The Best Breakfasts And Brunches In Newark, Delaware

Megan Wisniewski

Tracing its roots back to when Guy Beringer created the portmanteau in 1895 by urging people to enjoy the Sunday breakfast experience, brunch is a phenomenon on the rise. That trend is no different in Newark, Delaware, home of the University of Delaware. Check out the best breakfast and brunch spots in this college town.

Main Street Newark, Delaware

Sinclair’s Cafe

Sinclair’s Café is a Newark classic. A winner of Best Breakfast and Best Breakfast Place from Delaware Today, Jeffrey Sinclair emphasized fresh and natural before they were in vogue. Real maple syrup is a given and the whole-wheat flour is freshly ground. Cozy and unpretentious, Sinclair’s Café is the opposite of a greasy spoon and it’s easily the best French toast and eggs in town.

Klondike Kate’s

A building that once housed a jail for drunkards in 1880, a post office until 1900, and then a skating rink, Klondike Kate’s is built on the history of Newark. That history is something the owners hope to embody: 270 years of entertaining and serving people. Thankfully, this restaurant on the heart of Main Street has progressed with the times. Browse their extensive brunch menu that contains everything you could ever want, including the must try omelet with lump crab meat, tomato and mozzarella cheese or breakfast pie (pizza dough topped with red sauce, scrambled eggs, mozzarella cheese, sausage and chopped bacon).
