5 Breakfast Spots in Rockford to Try This Weekend
Every Saturday, after our workout, a small group of us from Maximum Performance will go out for coffee. Coffee has turned into going out for breakfast and every week we try and go some place different; some place local.
A few weeks ago, over breakfast at Magpie, a friend of mine asked if I had ever been to Lydia's Café. I'd never heard of it, so last weekend; on a whim, my boyfriend and I decided to give it a try. We stuck out like a sore thumb in our gym clothes but it's a great place; so great that inspired me to share some of my other favorite places to have breakfast in Rockford. Maybe, like me, these are places you've never heard of and if you feel the urge, you can give one of them a try this weekend.

1710 Rural St #3, Rockford- Small, quaint and the menu is extremely unique with Rockford themed meals. For example, I had the "Bike Path"- eggs, toast, and bacon.

5529 N 2nd St, Loves Park- You can't be a true diner that serves breakfast anytime, if they serve breakfast anytime, you know it has to be amazing and affordable.

3700 E State St, Rockford- Surprisingly, I have yet to eat here but everyone says John and Pam are great; the pancakes are the best, and anyone visiting from out of town always makes it a point to eat here.

7475 E State St, Rockford- If you can make it, their Easter brunch this Sunday. It might be busy but totally worth it. They have adorable décor, excellent food choices and a full bar.
