It’s all about breakfast and in New Smyrna Beach, a seaside gem swimming with charm, you would be amazed at the sheer multitude of breakfast joints that will kickstart a great day!
For daily breakfast that blows it out of the water, try breakfast with an ocean view at Toni & Joe’s Patio, with menu items such as Texas-style French toast, breakfast burritos, pancakes out the wazoo and their signature NSB Slam.
Locals love Ruthy’s Kozy Kitchen for traditional breakfast that is affordable and always on point.
Lost Lagoon is a stellar member of the Sunday brunch bunch, at which you may enjoy shrimp and grits, sausage and biscuits and even a make your own pancake station.
Plus, if you are looking to relax with a refreshing Sunday libation, you might try the $5 Bloody Marys at Chase’s on the Beach or the endless mimosas from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. (I guess technically there is an end) at River Deck.
There’s Third Wave Café with bananas foster and rock shrimp scramble, Island Roasters with avocado toast and brie and fig jam croissants, Wake Up Café for hot honey chicken biscuits and eggs benedict virtually any way.
And if instead you prefer the perfect little pick me up, Bagel World has got your jam! How about a bacon egg and cheese on a jalapeno cheddar bagel or 1/2 dozen bagels in every variety from spinach Florentine to French toast!
