Where To Find The Best Breakfast in Krakow
They do say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day… and we’ll show you exactly where to score the best breakfast in Krakow. Whether you’re looking for a croissant and coffee, or a hearty fry-up, we’ve got some awesome recommendations for you.
The Best Breakfasts in Krakow Old Town
Bunkier is situated right on the Planty – the gorgeous green leafy park encircling Kraków’s medieval Old Town. During summer, the cafe is completely open-plan. This makes Bunkier Cafe a great option for breakfast al fresco. On the menu are eggs Benedict, eggs Florentine, Royal eggs, a range of local bagels, croissants, continental-style breakfasts, and a regional cheese board. Even more good news – all of these dishes are £5 or less! This is a top place for any picky eater for breakfast in Krakow. They’ve got a really good selection available.
Charlotte is a French-style bakery on plac Sczczepański square, just around the corner from Bunkier. It gets busy but that’s because of their delicious freshly baked bread, pastries, delicious jams and home-made chocolate spreads. Savoury options include a whole range of tasty sandwiches made using fresh ingredients. That’s not to mention the glass of sparkling wine you can get with the breakfast set! The only down side to this spot is that service is always a bit on the slow side – even if the cafe is totally empty.

The one and only place in the entire city to get a quality Irish/English breakfast – perfect if you’ve had a long night on the vodka. Milkbar Tomasza is so much more than that though.
It’s a modern take on Poland’s famous Communist-era milk bars, restaurants traditionally famous for super cheap local dishes. Taking the milk bar vibe but increasing the quality and expanding the menu to also include foreign options (besides tons of local options) has made it one of the most popular breakfast/brunch joints in town. It’s not as crazy cheap as the other Milk Bars in the city but it is top-notch value.
The Best Breakfasts in Krakow’s District of Kazimierz
A cosy spot just around the corner from Plac Nowy with a great summer garden. You can choose from Polish, French, English and vegan breakfasts, each served with complimentary tea or coffee.
Founded in a renovated synagogue, the interior of Hevre makes for an interesting venue. Avocado salad, eggs Benedict, oat pancakes and fancy scrambled eggs are all on the menu. Their house breakfast is very tasty with local sausage, bacon, eggs, beans with mustard seeds, grilled tomatoes, and fresh bread.
Make Hummus, Not War
Hamsa is located in a beautiful brick building resting between Miodowa street and the Jewish district’s famous Szeroka square. The Szeroka side has outdoor tables with a view of the square, it’s a great spot on a sunny morning.
On the menu, you’ll find a range of Israeli breakfasts – shakshouka, delicious hummus options, and other dishes including their home-made bread. They have vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and milk free options. It’s not cheap, but it is a delicious breakfast in Krakow.
Top tip: On Saturday and Sunday mornings they do an all you can eat breakfast buffet for 25zł!
A miniature breakfast cafe, tucked away on one of Kazimierz’s side-streets, with delicious vegetarian and vegan food. Their menu includes breakfast pancakes, shakshouka, home-made muesli, and much more. If you’re really hungry, try their “Hearty Breakfast.”
