Is it only our impression that almost every restaurant in Krakow serves breakfasts? We had tried almost 60 different breakfast menus all over city to find out which places have the saving power in the morning- serve you great coffee and eggs. We present our breakfast ranking!
Top five! We go there most often and if you want to make yourself or someone the greatest pleasure – be sure to start the day in them! Haveabite’s favorites!
BAL [klik]
#bigchoice #goodcoffee
Bal is the most important and most visited place in the area. Over a year ago, they decided to base their menu on breakfast and it was true hit! Their offer is just outstanding! They can boast the most interesting menu for a morning meal. Everyone will find something for themselves- you can eat eggs made how you like them, croissants – savoury or sweet, millets, baguette, toasts and famous bagels. You should also consider breakfast sets- a plate full of goodies that comes with really great coffee. It is a definitely portion for two! And it costs… 32 PLN! The menu has one more gem – Turkish menemen scrambled eggs. Try it yourself!
You will eat breakfasts here:
Monday till friday 9:00 – 11:30
On weekends od 9:00 throughout the day
PRO TIP: during the weekends you can eat wonderful pancakes and brunch sets with classical breakfast %. Also look for a cake named “Malinowa Chmurka” as it’s almost too good to be true!

Ranny Ptaszek [klik]
#vege #goodcoffee
The most beautiful and the only breakfast bar in the city. This place was created to make you smile in the morning. Ranny Ptaszek is known for bowls of goodness and prime Shakshouka. It is served classically, which means generously covered with parsley or coriander, or with additional sausage, or even with feta cheese. Hot pita bread, bowls with hummus and silage – this is poetic food, because it moves you deeply. In the winter season, the Tajins were also cooked there (this Tajins we still have in our memory as something superb) ! It is also worth to look at the specials of the day (usually soup), or simply have a cup of good coffee while soaking up the sun in the shadow of an acacia tree.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Monday till friday 8:00 – 16:00
On weekends 9:00 – 16:00
PRO TIP: if you can not eat gluten or bread with a high GI, you can change the pita from the set into chickpea pancakes!

Żonglerka
#naturalcheese
Żonglerka is not a typical breakfast bar. It is more of a Community Centre for the area that is working from morning till evening. However, it does not bother to consider their breakfasts as one of the best in the city. Prepare yourself that you will not find a breakfast card on the spot. The owners will give you a set of what they have at hand. And they usually have the same magnificence – cheeses with Frontier Ranches, „bread from Zosia” (Zaczyn is one of the best bakeries in Krakow), baked vegetables, farm eggs. And butter!
You will eat breakfasts here:
Tuesday till friday from 9:00 while stock last
On weekends from 10 while stock last
PRO TIP: this breakfast pairs extremely well with a glass of natural wine.

Zaczyn [klik]
#vegan #goodcoffee
In our opinion Zaczyn is one of the two best bakeries in Krakow. And although the breads sell out immediately, you can get breakfast there whenever they are open. For this important meal you can get in Zaczyn: vegan sandwiches! You can only imagine how incredible they taste so they end up in our top five! Bakers every day come up with two different flavors that can be ordered separately or combined. On warm, broiled bread you will often find hummus, nut curd, fruit, baked vegetables and natural dressings – molasses, syrups, tahina. For breakfast, you will drink overflow coffee from Karma.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Wednesday till friday 7:30 – 15:00
On weekends 9:00 – 15:00
PRO TIP: Zaczyn bakes the best jagodzianki! They are buns filled with blackberries in other words: our addiction! And remember that buns and challah can also be a perfect breakfast!

Cheder
#vege #goodcoffee
This place is a little bit hidden, but very famous among informed tourists, but still not very often recognized by locals (well, unless we consider the groups wandering around Kazimierz for years). Cheder, it’s not just the headquarters of the FKŻ, but also a great cafe, which has long been proud of its high quality and interesting product. Vibe is also amazing there. The place is dim, silent ethnic music plays, and guests trying to fit into the atmosphere, speak in a low voice. It’s a wonderful place to relax especially because they serve fantastic breakfasts. A hummus set with egg and vegetables and a labneh is more then tempting! Food from cheder has a special place in our hearts.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Every day from 10:00 to 13:00.
PRO TIP: try the casserole coffee and rooibos espresso- they are Cheder’s specials!

Although it was our „top five”, not only they feed well in the morning! We have selected 25 (sic!) more places for you where you can eat delicious breakfasts!
Moment Resto
#widechoice
Breakfast at Moment is a classic from a few years ago. We thought that the time of glory of this place was long gone and because of this fact we carefully avoided Moment for a long time. However, while searching for the best breakfasts in the city, we finally ended up at Estery street and we have discovered this place again. The breakfast menu is extensive and interesting. A big advantage of this restaurant is that during the “morning indecision” everyone can find something for themselves. From a substantial English breakfast to very FIT options. At breakfast time often almost every seat is taken there – this address still has a group of faithful fans!
You will eat breakfasts here:
Every day from 9:00 till 13:00
PRO TIP: Consider the breakfast with “bundz” (Polish sheep milk cheese from Podhale) and french toast. Perfect for those who can’t decide whether to start the day sweet or savoury way!

