Breakfast in Boca Raton isn’t just a meal — it’s a whole thing. It’s part of the rhythm of living or visiting Boca Raton. Some people grab something quick before heading to the beach. Others linger over brunch along Federal or Mizner. And when you cross the city line into Delray, the morning scene stays just as strong.
If you’re looking for good food, reliable service, and places locals return to again and again, this guide is a solid starting point.
Key Things To Know
Hours
When is brunch, anyways?
Most of these spots are open daily or at least on weekends. Hours can shift seasonally, so check each restaurant’s website or Google listing before heading out.
Parking
Depending on where you end up, parking in Boca Raton can be easier than Delray Beach. Not always. Mizner Park garages are usually your safest bet for the downtown cluster. Atlantic Avenue gets tight on weekends; Delray Beach’s paid lots fill quickly by mid-morning. Valet is available at many spots, including Mizner.
