Start Your Day by Visiting These 21 Breakfast Places in Maine

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and we New Englanders live by that rule.

Scattered throughout Maine are countless breakfast establishments, including cafes, diners, and other locally-owned businesses. You've also got your chain restaurants like iHop and Denny's as well. No matter where you're looking to dine, a delicious breakfast is probably just a short drive away.

When you do go out for breakfast, what is your menu selection of choice? Is it a hearty sandwich, wrap, or omelette?
