Short answer
For breakfast near Millenia, Keke's Breakfast Cafe is the dependable answer - a full breakfast-and-brunch menu minutes from the mall, open from early morning. For a longer brunch, Brio's weekend service inside the mall is the trade-up, and Earls covers the late-morning bridge into lunch.
The Millenia breakfast reality
Millenia is a shopping district first, which shapes the breakfast scene: dependable full-service chains rather than indie cafes, easy parking everywhere, and kitchens that open before the mall does. That is not a complaint - when the plan is doors-open at the mall or the outlets, dependable-and-nearby wins.
Keke's Breakfast Cafe is the anchor pick: a breakfast-first menu (the stuffed french toast lane, omelets, big pancakes) served from early morning, minutes from the mall, with the kind of table service that gets a family fed and out in under an hour. Weekends fill by mid-morning - go before 9:30 or after the first rush.
For the slower weekend brunch, Brio inside the Mall at Millenia runs an Italian-leaning brunch service - the trade-up when breakfast is the event rather than the fuel stop. Earls Kitchen + Bar is the late-morning bridge: opens into lunch with a polished room that works when half the table wants breakfast food and half wants a burger.

Questions worth answering straight
What time do breakfast spots near Millenia open?
Keke's opens early morning (typically 7am), well before the Mall at Millenia's 10-11am doors - confirm the day's hours on the official site. In-mall options like Brio and Earls open with or near mall hours, so they suit brunch, not early breakfast.
Is there breakfast inside the Mall at Millenia?
Brunch more than breakfast: Brio's weekend brunch service is the main sit-down option inside the mall, plus the food-hall counters once doors open. For a true early breakfast, eat nearby first - Keke's is minutes away.
Where should I eat breakfast before the Orlando outlets?
Same answer - the Millenia pocket sits between the mall and the Vineland/International Drive outlet runs, so Keke's works as the pre-outlet fuel stop for either direction.
