Big Bad Breakfast is a spot known to give respect to โ€œthe most important meal of the day,โ€ breakfast. Founded by Chef John Currence, Big Bad Breakfast brings classic, southern meals to Florence with juicy, tender meats, fresh cocktails and soft, hot biscuits.

โ€œMore than anything, I wanted to recapture the flavors of my childhood memory.โ€

โ€”Chef John Currence

Along with having delicious food, they’ve also been rated as the #1 Best Breakfast in the Shoals! So, what dish put them on the top of the list? Well, everything, but according to chefs that prepare the dishes, they’d say they whip up tons of orders of skillets, which include anything from egg to vegetables!

2.) Rivertown Coffee

Although Rivertown stays open late nights for dinner, they have a special breakfast/lunch menu that include foods that’ll make your mouth water. Their most popular items are their fresh brewed coffee and teas, but donโ€™t miss their delicious breakfast wraps! Pair it with their gourmet drip coffee or a fresh fruit smoothie, and you’ve got a 5-star breakfast meal.

3.) The Artsy and Coffee Place

Coffee and art? Why not! This pink painted spot is a two-in-one. They hold art classes, but also have a convenient drive-thru for some good coffee on the go, especially for hectic mornings. Their menu consists of coffee, tea, frappes and sweet baked goods such as cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, muffins, bagels and more.

They’re known for their delicious drinks, and they’re all fan favorites. However, their birthday cake flavored coffee/frappรฉ is a must-try. It’s seasonal, so don’t wait too long!
