A great day in Destin starts with one of our many great breakfast options! The city has plenty of locally loved restaurants where you can fuel up before a beach day, fishing trip, or morning on the water.
If you are staying in our Destin, FL, condo rentals, you will be close to several popular breakfast and brunch options. Here are six Destin breakfast spots worth adding to your vacation plans.
The Pancakery
The Pancakery of Destin is a go-to choice when you’re craving a classic sit-down breakfast with plenty of options. The restaurant opened its original Destin location in 2011 and has become a familiar stop for vacationing families.
As the name suggests, pancakes are a major draw. The menu also includes Belgian waffles, French toast, crepes, omelets, eggs Benedict, avocado toast, and breakfast combinations. Kids have their own menu, making this an easy choice for families heading out for a full day of activities in Destin.
Donut Hole Bakery Cafe
Donut Hole Bakery and Cafe is one of Destin’s longtime breakfast staples. Its combination of a bakery and full-service restaurant makes it a good option for both a quick morning treat and a more traditional breakfast.
Fresh donuts, pastries, and homemade pies are a big part of the experience, but the restaurant serves much more than baked goods. Breakfast choices include familiar favorites such as eggs, pancakes, sausage, bacon, and hash browns. Grab a box of donuts to bring back to your rental for another morning, too.
Crackings.
Crackings. – Destin is a family-owned breakfast and brunch restaurant that focuses on homestyle morning favorites. It is a good pick for travelers who want to slow down over breakfast rather than grab something on the way to the beach.
The restaurant serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch, with a menu that goes beyond basic eggs and toast. Seating is first come, first served, and guests can join the waitlist before arriving.
East Pass Coffee Co.
For a more casual morning, East Pass Coffee Co. combines craft coffee with breakfast and lunch in Old Destin. The locally owned cafe has both indoor seating and an outdoor area, making it easy to settle in for a relaxed start to the day.
The kitchen prepares food from scratch and offers breakfast choices alongside bowls, baked goods, and other fresh options. This is also a convenient stop when coffee is just as important as breakfast.
Cafe Destin
Cafe Destin serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, and espresso drinks. The breakfast menu covers a wide range of tastes, from Southern breakfasts and biscuits and gravy to omelets, Belgian waffles, pancakes, French toast, and avocado toast.
The cafe also offers several coffee and espresso choices, including lattes, cappuccinos, cold brew, and macchiatos. Guests staying in our Destin vacation rentals can make Cafe Destin part of a laid-back morning before exploring more of the area.
