Tybee Island breakfast picks worth trying
Four morning spots on Tybee, checked against their own websites. Three are on Butler Ave near Tybrisa St, so park once and walk; Sand Cat is on 1st St. Hours change with the season, so check before you go.
As of Oct 24, 2026.
Before you go
- The drive: From downtown Savannah, US 80 is the only road onto Tybee, and it can flood near Lazaretto Creek around high tide. Check the tide before an early start.
- Parking: Parking is paid all over Tybee, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day. Pay with the Park TYB app or at a kiosk; no cash. ParkSavannah is for downtown Savannah only and won't pay for a Tybee spot. Tybee parking info
- When to go: Early. The Window closes when the biscuits sell out.
Breakfast & Coffee
Sunrise Restaurant
Sit-down breakfast from a Savannah-area group with four locations, running since 1987. Open daily 6am–2pm; closed Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The Window
Walk-up window, no dining room. Scratch-made biscuits and made-to-order breakfast and lunch. Open Wed–Mon 7am–1pm, closed Tuesdays. Hours can shift seasonally or when they sell out, so call to confirm.
Skip it if you want a table: there's no dining room and no seats, only the walk-up window.
Breakfast Club
Diner at 1500 Butler Ave serving breakfast and brunch. Its website lists only Thursday–Saturday evening hours, so call ahead before a morning visit.
Sand Cat Coffee
Coffee shop on 1st St pouring PERC coffee from a local roaster, with pastries and indoor and outdoor seating. Coffee and pastries, not a full breakfast. Hours aren't posted; email [email protected] or check before you go.
