Places for Family Breakfast in Lake Nona

Here are 7 places we recommend for a great family breakfast in Lake Nona.

Canvas

Canvas, buried in the center of Lake Nona’s Laureate Park neighborhood, sits on a lake and offers great views. With delicious smoothies, pastries, and breakfast dishes, you can’t go wrong no matter what you pick. While you can take your order to go, we recommend getting a seat by a window, or sitting outside near the Glass House, one of Lake Nona’s iconic art installations.

First Watch is a well-known chain with seasonal items like pumpkin pancakes, and new takes on traditional options, like the BLT benedict. With both indoor and outdoor seating, this popular breakfast and lunch spot is always a hit with the locals. This restaurant chain has locations across central Florida.

Keke’s Breakfast Cafe

Keke’s Breakfast Cafe is a popular breakfast spot with pancakes, waffles, and egg dishes. Try the Florida Waffle, which features strawberries, blueberries, and bananas on the waffle, topped with powdered sugar. With diner-style seating in booths, this is a great place to go for a Sunday breakfast with the family, or a weekday breakfast meeting with coworkers or clients. Keke’s also has restaurants throughout Orlando.

Location: 9723 Eagle Creek Center Blvd, Orlando, FL 32832

407 Cafe

407 Cafe is an all-day hot-spot with croissants, waffles, crepes, and bagels (as well as paninis and gelato for later in the day). Try the apple pie crepe for something a little sweeter, or a bagel sandwich for a classic breakfast. There are also several savory crepes and paninis that make a good breakfast option, such as the smoked salmon crepe. This restaurant has another full restaurant in Oviedo and a gelato store in Maitland.

Location: 9161 Narcoossee Rd Suite 108, Orlando, FL 32827

Sweet Mama’s

Sweet Mama’s is a long-time Lake Nona favorite. Known for its delicious omelets and its great variety, this locally-owned breakfast place is where you’ll find many Lake Nona celebrities. Try the philly cheese steak omelet, or the corned beef hash benedict. Be warned, Sweet Mama’s is known for its close quarters – that’s part of its charm – and there may be a wait on weekends.

Vanessa’s Coffee Shop

Vanessa’s Coffee Shop is one of the newest breakfast places in Lake Nona, and comes after her success with the same restaurant in St. Cloud. This immediately-popular restaurant features delicious breakfast sandwiches, coffee drinks, and many other options. Try the Mallorca breakfast sandwich, which includes bread covered in powdered sugar, with a chai latte.
