Best Breakfast in Meridian, Idaho

Scratch biscuits baked every 45 minutes. Real eggs cracked to order. Banana bread baked overnight. Open daily 7am–2pm at 1407 W McMillan Rd, Suite 170.

When people in Meridian ask where to get a real breakfast, they mean the kind cooked in front of you on a flat-top, where the eggs are cracked one at a time and the biscuits come out of the oven smelling like Sunday. That's The Capri. We've been doing this in the Treasure Valley since 1943 and the recipes haven't changed because they didn't need to.

What makes a Capri breakfast different

🥚
Real eggs, cracked to order
No liquid eggs. No bag-mix. Every omelette and over-easy starts with a whole egg, cracked by hand on a hot flat-top.
🧈
Scratch biscuits, every 45 minutes
Buttermilk biscuits made from scratch and baked through the morning. The 9:30am batch is what built this restaurant's reputation.
🍞
Banana bread, overnight
Real bananas, real butter, baked the night before so the French toast on the next morning's flat-top is the original you can't get anywhere else.
☕
Coffee brewed every 30 min
Fresh pot, every half hour. Never burnt, never an hour old. Free refills as long as you're sitting.
👨‍👩‍👧
Family-owned, not a franchise
Same family, same neighborhood, eighty-three years. Not a chain. Not a TV show diner. Just a local restaurant.
⏱️
In and out in 30 minutes
Sit, eat, be on your way. Or stay all morning — the booth is yours.
