Top 5 Breakfast Spots in Breckenridge
October 8, 2025 / Lauren Parker
If you’re anything like me—and my family and friends—your vacation plans revolve around where you’re going to eat. The night before, we plan breakfast; at breakfast, we plan for lunch; and during lunch, we make dinner reservations. Living in Breckenridge year-round can feel like being on vacation every day! One of my favorite parts about calling this mountain town home is the incredible lineup of restaurants scattered along Main Street and beyond. When it comes to the best place for breakfast, the Best of Breck team has you covered.
Cool River Coffee House
Daily, 7 a.m.–3 p.m. | 325 S. Main St. | 970-453-1716
There’s no question why Cool River won the 2023 Best of Breckenridge award for Best Breakfast. With its extensive menu covering everything from breakfast burritos and sandwiches to homemade oatmeal cream pies and pop tarts, this local favorite has been a hot spot for over 20 years! We highly recommend the Veggie Burrito with spicy salsa, the Eggman Sandwich, or the Breakfast Scramble Bowl. All of these dishes pair perfectly with a Lavender Matcha Latte or Caramel Hazelnut Latte. Or, if you really want to kickstart your day, snag a Creamy Whiskey Cold Brew or Tequila Rose!
Blue Moose
Daily, 7 a.m.–1 p.m. | 540 S. Main St. | 970-453-4859
If you’re craving a classic American breakfast, diner-style, stop by Blue Moose for the yummiest, most delectable breakfast perfect for any season. This is a must-visit next time you’re in Breckenridge! It is always the first morning stop when I have friends or family come to town. Fuel up with the Country Benedict or satisfy that sweet tooth with French Toast and be ready for all the adventures ahead. Don’t sleep on their coffee cocktails or Breakfast Cereal Shot Flight!
Clint’s Bakery and Coffee House
Daily, 7 a.m.–8 p.m. | 131 S. Main St. | 970-453-2990
Located in the heart of downtown Breckenridge on Main Street, you’ll commonly find a line out the door of this local favorite. While making your way to the cashier, feast your eyes on the mouth-watering variety of muffins, croissants, bars/brownies, cookies, biscottis, cakes, pies, and cupcakes all on display. After ordering a specialty coffee, tea, or smoothie, head downstairs for a filling bagel breakfast sandwich. My go-to is the Santa Fe, but there really is no bad option!
The Crown
Daily, 8 a.m.–6 p.m. | 215 S. Main St. | 970-453-6022
As a previous Best of Breck Award winner for Best Coffee Shop, we can’t recommend The Crown enough for any occasion. Whether you’re craving breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this local favorite never disappoints. On your next stroll down Main Street, stop in for a hearty breakfast burrito, a quick pastry, or a slice of power toast. And if you have a little extra time, treat yourself to a morning cocktail—the perfect start to a true Breckenridge day.
Columbine Café
Daily, 7:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. | 109 S. Main St. | 970-547-4474
Tucked away on Main Street, Columbine Café can be found just behind Downstairs at Eric’s where you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy breakfast outside away from the crowds during warmer months. Sitting inside is nothing short of enjoyable and relaxing. This true café-style restaurant boasts serving breakfast all day long! Had a long night? Try their Hangover Burrito for a real pick-me-up! Looking for something a little sweeter? Columbine offers 12 inch pancakes for under $5!
