1. Blue Hen Cafe

A from-scratch breakfast-and-lunch spot built around fresh, homemade food and a no-fuss approach: no reservations, no call-ahead, just show up. Full breakfast runs before lunch takes over, so this is a sit-down-and-relax kind of morning.

2. Sunday Gathering Table

Sourdough is the headliner here, with breakfast and lunch built around chef-made bread, toasts, egg specialties, salads, and sandwiches. The Gray 1908 setting gives the whole stop a little extra character.

3. Ragga Surf Cafe

A scratch-made menu, specialty coffee, treats, and waterfront views make this the laid-back option for an easy morning. The cooking stays fresh and unfussy, and the water is right there while you linger over coffee.

4. The Floridian

A Southern restaurant in the heart of historic downtown that runs a brunch service worth building a morning around. The location puts you right in the thick of the old town, so it folds easily into a day of wandering.

5. The Reef Restaurant

A seaside spot where the water view is half the reason to go, serving weekend brunch with Sunday's table set to live jazz and classical guitar. Bring someone you want to sit and talk with while the music plays.
