Breakfast spots
"Quieres desayunar?" You won't have to spend much time in Cozumel before you realize that breakfast is a big deal! When making friend a new friend in Cozumel it is just as common for them to ask you breakfast as it would be to go out for a dink.
Maple Bakehouse
@amyhill
Great little bakery in the heart of downtown. Perfect for grabbing a quick baked item to go, or sitting down for breakfast.

Cafe de Isla
@amyhill
This is one of the most charming breakfast spots on the island. The cafe is recently renovated and the interior is airy and charming. I always head straight to the garden though. The coffee is impeccable made, and all of the food is esquisite.

French Bakery with wonderful baked good and good coffee. They also offer two specials - called paquettes that are a good value for money.

Many locals say that this is the best food on the Island, and I am inclined to agree with them! Make sure to ask to sit on the back patio. The food and the ambiance make for a special treat

Crazy King Burrito

I used to go here at least once a week for the veggie burrito. If you are looking for something quick and delicious downtown, this is your spot! The food is great and the staff is wonderful.

Nutty Treesome - Cuisine Botanique
@amyhill
Vegan restaurant that everyone will love. All of the dishes are lovingly made by the couple who own the restaurant. Quick tip though- all of that prep takes time, probably not the best place to try if you are in a rush
