Peach’s Restaurant is one of the best breakfast restaurants in North Conway. They also serve lunch and have ample outdoor seating with umbrellas so you can easily enjoy the warm weather months.

We had a fantastic breakfast here on our recent trip with the sweetest server. This restaurant is very warm and homey: it feels a little like a grandma’s house (in a good way!) The coziness means it’s compact though, so there aren’t too many tables. Because of that, and because it’s so popular, it gets extremely busy. My son and I got there around 8am, which is when they open, and we had to wait 20 minutes for a table for two. By the time we left after our meal, there were dozens of parties waiting!

The menu has excellent, sweet crepes, savory crepes, egg dishes, sandwiches, burritos, pancakes (of every kind), french toast, and more. You should get the coconut french toast, however. No lie, it transported my taste buds straight back to a trip to Hawaii.
