Answer

If you’re planning to arrive around 9 AM at Curry Village on June 9, you’ll be in a great spot for breakfast. Parking can fill early, but by getting there around 9 AM, you usually still have a reasonable chance, especially on a Monday. Once you’re parked, you have a couple of convenient breakfast options very close by—though Yosemite’s dining has changed over the years, so it’s useful to know exactly what is currently offered.

For a classic breakfast with pancakes, scrambled eggs, and kid-friendly options, here are the best choices in the immediate Curry Village area and within a short drive. Note that some dining options focus on grab-and-go, while others offer full hot meals.

Curry Village Pavilion (Breakfast Buffet) – This is the most convenient and the closest option. The Pavilion typically offers a full breakfast buffet with hot items such as scrambled eggs, pancakes or French toast, sausage or bacon, fruit, cereals, and pastries. It is spacious, very kid-friendly, and designed to serve large volumes of visitors efficiently. This is your best bet for a complete hot breakfast without needing additional driving.
Curry Village Coffee Corner (Quick Option) – Located right next to the Pavilion, this grab-and-go spot serves pastries, snacks, and beverages. It does not offer hot breakfasts like pancakes or eggs, but if you needed something quick for the kids, it could be a useful backup.
Yosemite Valley Lodge – Base Camp Eatery (Short Drive Away) – If for some reason the Pavilion isn’t serving or you prefer something less buffet-style, this is the next closest full hot breakfast option. They typically offer pancakes, eggs, breakfast plates, and kid-friendly combinations. It’s about a 10–15 minute drive from Curry Village depending on traffic.

If your family strongly prefers a sit-down style meal rather than buffet or cafeteria-style dining, Yosemite Valley Lodge gives you the closest approximation. But for convenience, speed, and proximity to your parking plans, the Curry Village Pavilion will be the easiest and fastest option.

Once you finish breakfast, you’ll be well situated for the shuttle stops, trails, and general Valley activities without needing to move the car again—a big advantage on a busy June day.
