Turks and Caicos Breakfast & Brunch Restaurants
For breakfast, the best options are typically either one of the cafés in the Grace Bay area or one of the resort restaurants. Many of the well-known inland restaurants don’t open for breakfast, yet typically at least one of the restaurants onsite at the larger hotels serves breakfast. Buffets are not common in the Turks and Caicos, and are typically only found at special events and at the larger all-inclusive resorts.
Lemon 2 Go, Shay Café, Beans & Leaves, and Graceway Gourmet supermarket tend to be the busiest early morning spots that are not hotel restaurants. All offer a selection of ready-to-go food, as well as some hot prepared dishes.
Some of the best brunch options in the Turks and Caicos are a handful of restaurants that offer specials, often only available on certain days.
19 Bar and Restaurant is located at the Royal Turks and Caicos Golf Club near Grace Bay. To cater to those wanting early tee times, the restaurant opens at 7:30 AM to serve a wide breakfast and brunch menu, which has everything from pancakes, fruit dishes, and breakfast sandwiches to full English breakfasts and Sunday brunch specials.
Bay Bistro’s breakfast and brunch is a favorite of visitors and locals. The restaurant offers a beautiful beachfront setting on Grace Bay, and the morning menu includes pancakes, fruit plates, bagels, eggs, bacon, sausages, hash browns, omelets, toast, yogurt, and more.
Coffee, Tea, and Smoothies
For many, a great cup of coffee to start the morning is essential. Fortunately, there’s a great collection of cafés on Providenciales, mostly in the Grace Bay area.
Lemon 2 Go, Shay Café, and Beans & Leaves all compete to create the perfect cup of gourmet coffee. Shay Café offers both indoor and outdoor seating, while Beans & Leaves' dining area is mainly indoors and Lemon 2 Go's is primarily outdoors. Ritual Coffee Culture in the Ritz-Carlton resort is the newest café on island, and serves a long menu of espresso-based drinks.
Located in Turtle Cove, Turks Wave Café is a convenient option if you're staying in one of the luxury villas or hotels near the Turtle Cove Marina. The café serves a long list of espresso-based coffees as well as regular drip coffee, teas, smoothies, and even mimosas. They also do breakfast and brunch, with any-style eggs, pancakes, waffles, and breakfast sandwiches on the menu.
Graceway Gourmet Supermarket serves a range of breakfast drinks, including coffee, teas, and smoothies that are custom blended from fresh fruits and vegetables.
A healthy breakfast choice in Grace Bay is Crest & Berry, which serves smoothie bowls and tartines.
Beachfront Dining
Providenciales has some great breakfast beachfront dining spots, where the tranquil ocean foreground is a perfect complement. Bay Bistro is located on Grace Bay Beach at the Sibonné Beach Hotel. Down Grace Bay a bit is Solana, which is located at Ocean Club West and has a full breakfast menu that includes breakfast sandwiches, pancakes, eggs, and several other classic dishes.
Hemingway’s at The Sands is another great choice. It has a full menu of popular breakfast choices, and is a favorite local spot.

There are some great places for croissants, donuts, bagels, muffins, Danishes, and more in the central Grace Bay area. Graceway Gourmet typically has the broadest selection of baked goods, and offers coffee and smoothies, as well as outdoor seating.
