AM-Breakfast all Day
Towering volcanoes, lush green hills, and Spanish colonial architecture surround a vibrant city with amazing nightlife and cuisine. Imagine taking in all of that and then waking up late, craving breakfast, only to find out that most restaurants stop serving it after 11am. That’s how AM-Breakfast all Day was born.
The concept: Back in 2021, Alyssa (an American) and Daniel (a Guatemalan) had recently gotten married and had been living in Antigua for a year. The pandemic was winding down, and opportunities were in the air. Daniel, a trained chef, and Alyssa, an amateur ceramist, saw an opportunity to start a project together that would combine not only their skills, but also art and culture.
In Daniel’s words, “In culinary school, they teach you that people don’t like to choose and that as the chef, you are the expert and should tell people what to get. Studies agree with this, but when it comes to breakfast, it’s a very personal meal. It’s the first meal of the day, the one you have at home, and people want it in a specific way! So I wanted to recreate that in a restaurant. “The idea was to make breakfast as personalized as possible, locally sourcing ingredients and making items such as mayo, sauces, and bread.
So why not make the dinnerware as well? Alyssa had been practicing pottery for over a year and had built a small studio at home, so they decided to get to work and create unique dinnerware using her skills. These included coffee mugs, bowls, plates, and ramekins. It was only natural to then open a small store inside the restaurant so that customers could take home their favorite mug or plate if they liked it. This is how Wyld Ceramics Studio was born. As AM-Breakfast all Day grew, so did the Studio, which now also offers custom pieces and pottery classes among other things.
AM – Breakfast all Day is quickly gaining popularity as a must-visit restaurant in Antigua, thanks to its familiar flavors, high-quality ingredients, great customer service, and a unique “build-your-own” menu. Many tourists who visit the restaurant rave about the experience, often saying they tried it once, loved it, ate elsewhere, regretted it, and then made AM – Breakfast all Day their breakfast spot for the rest of their trip.
If you’re in Antigua Guatemala and looking for a top-notch breakfast, AM – Breakfast all Day is the place to go. They’re open every day from 7 am and serve comfort food breakfast items, with local ingredients, presented in beautiful dishes and with spot-on flavors. We highly recommend trying their signature dish, the Build-Your-Own Croissant Sandwich.
