Best Breakfast in Buxton – where is your favourite?
We go on the hunt for the best breakfasts in Buxton...who gets YOUR vote?
Whether you’re prepping for a hike in the adjacent Peak District National Park or recovering from a night out on the town, Buxton has several establishments offering their own version of the full English breakfast.
From a classic full English to vegetarian, vegan and lighter options, Buxton has plenty of places to start the day. Menus and ingredients can change, so check with each venue for current choices.
None of these are rated in any order, we loved them all!
Lets take a look at the best breakfast in Buxton
No.6 The Square
If you like a postcard view whilst ingesting a massive collection of protein and carbohydrates, then No.6 The Square sits opposite Buxton Opera House and the Pavilion Gardens and you might be able to get a seat outside. No.6 serves cooked breakfasts and lighter options; check its current menu for what is available. You are then free to walk around the gardens before those beans kick in and things get a lot less genteel.

Arcade Deli
We love the toasted sandwiches in Arcade Deli, particularly the ham and cheese sour-dough toasted sandwich, which makes a change for breakfast. The Arcade Deli has established a loyal following and can get busy but there is now seating inside the deli and also in walkway inside the Arcade plus outside seating, which is lovely on a sunny day. They offer toasted sandwiches, bagels and more with imaginative fillings which makes them stand out.

Eat @ No.5
On London Road is Eat@No.5. This place had so much great stuff on its menu that ordering a Full English seemed shamefully unadventurous. However, I’m glad I did because it was tasty and well-presented; remarkable for its lack of grease and fantastic sausages. The man behind the counter said he got them from a place in Bakewell, which shows how important it is to get your ingredients from somewhere decent. Our only gripe was mixing the beans with the egg; this is like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters.
Opening times: Contact Eat @ No.5 for current opening hours.

Fiveways Café
At the gateway to Higher Buxton resides Five Ways Café (many cafes and bars in Buxton have numbers in their names which gets confusing even when you live here). Five Ways is both a café and a laundrette and therefore the go-to place when you’re hungry and your washing machine is on the blink. I believe this was the cheapest of the breakfasts I had. The staff were friendly and the general vibe was chilled; a bit like nipping into your favourite auntie’s house for a bite to eat. The breakfast was a tad fluid but this could have been prevented by my own investment in extra toast. I’ll know for next time.
Opening times: Contact Fiveways Café for current opening hours.
