We know how important it is to start the day with a great breakfast, or for late morning folks, a hearty brunch. So we’ve prepared a list of the finest, comfiest, most scrumptious places that serve breakfast and brunch in Iași.

1. Harmony Café

Harmony Café is a coffee shop that serves savoury breakfasts in a homey and relaxing setting. For breakfast, you can choose either a latte with a spongy cake or a toasted sandwich with freshly squeezed orange juice. However, the real treat is Harmony Café’s amazing sweet and salty pancakes. But if this isn’t your cup of tea, maybe a burger will suffice. Meanwhile, you can read books or play one of their many board games.

Cuib’s laid-back, cosy ambiance is great for a quiet morning, when all you want is to sit in a chair and enjoy a good meal.

5. Cafeneaua Noastră

Inspired by African culture and art, Cafeneaua Noastră is a welcoming restaurant that takes its guests on a tour around the continent during breakfast. It is also one of the best coffee places in town, so be sure to grab a cup and a cookie if you’re in a hurry. But what is really great about Cafeneaua Noastră is the fun vibe and positive energy from the staff. You will surely be smiling throughout your visit.

6. Moo Café and Bakery

If you love sweet breakfasts, then Moo Café and Bakery is the place to go in Iași. The spacious, luminous interior is decorated with plants, giving you the feeling that you are in a garden. At Moo, you can taste the traditional Romanian dessert, cozonac, as well as gorgeous cakes, pastries and amazing ice creams for hot summer days. And because mornings require coffee, at Moo you can indulge in an authentic Italian espresso.

A French coffee and dessert eatery, La Folie is the perfect place for people with sweet tooths. Start your day in town with a cookie, a croissant aux amandes, or a moelleux au chocolat.

8. Café Papillon

Café Papillon is about cheerful mornings and lovely breakfasts. During their ‘Happy Mornings’, you can choose a Happy Espresso with a chocolate treat, a Happy Cappuccino with cannoli or a Happy Latte with a croissant.
