When it comes to breakfast, sky’s the limit at Country Corner Cafe. Served from 8am-8pm (Thursday-Sunday) and 8am-3pm (Monday and Wednesday), diners can indulge in homemade crepes, corned beef hash and eggs and buttermilk pancakes all made with a hint of vanilla. To satisfy salty cravings a bit earlier than normal, there are flatbread scrambles (sausage and cheddar, ham and swiss and egg whites and turkey) served on grilled flatbread. The warm, hometown ambiance turns back the clock with wooden panelling and comfy red booths to boot. Phone: 631-765-6766 | Address: 55765 NY-25 Click to taste

Jeni’s Main Street Grill

Jeni’s has been regarded as a “true hidden gem” of the North Fork, and for good reason. The menu offers breakfast all day—well at least until 2:30pm, but that’s only because that’s when the restaurant closes. Creative favorites include the blueberry crumb pancakes, streusel stuffed French toast (cinnamon, pecans, brown sugar, cream cheese) and the breakfast burrito with chipotle mayo.
