Need really good breakfast place in Danbury, CT

I'm looking for a fantastic breakfast place in Danbury (and only Danbury). It can be a hole in the wall or a hidden gem, but it shouldn't cost too much or be fancy--we'll have 2 two year olds with us.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    King's in Newtown. Hands down the best breakfast place in the area. Short drive and convenient on Route 25.

      The Alley Diner, Ives St off of White St, in Danbury.
      Small place, food is always good, always fresh. Good place for 2-year-olds and 102-year-olds.

          I'm afraid I have to un-recommend this place after an unpleasant experience.

          Once again, I know you said Danbury but I don't think you'll find what you are looking for in Danbury unless you want a diner. Brookfield is very close and Rickyls has a very nice breakfast, isn't fancy and is child friendly. It's at 800 Federal Rd next to Rocco's restaurant. They are open Tuesday-Sunday until 2PM.

            I grew up in Danbury, and I'd have to recommend the Windmill Diner. It's your typical Greek Diner, but it's really reliable and I make it a point to go back there every time I visit my folks.

            Their omelettes and home fries are great.

              My husband worked there in high school! Windmill would be a great breakfast spot in Danbury.

              I know it's not in Danbury, but The American Pie Company is just a short drive north to Sherman.

              Best breakfast around imho.
