Scrambled or fried? Crispy or slightly burnt? No matter how you like your eggs and bacon, there’s no denying that breakfast is the most important (and delicious) meal of the day. There’s also no denying that Farmville knows how to do breakfast right.
We’ve gathered the best breakfasts in town and few over easy reasons why we love them. Do you see your favorite morning grub stop on the list?
Walker’s Diner
Walker’s Diner is a Farmville tradition. From breakfast specials to omelettes to pancakes and French toast, hearty portion sizes and reasonable prices make it clear why the tiny space is almost always packed. You may not be able to get one of the round stools inside, but if the weather is cooperative there’s plenty of outdoor seating available.
Riverside Cafe
At Riverside Cafe, tucked beside the Appomattox, made from scratch home cooking is the name of the game. Regular patrons and new visitors alike love the biscuits and gravy, corned beef hash and other comfort food options on the breakfast menu at Riverside. As an added bonus, the restaurant features the work of local artists courtesy of the Central Virginia Arts. Each painting is available for purchase. Breakfast in an art gallery anyone?
Effingham’s
Effingham’s recently burst onto the Farmville scene with a variety of bold, bright breakfast options. Brunch is offered Saturday and Sunday. Signature favorites include Eggs Benedict and crispy, savory Chicken & Waffles. After your breakfast, enjoy 365-degree views of Farmville from the viewing deck of Catbird Rooftop Bar.
Fishin’ Pig
Blending their signature savory style into breakfast, Fishin’ Pig’s Sunday brunch buffet is rapidly establishing a name for itself. It starts at 8 a.m. for early risers and features local musician Ben Dalton at the piano. Guests will enjoy a wide selection of both breakfast and lunch items.
Uptown Coffee Cafe
Uptown Cafe offers breakfast sandwiches, paninis, bagels, smoothies, French toast and even avocado toast. These items pair up perfectly with coffee, lattes and sparkling sodas. This much loved coffee shop has perfected the art of fun, quick breakfast bites.
Charley’s Waterfront Cafe
Known for their beloved Sunday brunch, Charley’s Waterfront Cafe does offer breakfast on the other days of the week as well. While you won’t find the waffle or omelette station, you will find a breakfast panini, a giant cinnamon sticky bun and a French toast sampler that features Kahlua and Baileys.
