25 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Wilmington

“Since deli king in tewksbury closed my family and I have been searching for a breakfast joint, we’ve tried 3 already and we ate here today and this is now the go to place for breakfast for my family and I. Absolutely delicious, we ate everything left no crumbs. Couldn’t stop saying “wow that was good”…it was unbelievable so good…definitely the new Sunday go to breakfast joint!“

“So glad we happened to find this place! We were staying over for the night after a day in Boston and needed coffee and breakfast before heading home. The service here was more than friendly, the coffee was to die for and they had so many flavors to choose from! Our breakfast sandwiches were delicious. If we ever find ourselves in the area again, we will make it a point to come back!“

“Wow, there are some miserable people out there leaving reviews!Folks, DO read the reviews of the actual customers! They are NOT TRYING TO FOOL YOU!!!GREAT FOOD!These people actually cook their own food! They do not warm the soup out of a can!! They do not buy frozen Spinach pie and cook it for you…. they actually make it with fresh ingredients!They always try to listen to their customers and if it’s not on the menu and they have the ingredients they’ll make it for you…. Because they care! They have been caring for the customers for 23 years!“

“This place is authentic and warm, the food is simple but delicious, nothing pretentious/fancy, just good food, and we love it for that. The atmosphere is simple and relaxed, great for having a conversation, the service is excellent, and the prices are great. Best breakfast/lunch/brunch in the area!“

“This little bakery is cute. I walked I'm ans quickly realized it was cash only so I did have to go dig cash out of my car. I was greeted by the sweetest woman. The bagels I got were delicious. They were perfectly dense and huge! Only $2 per bagel which was great! 1000% recommend!“

“If you’re looking for a well priced breakfast, with lots of options, bottomless cup of coffee, fresh-squeezed, orange juice, and real maple syrup, this place is for you! This reminds me of New York diners with the career waitresses who will call you honey. Usually a wait but well worth it. I recommend number option 54-if you don’t want to have to decide between the waffle and egg plate!“

“Nan’s Cafe is my go-to for a quality breakfast. The food is always delicious, whether you’re craving a classic eggs and bacon or something more adventurous.The staff sets this place apart—they’re always amazing, making you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door.If you’re in the area and looking for an outstanding breakfast spot, do yourself a favor and check out Nan’s Cafe. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Placeis very large and very busy yet they run like a well oiled machine. Walked in, they took my order quickly, my food came up fast,everything was correct, the food was amazing, fresh, and tasty, and the price was reasonable. Would highly recommend this place, convenient location, eaay access, amazing food and service.“

“Everytime I come here the food always comes out correctly. On my last visit having lunch with my mom I had their new smothered chicken sandwich it was so delicious packed a huge piece of chicken with the toppings it fell apart while I was eating it so used a fork and knife.“

“What an absolute find this place was! A little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that's easy to miss. Extremely friendly service with unbeatable prices! Menu fairly limited, but they offer a good amount of specials and you can find pretty much anything you would at most breakfast places. Got a biscuit breakfast sandwich that was on special. Came with home fries and ordered a side of bacon as well. Food came out quick and everything was delicious. Staff seemed to know every customer there or that came in for takeout. I need to become a regular here and cannot wait to come back!“

“What a GEM! Great food and service! Scallops, haddock, lobster pie, steak tips; all 5star - and the Tuscan pork chops are a MUST.We'll be back soon.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap spaces not very close; wheelchair ramp is very long, but probably satisfies the local code. The dining experience minimizes the inconvenience.“

“I was finally able to get to Somebody's Place to get my hands on their donuts. They made super cute heart shaped donuts for Valentine's Day that I didn't get a chance to grab. The long anticipated wait to try these donuts was completely worth it. Their hours are Monday through Friday, 7am to 2pm. They know what they're doing. When your product is this good, you can make whatever hours you want. You build up the hype this way. You can't make these available on the weekends. I would be a regular here. I was able to bring the kids along with me and they were just as excited as I was to walk through the door. The inside of the place was cute with several tables to eat. They must have known we were coming as they had a high chair placed in front of the donut case for my littlest who climbed that thing with ease. My eldest in predictable fashion picked the chocolate frosted and my youngest nabbed the last strawberry frosted from the case. For the husband and myself I picked an apple cider, apple fritter, honey dipped lemon, and the fried dough, as recommended by the staff (amazing choice by the way!!). The woman at the counter was super nice and helpful. I ordered a hot coffee and even that was delicious! Instead of the kids asking, "Are we there yet?", every minute of the drive I was asking the kids, "Can I eat my donuts in the car?". I maintained composure and waited. Each donut tasted flavorful, soft, yet perfectly slightly crispy on the outside. I think my favorite of the bunch was the fried dough because it was so light and fluffy. I make far drives for good food, especially donuts, and this rivals some of the best donuts I've had. It's tough since this place is actually pretty close to me. From start to finish, just an enjoyable trip. I will be back to try other things. I had tunnel vision. They have a whole menu, but they had me at donuts.“

