1. Carolyn's Cafe

Carolyn's Cafe is a cozy breakfast and lunch cafe notorious for its fresh-baked coffee cake (served with a colossal scoop of whipped butter). Are you drooling yet? Well, save some room for their delicious, served all-day, breakfast! And, be sure to ask about their pancake of the month.

2. The Eating Room

Is anyone really shocked that The Eating Room is so high on our list? This local favorite serves up breakfast all-day, but with a Southern twist! Their bold flavors and generous portions are what keep their patrons coming back. We highly recommend swinging by the bakery while you are there. The Swedish Oatmeal cookies, lemon bars, and fresh fruit tarts are a couple of our favorites.

McDuff's is located in the heart of downtown Redlands and is the quintessential small-town diner. You will walk in and feel instantly transported back to a much simpler time. They are widely known for their biscuits and sausage gravy - a true work of art. A few of our favorites include the breakfast burrito, eggs benedict, and french toast.

4. Breakfast Shack

Breakfast Shack is your classic country breakfast joint. The portions are definitely filling and quite a few of their menu items will surprise you. Our classic favorites include the breakfast sammy (cheese, eggs, bacon, on a biscuit), chicken fried steak, Loco Moco, and veggie omelet. Our offbeat faves are the California Benedict, which is made with a fried green tomato, and the Crab Cake Benedict.
