Black Sheep’s burritos are definitely worth experiencing for lunch or dinner when you are in Charleston, but on the weekend, stop in for their special brunch menu on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am to 2:30 pm. You can get the regular Tex-Mex-inspired brunch staples such as huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos, and morning-time quesadillas, but the West Virginia flair comes forward with traditional favorites like house-made biscuits and gravy and whiskey cream French toast.

Cafe Crema is a perfect spot to grab a simple breakfast and coffee. Located 10 minutes west of downtown Charleston in Dunbar, the coffee shop run by a mother-daughter team offers all the classic espresso drinks, plus breakfast pastries, waffles, grits, and oatmeal, all at very reasonable prices.

Taylor Books

While you’re wandering around Capitol Street, stop in at Taylor Books for breakfast. Owner Ann Saville wakes up early every morning to bake fresh scones, muffins, and other pastries for the café. Quiches and coffees round out this simple breakfast spot.

Soho’s at Capitol Market

The Capitol Market, with its shops and farmers’ market, is another great place to see a landmark of Charleston and get a great start to your day. Inside the historic train depot, you can head over to Soho’s for their Sunday brunch special. With rotating menus, you’re sure to find something fresh and delicious, with a West Virginia-Italian spin to it.

Swiftwater Cafe

Need a quick breakfast bite while you’re in town for business? Check out the classic fare at Swiftwater Cafe. The café, which is open early Monday through Friday in the heart of downtown, has breakfast sandwiches, plates with eggs and protein, fresh pastries, and an à la carte breakfast plate menu too.

Tudor’s Biscuit World

Ok, so let’s be honest: Tudor’s Biscuit World isn’t winning any Michelin stars, but it is revered and honored in West Virginia, and worth a stop if you’re visiting any part of the Mountain State. There are nine locations of Tudor’s in the Charleston area, serving all of your classic breakfast needs, from biscuits and gravy to eggs, sausage, and hashbrowns, without any pretension.
