The Best Brunch And Breakfast Spots In Yekaterinburg

Trying to work out where to eat breakfast in an unfamiliar city can sometimes be a daunting task. Getting your first meal right and a decent coffee can make or break how the rest of your day unfurls. Whether you want classic Russian fare or Georgian breads, make it an easy decision easy for yourself with our pick of the best breakfast and brunch spots in Yekaterinburg.

1. Engels

Cafe, Bar, Coffee Shop, Russian

Choosing to focus on one thing and do it right, the family-run, light and breezy Engels offers up crisp and crunchy waffles, loaded with toppings both savoury and sweet. Alongside the waffles, there is a late breakfast menu with eggs and porridge topped with flavour sensations such as peanut butter, dried cranberries and banana, or caramelised apples, poppy seeds and almonds, as well as an early menu, made up of coffee and food deals, if you’re an early riser.

2. Khachapuri for Pushkin

Bakery, Cafe, Georgian, Vegetarian

Start the day by tucking into freshly baked Georgian pies and pastries in this cozy and homely bakery. Feast on kachapuri, a traditional bread stuffed with cheese and topped with egg, perfect for dipping crunchy crusts into. This place is good for a caffeine hit too, as the coffees come hot and strong and there are plenty of tea infusions to try out as well.

3. Simple Coffee

Cafe, European, Vegetarian

Get a proper taste of Russia with one of the breakfast deals on offer in this trendy café where all the cool kids hang. Wake yourself up with the sour cherry porridge or kasha, a buckwheat cereal. There is also a selection of baked goods so take a buttery croissant with your latte and settle in for the morning.

5. Works Coffee

Coffee Shop, Cafe, Russian

Works Coffee is an independent coffee house that hipsters just love. They take their coffee seriously here, meaning you can try coffees brewed by different techniques – if you don’t fancy a latte, try a syphon coffee or a cold press. Breakfasts are cheap here, so fill up – warming porridge comes with a free coffee, and syrniki and bacon and eggs are a steal, so dig in!

6. Stolle

Cafe, Russian, Georgian, Vegetarian

Stolle prepares classic Ural dishes like pelmeni, meat stuffed dumplings, and vareniki, filled with sweet cheese and berries, in a cosy and homely environment. The café also whips up pirogies, Russian stuffed buns, of which there are plenty to choose from and ideal to soak up a hangover. For a real sensation, try out the both sweet and sour lemon pie, or the crusty mushroom kulebyaka, a pie made from a brioche pastry and stuffed with potato and cabbage, or salmon.

7. The French Baker

Bakery, Cafe, French, Vegetarian, Coffee, Tea , Fast Food, Street Food

If you feel like something a little different, head to The French Baker, a cute little continental coffee shop, to get a little bit of Paris in your day. They do have all the Russian breakfast fare, although the sweet and salty French toast, topped with rashers of crispy fried bacon and a good strong latte is not a bad way to start the day. There is also a selection of pastries should you feel like something light.
