BABEL Cafe
Babel Cafe is located right on Av. Tulum (the main street in Centro). It is one of my favorite spots for coffee but the breakfast is equally delicious. The menu here is massive! You should be able to find something for everyone’s appetite. There are tons of smoothies, chilaquiles, bagels, and more. Tip: pay at the front when you are done and cash only.

Botanica Garden Cafe
Botanica Garden Cafe is a great spot to start your morning. They have a beautiful back patio where you are surrounded by tons of greenery. My favorite item on the menu is their salmon toast. It’s the perfect breakfast if you are not looking for anything heavy. Plus, they have a nice co-working area too.

Burrito Amor
Burrito Amor is definitely one of the best places to eat in Tulum. I was lucky to live around the corner from it when I stayed in Tulum. And I ate here tons! Their breakfast is actually available all day. Of course, the highlight are the egg burritos and you will be full all morning. (This is one of my favorite places to eat in all of Mexico!)

Campanella Cremerie
If you are having a sweet craving in the AM, head over to Campanella Cremerie. They have plenty on the menu but are known for their waffles. You can find a few seats outside (right on Av. Tulum) or order take-out from inside.

CoCon.Amor
Co.ConAmor is a vegetarian restaurant in Tulum. They have a beautiful, large outdoor space for dining. They have quite a few options and breakfast is hearty. I especially recommend the beetroot latte here.

DelCielo
DelCielo is a pretty popular breakfast spot in Tulum. You can expect there to be a wait list most mornings, especially since the restaurant does not have a large amount of seating. My favorite dish here is the avocado Florentine.

La Querida
La Querida is located right in the heart of downtown Tulum at Av. Tulum and Calle Centauro Sur. I swear they have everything you can think of on their menu! It is a typical tourist spot due to its location but I quite enjoy it for breakfast. The huevos rancheros are a good, basic dish and inexpensive.

Líquido y Sólido
Líquido y Sólido is one of my favorite places for breakfast in Tulum. It can be found further south on Av. Tulum. The portions are massive and their coffee is delicious too. In addition, they are known for their fresh fruit smoothies.

Sin Etiqueta
Sin Etiqueta is a little, adorable coffee shop that I loved for breakfast. They do have a good menu selection despite its size. This ranges from sandwiches on croissants, eggs done a few different ways, and of course avocado toast. It’s a great brunch menu.

Tierra Vegan Restaurant
Tierra is located inside Holistika, a boutique hotel in Tulum. I was worried the food here would not be great or expensive due to its location. But I was actually pleasantly surprised. The food was more filling than I expected and quite delicious. The prices were also reasonable. If you are heading here for breakfast, be sure to check out the free Tulum art walk nearby. It is amazing!

Where to Stay in Tulum

Tulum is overall a safe town, but definitely a place to be on alert. I’ve heard stories of muggings, home robberies, and gun violence (typically related to drug violence) but did not witness anything myself during my two visits (the second lasting two months). Use your common street smarts. For instance, I rarely walked home alone in Centro after 10pm. That being said, I do suggest reading about safety in Mexico. And I do advocate for travel insurance. If applicable to you, check with your employee benefits to see if you are covered. Otherwise, I like World Nomads as it’s quite reputable and provides 24-hour assistance.
