Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Luckily for visitors to McKinney, there are several essential breakfast and brunch destinations in the city.
Start Your Day Right
McKinney's daily breakfast offerings include Eggsquisite Cafe, a locally owned gem specializing in farm-fresh dishes; the Broken Yolk Cafe, a community gathering spot whose wide-ranging menu runs from chicken and waffles to acai bowls; and Layered, a favorite known for its creative menu and bottomless mimosas with $1 refills, to name a few.
The leisurely brunch options run just as deep. On Sundays, Rick's Chophouse serves a legendary Champagne Brunch Buffet—homemade biscuits and pan gravy, cheesy grits, apple wood-smoked bacon, and chicken and sage sausage links keep diners coming back. The Stix Icehouse pairs its sprawling patio with a Saturday-and-Sunday brunch menu of chilaquiles, burgers, and egg-and-potato tacos, and Urban Grill & Wine Bar plates pot roast hash, buttermilk pancakes, avocado toast, and a poached-egg breakfast bowl on weekends.
Whatever the craving, (a pastry and a coffee, classic diner fare, or lobster benedict and shrimp and grits) wash it down with a fresh juice or coffee drink, then stroll the Historic Downtown square to set the tone for the day.
