Must order: A brunch plate, eaten out in the city garden

Address: Idomeneos 22, Iraklio 712 02, Heraklion
Granary pours Taf Roastery coffee alongside a Mediterranean brunch menu in central Heraklion, from early breakfast through to a very late lunch.
Order: Filter coffee and whatever is on the day plate
Tip: An espresso bar and eatery in one, so a slow brunch works here as easily as a coffee stop.
Frankly My Dear is the specialty coffee and brunch room on Karterou in Heraklion, doing freddo espresso, salmon toast with avocado and fresh juices.
Order: Salmon toast with avocado, and a freddo espresso alongside
Tip: On Karterou beside Agia Aikaterini square, five minutes uphill from the noise of the Agora.
Central Park serves the biggest Greek breakfast in central Heraklion, a shared spread of bread, croissants, village sausage, eggs and tomatoes.
Order: Central Breakfast for two, with village sausage
Tip: The two-person breakfast brings homemade bread, croissants, village sausage, eggs and tomatoes, and it comfortably feeds three people.
Think Tank serves brunch under the specialty coffee programme in central Heraklion, on a neoclassical terrace that fills up fast in high summer.
Order: The house espresso with a plate of pancakes
Tip: Book the terrace ahead. Brunch runs alongside the wine list, so a late one can drift into an afternoon glass.
Hacienda works a third-wave brunch in Heraklion of avocado toasts, pancakes and protein plates, served beside Agia Ekaterini square in the old town.
Order: Avocado toast and a long black
Tip: Several branches operate across Heraklion, so confirm which one you are meeting people at before you set off.

Mare Coffee Bar & Food does breakfast on the Heraklion seafront, yogurt with honey, sandwiches and juices with the Cretan sea a few metres away.
