Wondering where to eat breakfast in Twin Falls? If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then the a.m. hours are prime time to explore Twin Falls. Kick-start your Magic Valley adventure with this curated collection of coffee shops and breakfast spots, guaranteed to start your day right. 

1. Full Steam Espresso: Fuel Your Morning with Coffee and Treats

Sprint into the day with Full Steam Espresso in Twin Falls. With locations at the 2nd South Market food hall and along Filer Avenue, customers can enjoy classic espresso drinks, creative coffee concoctions and infused energy drinks as well as smoothies and Italian sodas. Don’t miss its great selection of baked breakfast goods either. 

2. Moxie Java: Start Your Day with a Moxaccino

The Twin Falls outpost of Moxie Java is one of nine locations of this homegrown chain in the Gem State (other stores can be found in North Dakota and, improbably, South Carolina). Its signature drink is the “Moxaccino,” a decadent blend of coffee and ice cream whipped to a milkshake consistency. 

3. Petite Creperie & Café: Sweet and Savory Crepes

Satisfy your sweet and savory side at the Petite Creperie & Café, located at the 2nd South Market in Twin Falls. While they serve a wide variety of delicious pastries, their namesake crepes are a must try. Lovers of sweet treats will devour the What-a-nut (strawberries, Nutella, maple syrup and homemade whip) while savory connoisseurs will love The Alyssa (gouda cheese, spinach, tomatoes and bacon).

4. The Depot Grill: Dive into the Day

The Depot Grill, a Twin Falls institution, has been serving classic American diner food to travelers passing through the city by train as well as to hungry locals. An expansive breakfast menu (served all day!) boasts omelets, biscuits and gravy, stacks of pancakes, and bacon and eggs in an establishment where the retro vibe reigns. It’s also a great spot for lunch and dinner (and homemade pies!). 

5. Abracadabra’s: Where Breakfast Cereal Dreams Come True

The real magic of Abracadabra’s is that it’s managed to make kids’ breakfast cereal a real treat for grown-ups. Check out the eatery’s Captain Crunch French toast: two slices of cereal-encrusted French toast that’s then topped with syrup, bananas and whipped cream. If nothing else, the sugar rush will power you through until lunchtime. 

6. Twin Beans Coffee Co.: Classic Coffee and Delicious Bites

Twin Beans Coffee Co. boasts ethically sourced beans roasted in-house, which folks who enjoy their morning caffeine at home can purchase. But it’s worth a visit to the cute shop to take advantage of its cafe menu — bagel sandwiches, sweet and savory crepes, salads and full-on breakfast platters accompany the joe in stylish surroundings. 

7. Idaho Joes: A Hometown Diner with a Hearty Buffet

Another venerable Twin Falls diner, Idaho Joe’s offers everything you’d expect from an old-school spot: servers quick to top off coffee mugs, huge breakfast combos and a bakery case stocked with luscious-looking pies. It also puts on an expansive breakfast buffet on Saturdays and Sundays that’s a can’t miss spread for early birds across the Magic Valley. 

8. Milner’s Gate: Brewery Brunch with a Twist

Milner’s Gate craft brewery may not be the obvious spot to grab the first meal of the day, but the brewpub’s Sunday brunch is not to be missed. Indulge in hearty entrees like chicken fried chicken, huevos rancheros or a brie and fig burger — all washed down by a mimosa flight or Bloody Mary.