Handelek
#openfacedsandwiches #early
A beautiful place right next to Old Kleparz, which serves open faced sandwiches with good quality rye bread. They focus on promoting regional products, such as the delicious smoked trout from Ojców. Our favorite slices are those with egg spread and Lisiecka sausage and liver pate. Menu in Handelek is constantly increasing. It is possible to order scrambled eggs and … beer for breakfast. Vegan and sweet options are available as well – what about challah with rose jam?
You will eat breakfasts here:
Monday till Friday from 6:30 till 14:00
On weekends from 8 :00 till 14:00
PRO TIP: sandwich + coffee sets are available! It saves you a few zlotys!

Massolit Cooks
#vegetarian #bagels
Known from Smolensk street, Massolit serves its famous bagels also in the middle of Kazimierz district. Additionally, you can also order porridge (sweet and savoury), a plate with bread, some spreads and vegetables, or a super bowl based on millet with seasonal fruits. We usually take scrambled eggs served with a crunchy baguette. Scrambled eggs hit the table surrounded by a variety of bread spreads, such as: stuff as amazings as tomatoes with Za’atar, onion, stewed mushrooms and hummus. And of course, a specialty coffee. The price of the set: 20 PLN. It is a very fair breakfast!
You will eat breakfasts here:
Tuesday till Friday from 10:00 to 14:00
PRO TIP: Massolit gives you the best cheesecakes and cookies! Best cure for a bad day!

Zielonym do góry
#buffet or #alacarte
A beautiful restaurant that can really surprise you in the morning. Despite the fact that we didn’t like their shakshouka (it’s already out of the menu), the pancakes taste like your grandma’s, and the breakfast sets are really remarkable. At night, we dream about the best millet we’ve ever eaten (we wonder if it’ll be back in the autumn menu?). The waiters are helpful and always smiling. There is no bustle in the room – this is one of the coolest places to be a freelancer and work outside of home. Also suitable for large groups.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Every day from 7:00 till 12:00
PRO TIP: there is also a breakfast buffet on the patio. Every day from 7:00 to 10:00 for 35 PLN you can choose „all you can eat” breakfast option.

Hummus Amamamusi
#vege #goodcoffe
Hummus Amamamusi is close to the top five. If we did top six, they would probably jump into it. Sitting at the counter and eating these breakfasts can really help you achieve bliss. As the only place where we were, they serve omelette with matzot – the legendary “matzot of Breia”. A great shakshouka and vegan set with tabbouleh is also one of breakfast’s classics. Sets full of tiny bowls and interesting accessories please the eye, and vegan cones with rose help all the pains the soul can have. Due to the size of the premises, we recommend it for a date rather than a group outing.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Monday till Friday from 9:00 till 14:00
On weekends from 10:00 to 16:00
PRO TIP: if you fancy a small thing, order a divine hummus sandwich. They also give kosher challa on Fridays.

Ka Udon Bar
#vegan #amazingcoffee
These breakfasts are unique! We have not met with similar anywhere in Poland. The idea of the sets was taken straight from Japan, where in fact miso soup with a bowl of rice is a way to dine in the morning. At Ka Udon they serve it with their own silage and first-rate tempura. A set of potato cake is a story about how American breakfast met Asian. Filter coffee in the set costs 6 PLN and is unlimited! It is worth a try!

Weekends only! from 10:00 do 12:00

Wesoła Cafe
Safe breakfast option! At the weekends you have to wait for a moment for your order so brace yourself with a little patience. The menu at Wesoła changes 4 times a year. When they tried to withdraw the bagel with turkey and double bacon there was a true riot. We like to order sets for two there. Eggs on avocado are also cool! And chia pudding with mango mousse. A lot of options for fit people: porridge, smoothie bowls, power bowls. For a cheat day: croissants and wonderful cakes.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Monday till Friday from 7:00 till 12:00
On weekends from 8 throughout the day
PRO TIP: It takes about 5 minutes to get from this place (with a suitcase) to the train station. With coffee in hand: maybe 8 minutes. Confirmed information!

Międzymiastowa
#breakfastfor1PLN #goodcoffee
We were wondering if “breakfasts for 1 PLN” can be good enough to include them to this list. A few visits in Międzymiastowa showed us that this is the only place with this option that deserves to be listed. The combinations of flavors are really cool, the breakfast burger is a winning dish and despite the price, they give great coffee. This option is very good even on the weekend when you pay normal price for breakfast, and the coffee costs 1 PLN. So it is not surprising there are queues to get in, especially on sunny days.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 12:00
On weekends from 10:00 to 13:00
PRO TIP: Start with the Bacon & Egg Roll option!

