Best Breakfasts in Zion

Our Local Expert Says:

Pie, pie, pie...scrummy

Description:

The Thunderbird Restaurant in Zion is known for well priced American classics and fantastic homemade pies. An expansive breakfast menu gets you ready for the day, while a homey and comforting dinner menu welcomes you back after a long day. A slice of pie is practically mandatory at this historic Zion eatery, as Thunderbird is known for that pie, in addition to the quirky, misspelled sign outside.

Our Local Expert Says:

Bumbleberry pies. Really, really good.

Description:

The Bumbleberry Inn website claims that people come from all over the world to visit Wildcat Willie's to sample their pies, and it isn't hard to understand why. One could easily eat one's fill of the namesake berry, with Bumbleberry pancakes and syrup for breakfast, Bumbleberry Pie for dessert, and the ability to purchase Bumbleberry Jam from the gift shop when you get on your way. In addition to the aforementioned feature ingredients, this charming little diner has an uber-popular Bison Burger for lunch, and a delectable Utah Trout for dinner, amongst other choices.

It's the only quick-grab food available inside Zion's park boundaries

Description:

The Castle Dome Café is the perfect place to grab a snack in the morning before heading out, or on the way back when you need a little something something to tide you over until dinner. Castle Dome Café features great coffee and nibblies, including cinnamon buns and ice cream. Centrally located and easy to get to via the Zion shuttle.

Description:

This little café has garnered a great deal of press for how forthright the owners are about their, ahem, alternative lifestyle, cheekily referenced in its name, The Merry Wives Café. Food is homemade and hearty, coffee is good, and the Raspberry Lemonade is perfect on a hot Utah day. Decorations on the wall include family photos from many years ago – take a look around, and keep an open mind.
