The Top Five Go-To Breakfast Places In Rockford

Need breakfast but don't know where to go? This handy guide should be able to help.

I'm not much of a breakfast eater, but if I was to go out to eat breakfast on the daily in Rockford, I'd be better off going to one of these places.

For me, breakfast at Lydia's Cafe, 1710 Rural Street, is tops in Rockford however, there are those who disagree.

Thankfully, the Rockford subReddit has plenty of people willing to weigh in on what breakfast place they believe does it best in the Forest City.

Just a few days ago, this question was asked: What's your go-to breakfast place?

There was no conclusive answer as to which was the best go-to breakfast place in Rockford but I did manage to put together a list of where to go for breakfast based on their answers.
