The Breakfast Nook
565 Washington Ave, North Haven, CT
Crema's Take
“The French toast here is genuinely exceptional—thick-cut, custardy, and clearly made with care—and it's become the reason regulars keep coming back and first-timers plan return visits. Beyond that signature dish, the kitchen executes a full breakfast menu with real skill, from Sicilian omelets to Belgian waffles to ham steak, all served in a genuinely warm atmosphere where the staff knows how to make people feel welcomed. If you want a serious breakfast destination with comfortable seating and reliable execution across the board, this is worth the trip.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Me and my sister came for the first time February 22, 2025 and it was absolutely amazing. No words at all. We had the Sicilian omelette, granny’s Belgian waffle and petite stack French toast.
This is my first time here. When you walk in you are greeting with the delicious smell of maple syrup. My friend and I were taken in with minutes of our arrival. The place was pretty busy. The hostess and waitress were super nice and friendly. The food was absolutely delicious.…