Karma
#vegetarian #specialtycoffee
In the summer we come here for a light yogurt with fruit and date syrup, sometimes we add homemade granola. On cheat day we usually order the largest pancake in the city (part of our editorial office even claims that it is the best). Karma also serves excellent bread with egg, cheddar or avo. Theirs love for butter also shows on the sandwiches and we respect them for that! It is important to remember that Karma was one of the first spots in Krakow with specialty coffee!
You will eat breakfasts here:
Monday to Friday from 8:00
On weekends from 9:00
PRO TIP: the inconspicuous scones are also worth trying – make sure to order them hot and with butter!

Kolanko
#buffet
If you do not know exactly what you want to eat in the morning- go to the Kolanko. We have a feeling that this is the most popular breakfast buffet in Krakow. You will not find premium products on it, but it is cheap and honest offer. You will find there bowls of salads, platters of cold meats, cheese and cottage cheese, roasted vegetables, yoghurts, fruits and cakes. The price includes drinks – coffee, tea and several cold options.
PRO TIP: in the middle of the place there is a patio, which is one of the most charming summer gardens in Kazimierz district.

Bagelmama
#bagels
How long has it been since our first visit there…? We have the impression that the locals have forgotten about Bagelmama, which has been operating at Dajwór Street for over a decade. This concept does not age – although the menu hardly changes from time to time. Obviously, bagels are a hit option, although there are some alternatives in the menu. Coffee is also quite good.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Everyday from 9:00 to 17:00
PRO TIP: Pure bagel to go costs only 2,50 PLN.

Cafe Lisboa
As we all know, the better is often the enemy of the good, that’s why we praise Cafe Lisboa. There are two options on the breakfast menu and … both are scrambled eggs. One classic, the other with chorizo. Nothing more. Delicious. In addition to them, they also prepare some snacks – sandwiches and cheese boards as well as cold cuts. It is nice way to welcome the day.
You will eat breakfasts here:
Monday to Friday: 8:00 till closing
On weekends: 10:00 to closing
PRO TIP: Set of pastel de nata and espresso costs only 8 PLN – it’s worth trying sometime!

Bhajan Cafe
#vegan #healthy
Don’t let the name fool you – Bhajan is not a cafe, but a large vegetarian restaurant with an interesting, 100% vegan breakfast menu inspired by the flavors of India. They also have coffee and cakes… But let us tell you about the breakfast this time! What can you have there? Chickpeas, spreads, sweet pancakes with fruit and vegan nutella. Filling and warm smoothies based on millet also! Gluten free options are available. Although Bhajan is associated with Indian cuisine, breakfasts have more in common with the Ayurvedic and European cuisine.

Everyday from 8:00 do 12:00

The breakfast menu changes every month. There is always a place in it for porridge, a set for vegans, something sweet and traditional also. One of the most instagrammable breakfasts is the San Francisco set (or in other words simply a hangover set):sausages, toast with turkey, corn, pancakes with maple syrup, fried egg and bacon. You also get an apple to go. Forum has very faithful groupies!

Krakow and Charlotte definitely have „love / hate relationship”. But “if you can’t stand it when it’s the worst, you do not deserve it when it’s the best”. Charlotte usually have great cold sandwiches and great sweets. And the climate – unique. And the glass of Beltour- always nice!

Bar mleczny Krakus
#cheap #comfortfood
We say it honestly – such pancakes as in Krakus, You won’t get some place else. And they cost up to 5.50 PLN for two items – pan fried and crispy, finished with a spoon of cream. As befits a milk bar, there are also rolls with egg paste and premium buns with ham. Scrambled eggs with butter also belong to the forefront of Krakow’s scrambled eggs.

Bistro Bene
#waffles #instagrammable
One of the few places we recommend within Main Square. You do not know this address yet? Bistro Bene has been operating for a year under the leadership of Tomasz Leśniak. Feeds very decently and starts with great breakfasts. The waffles we ate there caused us to shed tears of happiness over them – real Belgians with thick, crunchy sugar and seasonal fruits. Something amazing. They also serve very good millet, porridge and fit options.
PRO TIP: great place for people on diets! Unsweetened porridge and keto-style omelette will help you survive the day in the city

Zenit
#hugespace #vegeoptions
Last but not least. Zenit is mandatory here, after all, it is a place that often saves lives in the morning. Especially when you are looking for a decent breakfast for a larger group of people in Kazimierz district. The interior is beautiful, “big city vibe”, and the selection of breakfasts is wide. The menu changes often, that’s why we don’t recommend something in particular. On the one hand Zenit is famous for huge, fat breakfasts, and on the other – for great healthy options. We leave the choice to you!
You will eat breakfasts here:
Every day from 10:00 to 13:00
PRO TIP: sure thing in Zenit is the breakfast waffle! It has never let us down
