa. Hearty and delicious, and not something you find on many breakfast menus around Naples. Their coffee and lattes are fantastic, even better with one of their signature muffins.

3. Jane's Cafe on Third

1209 3rd St S, Naples

(239) 261-2253

Open Daily 8:30am to 4:00pm

Known as one of the top brunch spots in Naples, Janes Garden Cafe elevates breakfast to new heights. It’s known for the best breakfast Naples FL has to offer, but it’s equally matched by its beautiful setting under bright orange umbrellas tucked in a European-style courtyard off Third Street South, not far from the Naples Pier.

You can dine literally like royalty and delve into the 'British Breakfast Fit for a King' if you feel like a traditional England breakfast.

Or try one of their signature breakfast Benedicts, fabulous french toast with fresh fruit, or the insanely good but surprisingly not-too-sweet Nutella crepes. The portions are generous and always delicious, and practically beg for a refreshing mimosa or Champagne cocktail to Instagram and then wash it all down.

4. Poached

2355 Vanderbilt Beach Rd Suite 156, Naples

(239) 593-0770

Open Daily 7:30am - 2:30pm

If you find yourself near the Shoppes at Vanderbilt or even better, at the Saturday morning Vanderbilt Farmer’s Market, look for Poached, a quaint cafe with indoor and outdoor seating that faces the farmers market directly.

Don’t get me wrong, the Cuban coffee, French crepes from the food truck, and the tamales and tostadas at the Mexican stand at the north end of the market are unbelievably delicious breakfast favorites at the market, sometimes you might need a bit more to start the day.

Poached is the perfect place. There is plenty of indoor seating for large groups or families and outdoors as well. The service is always on point and their menu offers much more than the average breakfast in Naples — from a wide array of specialty omelets to 6 different kinds of French toast and another 6 unique breakfast bennies.

Their avocado toast with poached eggs is a favorite of mine, and we highly recommend the Brioche BLTA (with avocado).

5. Grain de Cafe

8803 Tamiami Trail N, Naples

(239) 594-8081

Open Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm, Sunday 8:00am-3:00pm

One of the most European breakfast restaurants in Naples Florida, Grain de Cafe is the place to go for genuine French artisan treats like flaky and buttery croissants, fresh baguette, and French pastries, all prepared by transplants to Naples who originally hail from France.

But it’s much more than sumptuous baked goods. The quiches are to die for and the classic Croque-Madame or Monsieur are worth the trip alone.

EJ's Bayfront Cafe is a favorite spot for a delicious Naples breakfast at their prime location in downtown Naples at Bayfront. They’ve been proudly serving traditional fare to customers in their small but casual open-air setting on the Naples Bay.

This is a great place to catch up with friends on the weekend over a delightful cuppa Joe or fresh squeezed OJ made daily. Their bennies, scrambles, and skillets are creative and always good. EJ's is also pet friendly, so you can bring your best mate along too. Because of its size, the line for a table can get long, but it’s worth the wait.

12. LuLu B’s Diner

2374 Immokalee Rd, Naples

(239) 596-1965

Open Daily 8:00am - 2:00pm

It’s rare that we dine out anywhere and forget to take photos (hence the photo from our last visit), but that’s just what happened the last few times we’ve eaten at LuLu B’s, the bright and retro-inspired diner located at the Greentree Shopping Center at the northeast corner of Airport Rd. and Immokalee. Everything from the menu to the 60’s music to the fun plaques hanging on the walls are a welcome distraction.

The spacious diner may be in a strip mall but the feel is straight out of the comfortable diners we all love — the ones where servers are the waitresses of yesteryear who shout across the room to friends coming through the door and treat you like family.

They serve breakfast and lunch every day with a menu that includes traditional breakfast items and excellent breakfast sandwiches. You’ll even find heart-healthy options like Avocado toast with poached eggs and the Un-Carbo Diet Thing. And if you come for lunch, their burgers and Reubens are really good.

We first discovered them at their old location in North Naples and like their new location even more.
