Where to Eat Breakfast in Kraków

share

Kraków has been undergoing a massive sea change in its attitude towards breakfast, which we've watched evolve over the last 20 years from instant coffee and a cigarette at home, to unfiltered coffee, cold cuts and cheese in those few dining establishments open before 12:00, to today when elaborate all-day breakfast menus and morning cocktails in trendy bruncheries are a cherished lifestyle ritual for local urbanites. For some the very direction of the day can depend on the ability to eat a good breakfast (and document every detail), so we’ve highlighted our favourite spots that specialise in śniadania (the Polish word for breakfast), both for early birds and also for those that won’t eat their first meal until the afternoon. Skip the hotel buffet and get a real taste of Kraków in the breakfast/brunch places below.
