Breakfast is arguably the most important meal of the day, and from time to time, it’s nice to slow down and enjoy a robust first meal from one of DFW’s tastiest breakfast destinations.
From crepes and waffles to loaded breakfast sandwiches and vegan tacos, there’s something for every early riser at one of these essential breakfast spots.
Cindi’s N.Y. Delicatessen, Restaurant & Bakery
Cindi’s keeps it real East Coast-style, especially where breakfast is concerned. Indulge your inner New Yorker with lox and bagels, blintzes, and latkes, or stick to classic Texas favorites with migas or a chorizo omelet. Breakfast is served all day, so don’t worry about waking up early.

Lubbies Bagels
Get bagels for the whole office, or just for yourself. Lubbie’s offers some good ones with excellent schemer. There’s also the option to get a bagel breakfast sammie with eggs and whatever else you like. The shop offers a variety of bagel sammies — our go-to is the Muffy the Bagel Slayer with smoky ham, Tasso ham, smoked bologna, veggie jardiniere, creole mayo, and Provolone cheese.

Goodfriend Package
It’s a near-universally acknowledged fact that if you’re looking for a tasty breakfast sandwich, you hit up Goodfriend Package. The Warbird on a freshly-baked biscuit (egg white, turkey sausage, American cheese, and tomato) is a solid order, while the Scrambler breakfast sandwich (ham, sausage, bacon, scrapple, and scrambled eggs with white cheddar over potato hash) will satisfy any meat lover.

John’s Cafe
Low-key and no-frills, John’s Cafe on Lowest Greenville Avenue has been around for five decades. For breakfast, diners can expect omelets, migas, scrambles, waffles, pancakes, and basic breakfasts ordered by loyal neighborhood customers. Make sure you say hi to John; sometimes you can find him up at the front.
1733 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX 75206(214) 874-0800
Original Market Diner
The Original Market Diner in the Medical District is the kind of place with a rotating pie case, where the waitresses still call people “sweetie.” Which makes sense, since it has been a family-owned spot for decades. Order some crisp, juicy fried chicken sandwiched between fluffy waffles with a side of hash browns, bacon, and eggs. If at all possible, save room for a post-breakfast slice of pie.

Bread Winners
The OG of brunch and breakfast in Dallas is obviously a must-eat spot. Pop in for cinnamon pecan rolls for the table, a farmhouse scramble, or just a big plate of chicken fried steak and eggs. Cannot possibly go wrong.

San Martin Bakery and Restaurant
This gorgeous bakery also serves a mean sit-down breakfast. Highlights include chilaquiles With cochinita pibil or steak, smoked salmon toast, and Mexican molletes. Add on a basket of freshly baked bread just because you can.

Margaret’s
There are a lot of hotels around Dallas offering lovely breakfast menus. A hotel is a dependable spot to get a hot, if somewhat fancy, breakfast. Dive in to the ricotta and basil scramble for a protein-heavy start, or the Texas-style shakshuka with jalapeno cornbread. The apple cider pancakes are also a fun twist on a classic.

Starship Bagel
There’s not a better breakfast bite than the award-winning bagels at Shug’s. Be forewarned, however, they don’t do eggs and bacon on the bagels. It’s strictly the best schemers one can imagine and fresh veggies.

City Hall Bistro
For those in the mood for an indulgent hotel breakfast, this chic Downtown restaurant inside the Adolphus Hotel offers omelets, photo-worthy avocado toast, and more coffee from Full City Roosters which is one of the city’s best. It starts serving at 7 a.m.

Jonathon’s Diner
If a classic American breakfast is what you seek, this Oak Cliff (and now Far North Dallas) diner is a great choice. Drop by for a pork chop and eggs, fried chicken and waffles, and an array of eggs Benedict and burgers (yes for breakfast). The list of breakfast-friendly cocktails is as extensive as the menu.

Oddfellows
Starting at 7 a.m. daily, grab a lovely breakfast at this Bishop Arts spot. Try smoked salmon toast with cream cheese, chicken chilaquiles, or a big plate of bread pudding French toast. And the house-made OJ, lemonade, and limeade are such a treat.

La Reunion
Eggs, coffee, mimosas: this tiny Bishop Arts cafe has all the things you need for a good breakfast. As a bonus, it’s quite popular with the WFH crowd so bring your laptop along for a delicious working meal. The egg and bagel sandwiches are a great handheld order.
