The best Breakfast Spots in Tirol

So if it’s given that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, why not have it be the most delicious? These places around Innsbruck are the best spots to start your morning with a kick of flavour. Plus, there are great places to have breakfast all across the country.

I have asked my friends and colleagues for their favourite breakfast spots in Tirol. So if you want the best edible start to your best day ever, here are the places you need to hit in Tirol. (Additional ones will be regularly added, so check back for more to come.)

Upon walking through the doors, you will instantly feel like you have time travelled back into a past world—and you will feel spoiled like the Lords and Ladies who once occupied the property. On sunny days, guests can enjoy al fresco dining at their outdoor patio, with wonderful views of the restored 12th century Matzen Castle that sits majestically amid sprawling acres of manicured gardens and grounds.

Nani Kaffee & Konzept in Söll – www.kaffeenani.com

Ambiance:
Attention to detail? You bet. It’s casual, hip and homey, with a great patio room for enjoyable brunching. The tiny Concept Store next door sells interesting pieces to fill your dwellings, from tableware and serving ware to home accessories, unique gifts and jewellery. Combining a café with retail in the one space is a new and very exciting concept. It provides customers with that true lifestyle experience of being able to both shop and relax with friends over a coffee. The great-grandparents of today’s owner Simone operated a coffeehouse in those very rooms more than 50 years ago. The name “Nani” is homage to Simone’s grandma, who was upbeat, positive and relaxed—and who always had time for others. Sounds like a nice concept for a breakfast spot to me.
