Where to Get Breakfast in Lake Havasu: The Ultimate Guide from Havasu Superhosts
Whether you're fueling up for a full day on the water, easing into a lazy Sunday with the fam, or just craving a strong cup of coffee before hitting the trails, Lake Havasu’s breakfast scene has more to offer than meets the eye. As locals, parents, and hosts of Havasu Lux Stays, we’ve tried our fair share of spots—and we’re here to share our go-to places for every kind of morning.
Here’s your ultimate guide to breakfast in Lake Havasu, categorized for whatever mood you're in. Trust us, your taste buds (and your crew) will thank you.
Coffee First, Always
For those who live by the “but first, coffee” mantra, here are our favorite local stops to kickstart your day:
Wild Coffee – This one’s a must. Local, cozy, and consistent, it’s always a crowd-pleaser.
River Blend Coffee Co. – A great pit stop with quality drinks and friendly service.
The Human Bean – Drive-thru only, fast and efficient. Bonus: they hand you a chocolate-covered espresso bean with your order. (We’re not saying that’s why we go, but… we’re not not saying it either.)
Sit-Down Breakfast Spots Worth the Wait
Looking to sit down, relax, and enjoy a full spread with a view? These are our tried-and-true favorites:
Red Onion – A local favorite and a Hunter family staple. Always bustling with energy, they’ve got both indoor and outdoor seating, a full coffee bar, and the best Bloody Marys in town. Pro tip: the kids vote their pancakes as #1 in Havasu. So whether you’re brunching or craving breakfast-for-lunch, this one checks all the boxes.
Juicy’s The Place with Great Food – The name says it all. Their country sausage gravy is famous (and well worth the indulgence), and the menu has something for everyone.
Sam’s Place – Classic comfort food that hits the spot every single time. Think hearty omelets, crispy hashbrowns, and diner-style charm.
Makai Cafe – Great for breakfast with a view. Overlooking the London Bridge, this diner-style spot is perfect for soaking in that early morning sun while sipping your coffee and planning your day.
On-the-Go Favorites
Need something quick before heading to the lake or off-roading for the day? Havasu has solid grab-and-go options:
The Human Bean (again!) – Perfect for drive-thru mornings on the move.
Wild Coffee & River Blend – Both offer great to-go options without sacrificing flavor or quality.
Smoothies, Energy Drinks & Healthy Picks
Balance out all the vacation indulgence with one of these health-conscious stops:
Charged Up Nutrition Bar – Known for their energy drinks, protein shakes, and B12 boosters. If you’re trying to sneak in something healthy (without sacrificing taste), this is your spot.
Siddhartha’s Garden – A newer addition to the scene with a zen vibe and nourishing menu. Outdoor seating, clean ingredients, and a peaceful start to the day.
Best of the Best: Pancakes & Bloody Marys
We couldn’t write a breakfast guide without highlighting two top-tier menu items according to locals and our kids alike:
Best Pancakes → Red Onion
Fluffy, golden, and cooked to perfection. If you’re a syrup-swirler or a butter-only purist, this stack will win you over either way.Best Bloody Mary → Also Red Onion
Because sometimes you need a little extra “kick” to your morning. Their Bloody Marys are legendary and the ideal brunch companion.
Bonus Tip: Planning Your Morning Like a Pro
We always recommend checking hours before you go (this is a small town, after all!). If you’re staying at one of our Havasu Lux Stays properties, feel free to shoot us a message—many of these places are just a short drive or walk away, and we’re happy to guide you based on your morning plans.
Havasu Lux Stays Pro Tip:
Want the best of both worlds? Grab a coffee at Wild, walk the London Bridge, and land at Makai for a chill breakfast with a view. That’s a Lake Havasu kind of morning.