“Delicious breakfast food! Ordered a blueberry and heath pancake and was really happy with the light crispiness around the edges. The breakfast sandwich was also great. Eggs cooked perfectly, but I would order this on sourdough next time instead of the bulkie. In and out relatively quickly, will definitely come back on another lazy Sunday morning.“

“The nicest people in town! The waitresses are super nice and the kitchen is always consistent and delicious- especially the omelettes and chocolate chip pancakes! If you’re looking for a warm atmosphere to enjoy your breakfast this is the spot! :) 10/10“

“My vanilla latte was basically correct - lingering finish, not bitter - but the beans either weren't the freshest or were just not ground finely enough, because I didn't get the awesome flavor that coffee can deliver. Inside is a little dated for my taste. The booth seating has tape and tears in places like an aging diner or cafeteria would.“

“Don't judge a book by its cover. First impression was that the cafe was small and really busy. But after we were seated and Kim came over to greet us, she was friendly and really terrific. The place calmed down a bit, we had a great table, and the food was really good. Omelette was great, tasty pancakes, home fries were crispy. We ended up lingering way too long. I would absolutely come back for the great service and the food. You have to get past the size of the cafe, and after that, you'll become a fan like we did.“

“Paul Revere Restaurant is a step back in time (in the best way) to old-fashioned diner style eating. I had to Two Lanterns and some hot coffee. The plate was super filling and delicious while being a no-frills joint. Prices were very reasonable, and you can tell a lot of diners were regulars based on their conversations with staff. Our waitress was great, and consistently checked in and topped our coffee off. We're already planning our visit back!“

“Absolutely love this place. Nothing better than a great family owned diner.Great people, great service, great food.What more could you ask for?I can't tell you how many times I have been running late and they get me in and out in a flash.I wish they were open later in the day but I understand why they aren't.If you want to support an excellent family owned local business stop in and check them out, but make sure you are aware of the hours so you aren't unnecessarily disappointed.“

“Just came back from Robert’s the atmosphere was great. The wait staff was wonderful . We got blueberry pancakes , home fries and an omelette all were amazing. We cleared our plates. The place was very clean and put together I would definitely be going back :)“

“I eat here often and never have had a bad meal. It’s a small family run restaurant. Service is good and food is usually quick. It can get busy on weekends so service can take longer sometimes. It’s basic breakfast nothing fancy but it’s good.“

“Good spot for breakfast north of Boston. Most of my food was pretty good, and they do give you lots of it.I got their buffalo chicken waffles special, which was obviously something a little different but I thought it was tasty. Their homefries were nothing to write home about, pun fully intended. They were pretty mushy with only a few crispy spots.Servers were very nice. Line cooks were fast too.Didn't try any yet so I don't know how they are, but they have a wide variety of muffins behind the counter.It is great that the price is right here. Very hard to find restaurants around Boston that actually give you a decent amount of food at a reasonable price.“

“My family and I have been coming to Beyond Bagels for as long as I can remember! From lunch dates to early Sunday mornings, Beyonds has and will continue to be a weekly ritual in our house! Everyone is so kind and welcoming, and the bagels are always fresh and delicious! My go-to order is a Turkey club on an egg bagel!“

“It's rare to bring my dairy free sister somewhere where she's able to eat almost anything on the menu. We scanned the bakery display and wondered what items were "safe" for her to eat and were pleasantly surprised when the helpful woman behind the counter excitedly explained that almost everything aside from 2-3 items contained no dairy! We went wild and ordered practically one of everything to bring home and sample, then got some breakfast to eat there too! I got breakfast tacos and my sister got a breakfast sandwich. Everything was great, though the homemade ketchup threw us a little. Not bad, just different.Everything is also gluten free too, and they have a great labeling system that helps narrow down which allergens are present in each item. I'm a self proclaimed bakery snob and even I was impressed by the variety and even the texture of the gluten free cake slices!“

“First time here, Happy to find an Irish breakfast place, prices extremely reasonable, owners running it, lots of local regular customersplenty of seatingclean, comfortable, I got a takeout, boot sandwich w/ side B,beans, Food delicious!!!, definitely be back, A must try!!Vegetarian options: Many meatless options available,“

“My husband & I went to the lighthouse for the first time more than five years ago. It has that classic cafe feel that doesn’t go out of style & it also is kept very clean (even the rest rooms). We live out of town but we continue to go back. We always have breakfast & it is a good classic breakfast at a very fair price. But it really is the people who are there that bring you back. Leo, the owner & cook eventually will know any regular customer’s name & he is always happy to see his returning customers. Gina remembers what you drink & has it at your table before you have even looked at the menu. She always has something to say to the kids or show to them. My granddaughters always get a special Micky Mouse pancake often delivered by Leo himself so he can say hi to the kids. There are (understandably) regulars there. If you enter with your hands full or pushing a stroller you never have to worry, someone always jumps up & lends a hand. It is the Cafe version of Cheers. There is a sense of community there. They know you & are happy to see you. If you haven’t been there definitely give it a try. A little local gem where kindness isn’t out of style.“
