Whether you’ve been to Brunch Cafe a dozen times or you’re walking through our doors for the first time, we’re glad you’re here. We’ve got something for everyone on our menu, but sometimes you need a little help to make the most of the experience. Here’s how to do that.
Brunch is a social meal, and that’s half the point. The best experiences happen when you’re ordering with a group for sharing. Someone gets the Blueberry Bliss Pancakes, someone else orders a savory panini, and suddenly you’ve got a real spread in front of you. Don’t be rigid about what you “always get.”
A Bloody Mary or a mimosa sets the pace of your meal. At Brunch Cafe, the Bloodys come stacked (bacon, olives, the works), so treat yours like a small course in itself. If you’re not drinking, ask about our house juices. Either way, don’t wait until your food arrives to figure it out.
Most people scan straight down a menu looking for the thing they almost always get. Try reading across categories instead. Maybe pair a cup of the homemade soup with a gourmet burger. Our is broad enough that you can create a genuinely interesting meal if you’re willing to mix it up a little.
The stretch between when your food arrives and when you think about dessert or a second coffee is the best part. Resist the pull to check your phone every few minutes. Brunch exists to slow things down. Let it.
Sometimes you want a full production, but that’s not always the case. We can handle anything you throw at us. Walk in knowing which version of brunch you’re after, and you’ll make better decisions about everything from where you sit to what you order.
This sounds obvious, but brunch tends to front-load your appetite. Instead of ordering multiple items right away, order incrementally. See how the first round goes and then order something else if you’re still hungry. The kitchen’s not going anywhere.
