![Best Breakfast in Tulum: 16 Spots You’ll Love [2023 Guide]](https://insiderstulum.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/best-tulum-breakfast-240x320.jpg)
Tulum is a foodie paradise with over 100 restaurants in this small coastal town. We’ve had the pleasure of trying almost all of them, and we certainly have our favorite breakfast spots.
From breezy beachfront cafes serving fresh, local fruits and acai bowls to bustling downtown hotspots known for their authentic huevos rancheros, Tulum has many great breakfast options.
Here’s a look at just a few of our favorites. We’ll be sure to update this list as we try new places!
Tulum Breakast Spots
Tulum is divided into two main sections, Tulum Town and Tulum Beach. Most of the restaurants in Tulum tend to be clustered in these two areas, and they both have fantastic breakfast spots!
Downtown Tulum, also known as Tulum Town or Tulum Pueblo, is the beating heart of the city where most locals live. We love having breakfast downtown because it has a more local feel, and you’ll find some of the best authentic Mexican dishes like huevos rancheros and chilaquiles.
It’s also very affordable. You can get a traditional hot breakfast with coffee and juice for as little as $7 per person.
Tulum Beach, also known as the hotel zone, is more of a tourist area. Here, you’ll find the beautiful white sand beaches and turquoise waters Tulum is known for.
While Tulum Beach is full of great beachfront breakfast places, like all tourist areas, be prepared for higher prices than you’ll find in the city. We love eating here when we want to splurge on a Sunday brunch or grab a fresh morning smoothie and walk on the beach.
Here are some of the best breakfast restaurants in Tulum Beach and Downtown Tulum.
Best Breakfast Tulum Beach
1. Ziggy’s
With beachy, bohemian vibes and fresh, locally-sourced food, Ziggy’s serves up some of the best breakfast and even better views right on Tulum Beach.
From fresh juices, smoothies, and acai bowls to rich banana pancakes and Ziggy’s signature breakfast omelets and enchiladas, there’s something for everyone on the menu (including vegan and gluten-free options).
Ziggy’s is also one of the top-rated beach clubs in Tulum. Suppose you’re looking for something to do after breakfast. In that case, we highly recommend grabbing a cocktail at their beachside bar or soaking up some sun on one of their beach beds (with a minimum purchase).
2. Raw Love Beach
With superfood smoothies, organic fresh squeezed juices, and gourmet avocado toast, you’ll find nothing but good vibes at Raw Love Beach.
This down-to-earth beachside cafe is tucked away in a jungle-like atmosphere filled with tropical plants, gorgeous living artworks, and toes-in-the-sand tables.
Everything on the menu at Raw Love Beach is made from scratch with nourishing plant foods meant to promote wellness. You can feel the energy when you walk into this place, and whether you’re plant-based or not, breakfast at Raw Love Beach is a must-try!
3. Cinco Tulum
Featuring tropical vibes and fresh eats, Cinco Tulum serves unique breakfast specialties right on the beach.
Some of their foodie favorites include dishes like tropical pancakes, breakfast chilaquiles, and an array of egg specialties.
They are also renowned for their housemade sorbet in over a dozen flavors (including vegan options). Think breakfast is too early for sorbet? Don’t worry. They’ll top your pancakes with it for one of the most delicious combinations on their menu!
4. Fresco’s Tulum
Another beachside gem, Fresco’s Kitchen, has a vibrant atmosphere, colorful decor, and a diverse menu of delicious dishes.
From healthy fresh fruit bowls and smoothies to decadent pancakes, omelets, and chilaquiles, Fresco’s Kitchen has a menu for all tastes (including vegan and gluten-free options).
The walnut chia pudding is a must-try! This unique dish is made with chia seeds soaked in walnut milk with praline, and banana layered beautifully in a glass jar that is as pretty as it is tasty.
5. Sanara Kitchen (previously named Real Coconut Kitchen)
Sanara Kitchen has a laid-back, beachy vibe. It offers indoor and outdoor seating (we recommended outdoor seating for stunning seaside views).
While their menu has many omnivore options like breakfast burritos and omelets, they are also well-known for their unique plant-based “egg” dishes. Vegans rejoice! You can enjoy a variety of options made with their signature plant-based eggs, from omelets and breakfast sandwiches to French toast.
Sanara Kitchen is also famous for its fresh baked goods. Favorites include their cinnamon rolls and chocolate brioche. Unfortunately, they tend to sell out, so get there early to snag some!
6. Los Bowls de Guadalupe
A quaint beachside cafe serving good food and good vibes, Los Bowls de Guadalupe is the perfect place to grab a laid-back breakfast along the beach.
They have a healthy, plant-based menu of fruit bowls, smoothies, fresh juices, and some more indulgent egg dishes and avocado toasts.
Los Bowls de Guadalupe is a counter service perfect for a quick and cheap breakfast before a day of exploring Tulum. They also have a full coffee bar with various espresso drinks, matcha, and taro lattes.
7. Casa Maria Mexican Grill
Another beautiful beachside retreat, Casa Maria Mexican Grill, has a large open-air dining area overlooking the beach. They have an artfully curated menu with options for everyone, including vegan and gluten-free.
Some foodie favorites on their menu include the colorful beetroot hummus avocado toast and the rich and spicy eggs ranchero. For a splurge, the ice-cream-topped French toast is an absolute must-try!
8. Mivida
Renowned for its charming beachfront terrace and arguably the best crepes in Tulum, Mivida is another restaurant for the must-visit list.
Off the beaten path, Mivida is tucked away and typically doesn’t get as crowded as some other restaurants on Tulum Beach, which adds to the relaxed vibe.
While Mivida has a standard breakfast menu of fruit bowls, pancakes, egg dishes, and some Mexican specialties, the crepes are the most raved-about dish. You can order their signature banana and Nutella crepes as a breakfast dish or a dessert. Either way, they are a must-try!
9. Yuuy (previously named Restaurante Las Estrellas)
A hidden gem tucked away in the La Luna hotel. Yuuy offers gorgeous ocean views and a menu with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Fresh fruits, avocado toasts, pastries, and authentic Mexican favorites like chilaquiles are all on the menu at Yuuy. They also cater to vegan and gluten-free guests.
You can dine inside Yuuy’s unique, brightly colored Moroccan-themed dining room or on its tropical beachside patio. Either way, Yuuy serves up eclectic vibes and plenty of insta-worthy backdrops.

Burgerito has many vegan options and a full menu of coffee drinks, fresh pressed juices, and smoothies. Smoothie lovers can’t leave without trying their signature, Fat Monkey, made with fresh coconut milk and peanut butter.

A jungle oasis with tropical plants, comfy bean bag chairs, and a rustic wood-burning oven, La Hydra by Gigi boasts a unique breakfast menu unlike anywhere else in Tulum.

La Hydra by Gigi offers a breezy, relaxed vibe with unique eats in an off-the-beaten-path location that doesn’t get overwhelmingly busy. After breakfast, hang out in one of their cozy hammocks while sipping on some iced coffee for the most relaxing way to start your day!
7. El Rincon Del Jaguar
With gorgeous pueblo-style architecture and a colorful, artsy vibe, El Rincon Del Jaguar serves authentic local cuisine away from the hustle and bustle of the main street.
