Coffee or Juice? Finding Your Perfect NA Brunch Beverage Pairing at Brunch Café

Brunch Café offers more than just delicious dishes. It’s a celebration of flavor, community, and that perfect non‑alcoholic brunch experience. With a diverse menu ranging from decadent pancakes to savory skillets and fresh‑pressed juices, choosing the right beverage can elevate your brunch to a true flavor journey.

1. Classic Coffee with Comfort Favorites

Espresso & Lattes

Cappuccino or Latte pairs beautifully with the rich “French Toast Frenzy” options like Apple‑Bread or Cinnamon‑Roll French Toast. The creamy espresso balances the warm sweetness and custard-style bread.

Mocha or Caramel Latte complements indulgent pancakes like the Black + White or Carrot‑Cake pancakes—the sweetness and chocolate or caramel notes bring dessert-like harmony to your meal.

Americano & Black Coffee

A bold Americano or black drip brew cuts through the hearty flavors of the “Egg’squisite Skillets,” especially the Steak or Meat + Potato versions. The clean, strong coffee base balances savory richness.

Cold Brew

Smooth and refreshing, the cold brew is perfect with lighter fare like the Avocado Toast or Salmon Toast. Its mild intensity won’t overpower the avocado, smoked salmon, and capers.

2. Fresh Juices & Cold-Pressed Options

Classic Juices

Fresh‑squeezed OJ is a natural match for the “Breakfast Burrito” or “South of the Border” plates. The citrus zing refreshes after creamy eggs, chorizo, and avocado.

Apple or Cranberry Juice works well alongside sweeter dishes like the Strawberry‑Cheesecake pancakes or berry-topped crepes, enhancing sweetness without masking it.

Cold-Pressed Juices (Addison, Kildeer, St. Charles only)

Root Root Baby (ginger, carrot, celery) pairs with the veggie or Garden Omelets—its earthy, refreshing notes highlight fresh produce flavors.

We’ve Got the Beet (beet, apple, lemon, carrot) is ideal with protein-rich dishes like the Salmon Benedict or Steak & Arugula Skillet—adding brightness and cleansing the palate.

Sonny + Cheer (pineapple, orange, lemon, turmeric) is a tropical treat with lighter breakfast fare like the stuffed crêpes or Greek yogurt parfait.
