Alba’s Kitchen
138 Tinker St
Serving fresh, authentic food, Alba’s is a delicious stop in Woodstock. For a little indulgence, the strawberry French toast is a must, and the grilled croissant is topped with fresh strawberries and powdered sugar. On the savory side, the tofu scramble with veggies or the Alba’s benedict, served with hollandaise sauce and home fries, are the perfect bites.
Bread Alone Bakery
22 Mill Hill Rd
This popular bakery is a hotspot for all sorts of breakfast goodies. Order a latte, chai, or other iced or warm beverage to start off the day. To kickstart the morning, the breakfast burrito, spicy green egg sandwich (served on a wood-fired baguette), and bagels are filling options. For a lighter bite, ricotta toast, tuna and white bean toast, or one of the grab-and-go options (overnight oats or granola and yogurt) are absolutely delicious. The pastries at Bread Alone make a visit here worth it all on their own, so don’t leave without snagging a pumpkin muffin, pecan sticky bun, or lemon currant scone. And, of course, order a loaf (or two) of focaccia, boule, or whole wheat on the way out.
Allison’s Restaurant
51 Tinker St
Hearty egg dishes galore fill the breakfast menu, with options like eggs Benedict, egg cups, and two-egg omelets. Nutella pancakes and French toast are ideal for those looking for something on the sweet side. Also on the menu are breakfast sandwiches, wraps, and lighter plates such as avocado toast.
Caffe
83 Mill Hill Rd
Caffe is a must-stop for Italian coffee, with familiar favorites such as iced coffees, cold brew, cappuccinos, Americanos, macchiatos, and espressos lining the beverage menu. The donuts are scrumptious, with flavor offerings including vanilla cream, Nutella, coffee, and jelly. Meanwhile, the blueberry muffin and chocolate croissant are must-tries for anyone who leans toward pastries to start the day. Quiche, brioche sandwiches, and a turkey BLT wrap are also on the menu.
Moonrise Bagels

Bagel lovers adore this unique Woodstock hotspot, and for good reason. For something quick and delicious, check out Moonrise Bagels for a variety of hand-rolled bagels that are boiled and baked fresh every day, then stuffed with satisfying flavors. Choose between the bacon, egg, and cheese; egg and cheese; sausage, egg, and cheese; or plant-based sausage, egg, and cheese. Unstuffed bagels are available as well, with classic spreads ready to jazz them up.
Nana’s Take Out Café + Sweetery
98 Mill Hill Rd
For those on the go seeking a casual bite, check out this popular takeout spot for breakfast options all day. Grab a quick bagel with the fixings, an egg sandwich, blueberry banana oatmeal, or a quinoa bowl with flavors of vanilla and brown sugar.

Oriole 9
17 Tinker St
The breakfast menu delights with both unique and traditional offerings. Order the stuffed tater tots to share, and be ready to roll your eyes in delight over any of the delicious flavor combinations on offer (bacon, cheddar, and chives; jalapeno, cheddar, and bacon; or vegetarian cheddar and chives). For true a.m. classics, the brioche French toast, egg sandwich, shrimp and grits, and goat cheese omelet are bound to hit the spot. Pair an entrée with a sweet cinnamon bun or danish to end the meal right.
Pearl Moon
52 Mill Hill Rd
With breakfast served until 4 p.m., Pearl Moon is the perfect spot to satisfy those morning meal cravings. To start, order a mimosa or, if the weather is chilly, go for a hot toddy. On the food front, it’s always a good move to try one of the specials or the chili and eggs (featuring grass-fed beef brisket chili). For something classic, the omelet and egg dishes are showstoppers and can be substituted with egg whites or vegan tofu egg scramble. The bagel and lox and corned beef hash are heartier offerings that will delight ravenous appetites. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options and substitutions are available.
Bonus: Brunch

For those who prefer to sleep in or are looking for a brunch spot with friends, Shelter’s weekend brunch is an experience not to be missed.
