Beautiful Kitchen Breakfast Bars to Copycat

Your breakfast bar is often the centerpiece of the kitchen. Not only is it the focal point of the entire room, but it's where you entertain and share meals with your loved ones. The idea of the "social kitchen" is incredibly popular, so if you have space to add a breakfast bar, there's a good chance you will. Even if you have a small kitchen, you can probably add a breakfast bar for two.

Here we've rounded up some of the best breakfast bar ideas for every style of kitchen.
