Seasonal Brunch Favorites: What to Eat (and Sip) This Summer

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy a leisurely brunch with fresh flavors, cool drinks, and vibrant dishes that reflect the season. At Brunch Café, our menu is packed with options that taste like summer, whether you’re craving something light and refreshing or sweet and indulgent. From berry-topped pancakes to cold-pressed juices and iced espresso drinks, here are some seasonal brunch favorites you’ll want to eat (and sip) all summer long.

Bright, Fresh, and Fruity

Summer means berries, and lots of them. Brunch Café’s Stuffed French Toast, filled with sweet cream cheese and topped with strawberries, blueberries, and powdered sugar, hits all the right notes. It’s rich yet refreshing and pairs beautifully with a side of turkey sausage or fresh fruit for balance.

For pancake lovers, the Strawberry-Cheesecake Pancakes are a must-try. With real strawberries and cheesecake drizzle, it’s a summer dessert disguised as breakfast. Prefer something classic? Go with the Banana Pancakes or the Berry Belgian Waffle, topped with fresh whipped cream and seasonal fruit for a bright, satisfying brunch that feels like a treat.

Lighter Fare with a Summer Twist

If you’re looking for something on the lighter side, the Avocado Toast is a top pick. Served on multi-grain bread and topped with fresh avocado, tomato, and arugula, it’s simple, satisfying, and full of healthy summer energy.

The Greek Salad Wrap and Southwest Salad are great lunch-style options that keep things cool and colorful. For protein-packed brunch fuel, try the Salmon Toast or Power Breakfast, a brilliant combo of egg whites, turkey sausage, fruit, and toast that keeps you energized for whatever the day brings.

Sip Something Cool

Summer calls for fresh-squeezed juice, and Brunch Café delivers. Our orange juice is made fresh daily and is a great way to start a sun-soaked morning.

Visiting the Addison, Kildeer, or St. Charles locations? You’ll also find cold-pressed juices like:

  • Sonny + Cheer (pineapple, orange, lemon, turmeric): bright, citrusy, and energizing.
  • We’ve Got the Beet (beet, apple, lemon, carrot): earthy and naturally sweet, great with salmon or veggie dishes.
  • Root Root Baby (carrot, celery, ginger): a zesty boost for any light entrée.

And don’t forget an iced latte or cold brew for that perfect chilled caffeine kick on a warm day.

Make It a Summer to Savor

Whether you’re brunching on a sunny patio or cooling off indoors, Brunch Café offers everything you need to enjoy the season, one bite (and one sip) at a time.
