Best Breakfast & Brunch on Perdido Key & Orange Beach

Breakfast on the coast is an underrated pleasure — early light, quiet beach, and a plate of something you didn't have to cook. These are the breakfast and brunch spots we have records for.

1. 1
   Bahama Bob's Beach Side Cafe $$ · Orange Beach (AL)

   Gulf Shores institution just over the Orange Beach line. Beach-shack vibe, real Gulf seafood, the kind of place locals defend hard.

2. 2
   Brick & Spoon Orange Beach (AL)

   The build-your-own bloody mary brunch on Canal Rd — mornings only, and worth setting an alarm on vacation for.

3. 3
   BuzzCatz Coffee & Sweets $ · Orange Beach (AL)

   Orange Beach's homegrown coffee shop and scratch bakery — the cinnamon rolls are the argument.

4. 4
   City Donut $ · Orange Beach (AL)

   USA Today readers' #1 donut shop in America, 2024 — and it's in a strip mall on Perdido Beach Blvd.

5. 5
   Coastal $$ · Orange Beach (AL)

   Beachfront, open-air, and running from breakfast to live music after dark. Gulf seafood, tropical drinks, and a beach bar that doesn't pretend to be anything fancier.

6. 6
   Crazy Horse Cafe $ · Perdido Key (FL)

   Home-style diner a mile east of the Lillian bridge where the pies are homemade and the mullet is fried.

7. 7
   Hippie Bean Cafe Perdido Key (FL)

   Locally owned coffee-and-acai stop on Sorrento — the caffeine checkpoint on the way to the Key.

8. 8
   Perdido Key Breakfast Club Perdido Key (FL)

   The Key's omelette-and-benedict headquarters, tucked in the back of Villagio.

9. 9
   Tacky Jack's Orange Beach $ · Orange Beach (AL)

   Alabama institution. Breakfast all day. Live music. The locals' answer to 'where do we go that isn't trying to be anything.'
