Three Spartanburg Breakfast Spots We Love

By Danielle Grimstead, Publisher Macaroni Kid Spartanburg January 19, 2022

My daughter and my husband love to go out to breakfast in Spartanburg on a weekend morning. I can't say I often tell them no. 

After all, what’s not to love about breakfast? No matter what kind of breakfast you’re in the mood for -- the sweet or the savory -- you can find it in Spartanburg, SC.

Plus … breakfast has bacon!

And don’t even get me started on Mimosas!

Hungry for breakfast in Spartanburg yet? 

I am! So I've rounded up my family's choices for the top three breakfast spots in the Spartanburg area, along with the reasons that my family loves them. I've listed them in personal preference.

#1 Hands Down Favorite - Mon Amie Morning Cafe!!!

2601 E Main Street, Spartanburg, SC 29307 (864) 541-7981 www.monamiemorningcafe.com

Hours: Sunday 8:00am - 3:00pm, Closed Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday thru Saturday 2:00am - 2:00pm

What we love: For starters, we LOVE the people. From the hostess when you first walk in to the busboy that clears your table when you finish, everyone is so extremely friendly and personable. The menu is French and the food is absolutely exceptional! If you are lucky and able to sit at the bar area, you get to watch the cooks create authentic crepes right before your eyes. With a pick-up window, puppy-friendly patio seating and rental space for after hour private parties, Mon Amie is 2nd to none and say they like to bring a little je ne said quod to their corner of Spartanburg.

Papa's Breakfast Nook

191 E St John Street Spartanburg, SC 29306 (864) 582-6655 www.papasbreakfastnook.com

Hours: Tuesday through Saturday Open 24 hours, Sunday 12am - 10pm, Monday 7am - 10pm

What we love: For starters, it is open 24 hours!! But the food is SOOOOOOO good. It's that good ole southern breakfast straight from Granny's kitchen. The sweet tea is sweetened to perfection and the pancakes have the crisp edges and fluffy center that we all enjoy. 

The Skillet Restaurant

435 E Main Street Unit 1 Spartanburg, SC 29302 (864) 342-9978 www.theskilletspartanburg.com

Hours: Sunday 8am - 2pm, Monday through Saturday 6am - 2pm

What we love: The Skillet is such a quaint and charming diner offering great food and impeccable service. It's the true definition of Southern Hospitality. It's a small space and it tends to get pretty crowded but that's because it is literally one of Spartanburg's best kept secrets. Oh! And they serve a KILLER cup of coffee! 


Hungry yet? Me too. Time for breakfast.
