They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and this sentiment is particularly true when you’re on vacation. After all, you’ll spend the day sightseeing and exploring the town, so you want to have plenty of energy to propel you through! When you’re on Anna Maria Island, there are all kinds of magnificent restaurants waiting for you. Regarding Anna Maria Island restaurants specializing in breakfast, we’ve got three suggestions for you.
When you’re staying in one of our Anna Maria Island rentals, start your day at one of these eateries!
The Donut Experiment
Having donuts for breakfast (or brunch!) is an idea everyone can get behind, but your whole family might want different varieties. That’s why a trip to The Donut Experiment is perfect for your crew! This restaurant opened in 2012 and has been one of the favorite eateries on the island ever since.
When you step inside, you’ll be invited to customize your donut precisely how you want it. Start with a plain cake donut and add the icing of your choice, like chocolate, vanilla, or caramel. You can then pick your toppings, whether you want something sweet like Oreos or something savory like bacon! Finally, you can add a drizzle to top it all off.
Anna Maria Island Beach Café
Situated right on the shores of Holmes Beach is the Anna Maria Island Beach Café, home to some of the best breakfasts in Anna Maria Island. Starting at 8 a.m. each morning, locals and visitors alike flock here to get their waterfront table and pick a breakfast classic to get their day started.
If you’re feeling particularly hungry, go for a special like the All You Can Eat Pancakes or a 3-Egg Omelet with your choice of filling. They also have other breakfast favorites like biscuits and gravy, French toast, eggs Benedict, Belgian waffles, and more. Get a side of bacon, home fries, or oatmeal to finish it off.
Rod & Reel Pier
Perhaps the most beloved of all the best restaurants on Anna Maria Island is Rod & Reel Pier. Located on the island’s North side in the city of Anna Maria, this destination opened its doors back in 1947 and has welcomed guests ever since. Come experience this slice of “Old Florida” and enjoy the view of the water and the pier while you dine.
Breakfast at Rod & Reel Pier is nothing short of decadent. You can choose a classic option like the steak and eggs or the spinach, tomato, and feta omelet. If you want an authentic taste of the Florida coast, opt for Our Famous Seafood Omelet! Buttermilk pancakes, Island Style French Toast, and the egg and cheese sandwich are a few more delicious offerings you can choose from.
