Best Breakfast Places Around UCF

If you’re like me, you can’t start your day without your morning iced coffee and a breakfast bagel. There are only a few places you deem worthy for this, and so you end up going to the same place over and over again. Well here are some breakfast places around UCF that you could head to when you want to switch it up, or get your morning started.

1.      IHOP. Here’s a traditional favorite. If you have time to sit down and eat, IHOP pancakes are worth the wait. Located on University, close to campus. There is also another one in Oviedo right before Michell Hammock, type in 32826.

2.      UCF's Marketplace. If you’re on campus waiting for a class or just finishing an early morning class, the UCF Marketplace is ideal. You could either get a meal package or pay daily. This place has a buffet of whatever breakfast foods you’re into, and the best part is the omelet station stays up all day.

3.      B2 Cafe. Located on Alafaya, in the BP plaza across from campus, this place is very original. Think bagel topped with cream cheese, topped with cheese, ham, and tomato. Sounds crazy, but it’s delicious.

4.       Keke's Breakfast Cafe.  Want to sit down and have a gourmet breakfast? Keke’s Breakfast Café is the place to go. There breakfast is high class and very delectable, although it might hurt the wallet a little.

5.       Student Union. The student union is packed with breakfast places for those students with early morning classes. From Mrs. Fields, to Subway, to Burger King, and others, that serve a full breakfast until 10:30, there’s no way to go hungry here, there’s something for everyone.

6.       Smoothie King. This is great if you want a light, yet healthy breakfast quick. Smoothie King is both on campus and across from campus, with not only smoothies but also organic breads, chips, and protein bars. Great for anyone about to head to the gym.

7.       Einstein Bros Bagels.  On campus, this little delight is hidden in the engineering building. Once you find it, there breakfast is great, serving bagel sandwiches, yogurt, and other healthy options. Decently priced.

8.       Dunkin Donuts. So this is the type of place you get stuck going to everyday because their iced coffee is too delicious. Especially when there are coupons in the mail for free donuts. Although, be careful, it could get fattening real fast and turn that freshman 5 into a freshman 15.

9.       McDonalds. Quick and right across campus, this is a perfect way to start your morning. Also one of the cheaper breakfast places, just don’t make it a daily thing, switch it up.

10.   Starbucks. I wouldn’t recommend this if you want your full eggs and bacon breakfast, but if you’re on the run and just want a coffee and snack or sandwich, it could work out for you. Be careful though, the price tag can rack up fast.
