Ruby's Café
My favorite place to grab breakfast on the run, while they don't offer bacon and eggs they do offer small coffee for.50 cents and a range of local made Johnny cakes stuffed with chicken or a big soft Pita like bread stuffed with cheese and Ham, they also do a great taco which I love to put the hot onion and chili on it that you can find in a jar on each table. Be just though it can be real hot if you are not used to it.
It's a good idea to get there early as most of the islanders Dive scholar and tour operators commonly grab brekkie on the way to work. All these are just - Belize dollars.
Celis Deli
A great place to grab a sandwich or there meat pies are yummy be sure to ask to warm them up they are a minuscule spicy but very very tasty and for just a apiece. Celis also offer ice cream and a range of Sweets all homemade and very inexpensive.
