- When Pigs Fly
When Pigs Fly Cafe/Facebook 97 Rope Ferry Road, Waterford, CT 06385
Rhonda-Lisa K./Yelp You’ll find lots of options at this friendly establishment, including a coffee bar. Just a hop away from Harkness Memorial State Park, this is a great first stop for a day of fun.
- Cristy’s
Gerry L./Yelp 1261 Boston Post Road, Westbrook, CT 06498
Jeff B./Yelp There’s no better place to eat breakfast on the shoreline. The food here is so good that the line is out the door on weekends. But it’s worth waiting to try the delicious hash.
- The Olde American Diner
The Olde American Diner/Facebook 724 Norwich Road, Plainfield, CT 06374
Cliff P./Yelp Please note, The Olde American Diner is no longer in business. If these strawberry banana waffles have your tongue on the floor you’re not alone. Breakfast is served late and all day on Sundays so you don’t have to be an early bird to enjoy this place. But the best part is paying a small fee for a big portion.
- The Sloppy Waffle
Leonardo D./Yelp 2551 Berlin Turnpike, Newington, CT 06111
The Sloppy Waffle/Facebook This cash only mom & pop shop wasn’t kidding when they named this place. Waffles come slathered in toppings, from fruit to chocolate. There’s an ATM inside so you can still stop by on a whim and enjoy these delicious flavor bombs.
- L.B.’s Family Restaurant
L.B.’s Family Restaurant Inc./Facebook 860 Riverside Drive, North Grosvenor Dale, CT 06255
Scotty B./Yelp Fun fact: most people can’t pronounce the town this place is in. But they can at least agree the home fries are superb. You get great portions here and can enjoy the remote, small town vibes.
- O’Rourke’s Diner
Rhonda-Lisa K./Yelp 728 North Main Street, Middletown, CT 06457
Kathryn A./Yelp Banana bread french toast might just be the greatest thing ever. This small intimate diner comes with an Irish twist that patrons love. If you’re feeling adventurous, order Brian’s Breakfast- it’s a chef’s surprise and it’s different every time.
- Magee’s Curbside
Jeff K./Yelp 72 Magee Avenue, Stamford, CT 06902
Ilana T./Yelp Cage and antibiotic free, this small shop specializes in breakfast and sandwiches. If you live in the Stamford area you may have seen its food truck out and about. Stop by the main location for a mouthwatering start to your day.

The Laurel Diner/Facebook 544 Main Street South, Southbury, CT 06488
