The Absolute Best Breakfast in Grafton

Let’s settle the breakfast debate. There’s the Sunday scramble at PJ Piper’s banana foster table, and there’s the quiet booth at Java Dock, where the vanilla latte pairs with an actual acoustic guitar you can play.

The Cedar Creek runs right through this breakfast territory, connecting old-school diner booths to crepe baskets and a bourbon melt that’s heavy enough to skip lunch for. I ate a lot of syrup this month.

Keep this list for the next time you can’t decide.

I will definitely be back to try more of the menu. It is a solid, reliable choice for a morning meal in Cedarburg.
