Best Breakfast and Pancake Spots in Dartmouth

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day as it boosts your energy levels and alertness, whilst also providing other essential nutrients. Fortunately, Dartmouth is not short of places to grab a hearty filling, brekkie or a quick bite to set you up for the day. As pancake day is also just around the corner, you might be looking for somewhere to tuck into some yummy pancakes, so we’ve collated our favourite breakfast stops! 

Café Alf Fresco 

With an emphasis on providing a relaxed environment and serving up local and freshly prepared food and drink, Café Alf Fresco is a great place to stop and grab breakfast. They can offer a generous full English breakfast with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice to wash it down or if you fancy something sweeter, why not try their cinnamon toast, or choose from their selection of locally-made cakes and pastries.
