2. The Omelette Factory
This year, the Omelette Factory is celebrating over 40 years of business. As a staple in Ogunquit, you will want to take time to eat breakfast here.
Where shall we start on their delicious menu? The Omelette Factory is known for eggs, but their morning options are expansive, and you’ll have difficulty deciding what to choose.
A few favorites are their blueberry muffins, french toast, pancakes topped with blueberries, and Belgian waffles. In addition, you can order eggs or omelets made with fresh ingredients if you want eggs.
Lastly, you can order food to go. So if you are sleeping in and aren’t ready to get out for the day, place an order and pick it up quickly. If you are traveling with a large group, this would also be a great way to experience their famous omelets.

If I were checking out their menu, I would lean towards a breakfast sandwich, chicken & waffles, or a Belgian waffle topped with fresh fruit. First, however, check their menu, as they regularly add new specials.

In the middle of the winter, they typically close for the season. So, again, check their website, but it is usually from November to mid-February.
After a delicious meal, consider hopping in the car to spend a day exploring nearby Kennebunkport.

Nestled in Perkins Cove, Cove Cafe is a charming blue-and-white breakfast eatery.

Cove Cafe offers traditional fare and crab cakes, eggs benedict, french toast, and waffles. One incredible perk of this restaurant is its unique twist on lobster. For instance, you can order lobster in a frittata, omelet, or eggs benedict. This is perfect for a great breakfast in Perkins Cove, Maine.
Some side notes to consider- they are closed Monday & Tuesday. In addition, they are open seasonally, so check their website if visiting in the winter.

Known for having one of the best breakfast sandwiches, Village Food Market is a local grocery store that offers take-out items. Besides sandwiches, you can order eggs, french toast, oatmeal, avocado toast, and omelets.
You can order ahead and pick it up to take with you for the day. This is great for travelers with a busy day who don’t want to waste time at a sit-down restaurant.
7. Congdon’s Doughnuts

Known as Maine’s favorite donut and family-owned, Congdon’s Doughnuts is worth visiting in Ogunquit. It is technically not in Ogunquit but in Wells, Maine, but still worth making the list as it is only 9 minutes north.
You can order single donuts, donut holes, a box of half a dozen, or a baker’s dozen. You can order other pastries and whoopie pies. Order a breakfast sandwich, burrito, or bowl if you want something with more substance.
Condgon’s offers donut decorating kits which would be a blast if traveling with little kids. It is essential to point out that they offer gluten-free donuts too.
Lastly, it is only open Thursday-Monday and they sell out quickly. Plan accordingly if you love donuts like my family does. When I travel with my kids, I always try to build in a stop for local donuts.
8. Horizons Family Restaurant
Horizons Family Restaurant is also in Wells, Maine, a short drive north. To demonstrate, Horizons has consistently won TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence award many times.
Their menu pairs eggs with many options. You could order eggs with ham, sausage, or corned beef hash. Or you can settle for a breakfast sandwich.

The “Dieter’s Delight” section is a nice perk of the menu, where you can find several low-carb options, such as egg beaters with turkey sausage. It is the perfect place for a traveler to watch their calorie intake.
If you don’t have time for a sit-down meal, you can order ahead and pick up take-out. This is an excellent option for visitors with a busy day of exploring.
Like many small family-owned restaurants, Horizons closes for the winter, so check their website for hours. Typically they are open from March-December.

Breakfast at Surfpoint is offered seven days a week from 7 am- 11 am. You can choose from various pancakes, egg dishes, and French toast.
This menu allows guests to order singleton items. I find this to be perfect when traveling with little kids especially if they are picky.
I love savory and sweet breakfast, but it is usually one or the other. Here, I could order a single pancake and pair it with protein for a filling breakfast. I recommend stopping at this beautiful place for breakfast.
