Where to Grab an Appetizing Breakfast When You’re in Cebu

Fill your heart and stomach in the breakfast restaurants in Cebu.

When looking for things to do in Cebu, eating is generally one of them. Thankfully, Cebu has no shortage of options when it comes to dining, and there are different options for different types of dining. Eating out with the family is one, and there are a lot of family restaurants in Cebu. Fast food places are particularly great for this because they serve food that children generally love. But there are more than a few restaurants in Cebu that are great for people of all ages who love breakfast food any time of the day.

Some of the best breakfast restaurants in Cebu are extremely accessible to anyone who’s looking for a good meal. In this list are the ones that can easily be reached by public transport. If you are wondering where to go in Cebu for an early bite, you should check out these spots:

Birdseed Breakfast Club + Cafe

One of these restaurants is Birdseed Breakfast Club + Cafe. The restaurant is located across the street from a church and just down the road from the Cebu Provincial Capitol. In fact, the entire general area is colloquially known as the Capitol Area because Cebu province’s capitol building is right there.

The great thing about this restaurant is the menu. There’s a wide variety of options for all kinds of eaters, and the portions are pretty generous.

Of course, Birdseed is a breakfast club, so breakfast is always on the menu, even when it is late at night. The pancakes there are perfectly thick and fluffy and are served with a dollop of cream and a generous helping of maple syrup. Bacon, sausages, and other breakfast staples like waffles are also available. Birdseed is one of the restaurants with the best pancakes in Cebu. Their chicken parmesan is also fantastic—two large fried chicken fillets drizzled in tomato sauce and served with a side of tomato-infused rice.

The Pancake House

Cebu has more options for those craving breakfast food. In fact, there’s one particular chain that has some degree of prevalence in the Philippines, with branches available in major malls. That chain is the Pancake House.

As the name implies, the Pancake House specializes in pancakes, and these pancakes come in a variety, from plain to chocolate-chip pancakes. So anyone looking for breakfast food like bacon, sausages, eggs, pancakes, or waffles at any time of day would be well-served heading to one of many Pancake House branches and satiating their cravings.

The restaurant is open past breakfast, and breakfast foods are not the only thing on the menu. Pancake House is not just a place to get breakfast; it is a place to get all kinds of meals. There’s a litany of dishes available, like fried chicken, steak, and roast beef, which is great for anyone who wants something a little unusual to start their day.

Bo’s Coffee

There are a lot of times during the day when it is appropriate to drink coffee, none more so than breakfast. The Philippines may not be known for its coffee culture like some other countries are, but it is not lacking when it comes to caffeinated goodness in a cup.

Bo’s Coffee is a chain of coffee shops that’s pretty popular in the Philippines. Its location is usually close to hotels and resorts. Like other coffee shops, their wares are not limited simply to coffee. There’s a wide variety of cakes and cookies available to pair.

Beyond the sweets, there’s also a variety of sandwiches and turnovers, savory food that a person can eat in order to get a satisfying start to their day.

If coffee is not to a person’s fancy, there’s also a bevy of caffeine-free drinks available, like shakes, for those that want a sweet treat to start, or end, their day.

Breakfast is an important meal. In fact, all meals are important because people need to eat, but people place a special importance on breakfast. For some people, breakfast can be a portent for the rest of the day. A good breakfast can lead to a good day. A bad one can set the tone for the rest of the day, and misery could follow.

There are plenty of restaurants in Cebu City to have a good breakfast in, and a lot of good menu options for anyone who is looking to break their fast. So anyone who wants to start their day with some good food is going to be spoiled for choice. Thanks to the restaurants in Cebu that cater to the most important meal of the day.
