- Captain Marden’s Seafoods – While the name would not be an obvious choice for a breakfast place, this seafood restaurant and fish market proudly serves a full breakfast menu weekdays and Saturdays. Choose from array of eggs dishes and omelets, pancakes and waffles, and baked delights. Better yet, try one of their house specialties like “The Maine Catch” which features two poached eggs over sweet Maine crabmeat served on a toasted English muffin and topped with creamy hollandaise sauce. Captain Marden’s Seafoods is located at 279 Linden Street.
- Quebrada Baking Company – Ranked the number one bakery in Wellesley, this family run establishment offers everything that you would expect in a traditional bakery like scones, muffins, coffee cakes, breakfast pastries, and wonderful homemade granola. They even have savory options like ham and cheese, turkey and cheese, mushroom, and spinach croissants. If you don’t have time to stay, take something to go. Time permitting, order a cup of tea or coffee along with your sweet treat and sit at one of the several tables available there for dining in. Quebrada Baking Company is located at 272 Washington Street.
- Maugus Restaurant – A staple in the town of Wellesley since 1937, this “old school” restaurant serves homestyle breakfast dishes in a slightly retro setting with booths and counter service.

- CrepeBerry – There is nothing as delicious as a thin, freshly made, and hot crepe stuffed with something fruity, sweet or savory. CrepeBerry delivers on fantastic crepes as well as other heath inspired menu items like Acai bowls, fresh smoothies, wraps, and avocado toast.
