For the most important meal of the day, be sure to try these local favorites.

If life has no meaning without first savoring a good cup of joe, head over to Uncommon Coffee Roasters in Saugatuck, Respite Cappuccino Court in Douglas, or Root Café & Coffeehouse in Fennville. For a farm-to-table breakfast bursting with fresh flavors, make a point to check out Pennyroyal Café & Provisions.

Traditional breakfast lovers will enjoy the variety available at Ida Red’s Cottage, while the more adventurous palates will appreciate the fare at Grow Café + Bistro. Grab a fresh-baked croissant or other tempting pastry at the bakery in Isabel’s Market + Eatery. And don’t pass on the opportunity to stop by Pumpernickels for their weekend brunch and Bottomless Mimosa.
