Breakfast & Brunch
Fuel up before the boat, the reef or the beach! Here are our favorite breakfast and brunch spots in the Upper Keys, listed north to south by mile marker. Most open early and close by mid-afternoon, so don't sleep in too long.
🌴 Heads up: lots of Keys spots close or cut back their hours for a few weeks in the off-season (usually September and October), so give them a quick call before you go.
