Cups of cutting chai, bhaturas swabbing spicy cholas, or butter melting on hot parathas– the breakfast culture in Delhi is one to get behind. From tempting aromas, flavours, and plates of colourful spreads, we bring you a curated list of the best breakfast places in Delhi. Whether you are looking for a North Indian breakfast or stacks of crunchy waffles drizzled in syrup, we have got you covered.
1. Melt House India
Boasting a chic European decor, Melt House does a wonderful job presenting breakfast spreads from fluffy pancakes, refreshing OJs, and truffle toasts, to hearty bowls. The spot imitates a 90s diner with checkered tiles, old chandeliers, and walls saturated with Shakesperean posters. We’d recommend the mixberry cheesecake pancake, the truffle mushroom toast, and a glass of cold pressed orange juice.
📍 M Block, part II, Greater Kailash
2. Cafe Tesu
Artisanal coffees and tea blends detailed throughout their four-page beverages menu alongside their all-day breakfast make it a beloved spot. The white-washed walls offer just the tinge of calmness as you sit ordering their English breakfast platter. Try their smoked salmon layered with arugula and cream cheese and you won’t be disappointed. However, we must mention that the prices run a little steep here.
📍 Vijay Mandal Enclave, Kalu Sarai
3. Blanca
A visit here calls for ordering the delicious Tiramisu croissants! If you love to indulge in sweet treats for breakfast, we recommend the same along with mini pancakes. From salads, smoothie bowls, and hot honey chicken waffles to biscoff lattes, a seat in this cafe that exudes a coastal charm is well worth a trip.
📍Regency One, Chattarpur
4. AMA Cafe
With a generous breakfast menu, AMA Cafe does delicious platters from classic English breakfast and Himalayan breakfast to Old Manali Breakfast with seasoned potato patties.
