Best Cheap Breakfast in Universal Studios?

[mevelandry]

In your opinion... Where can I find the best cheap Breakfast in Universal Studios? (Not visiting Island of Adventures).

Or should we just have breakfast at our hotel's food court? (Much cheaper...?)

Thanks in advance!

We just buy some granola bars and eat those then an early lunch. That's super cheap!

You pick them up at the food court?

Or bring them from home or pick them up at a grocery store/ have groceries delivered via Instacart. But in the food court or from home is the easiest. What hotel are you staying at?

We're flying in from Canada so I don't think we'll bring food with us.

We'll be staying at the new Endless Summer resort.

Your hotel doesn't offer a breakfast?

What kind of breakfast? We like the giant donut from the Simpsons' area. It's pretty cheap(around $6 I think) and usually feeds the 4 of us. If you're looking for eggs or something with protein I have no idea.

Voodoo Donuts or Cinnabon in Citywalk will be on your way into the parks.

I agree that the "big pink" from Simpsons is great. It also comes in not-pink.

Keep in mind though, that having breakfast in the park is eating in to your prime morning low crowd touring times, so I'd suggest eating before entering. Either quick and cheap in the hotel room (granola, cereal) and having a pick-me-up snack a few hours later, or actual filling breakfast at the hotel food court or City walk prior to park opening.

Viennoiseries would be nice?

I don't hate the Cinnabon idea. I wonder if they'll be open before the Early Entrance at HP, though?

I forgot to check the options at Citywalk. Thanks for reminding me!

UO website says Cinnabon opens at 7:30am. Assuming that is true, I imagine successful timing will depend on when early entry is.

Cinnabon's direct website also says the City Walk location opens at 7:30am.

We skip breakfast entirely and go with an early lunch. When kiddos along, toss them the aforementioned granola bars or dry cereal, fruit/nuts/crackers with some peanut butter for them to nosh on as we head out the hotel room door along with whatever bottled beverage we’ve picked up for them. No complaints as of yet, usually so excited to get to parks eating breakfast is last thing on their minds.

The Hard Rock Café in Citywalk offers breakfast. Here is the menu:

We like to go for early entry and there aren't many options around that time. Most of the resort places open at the same time as early entry. We've done both of the HP restaurants and they are okay, but very expensive for what you get, IMO.

We do like Voodoo for a quick (depending on the line) and cheap breakfast.

In Sapphire Falls, there is a quick counter next to the elevators. We used it to grab a bagel and drink (coffee, milk, etc) on the way to the water taxi.

Tough to say exactly what's going to be offered at Endless Summer Resorts as it's not open yet!

I imagine there will be a Starbucks and Food Court which should both be open pre-early park admission. I would either dine there or as mentioned in CityWalk if you have to eat beforehand.

Also, I believe a Walgreens is within walking distance to Endless Summers, you could grab a bunch of stuff there to keep in room and take to park.
