Tres Leches Pancakes and Chilaquiles with Mimosas

Breakfast Tacos

BAJA CANTINA AND FIESTA

If you’re looking for a relaxed vibe, Baja Cantina is a perfect choice! The atmosphere, along with their menu, which features a blend of Mexican, Latin, and California cultures, is the perfect family brunch spot. This is especially true for those with smaller children that may not be ready for a full sit-down restaurant experience. They even have a special Baja Kids Brunch which offers a mickey mouse pancake! Their weekend brunch offers a bit of everything for adults; one of my favorites is the tres leches pancakes. Other items include volcano chilaquiles, chorizo benedict, and a variety of breakfast tacos, burritos, and tortas. And yes, they offer bottomless mimosas!

 

CRU - A WINE BAR

Savor and sip at CRU, where you can enjoy a mimosa or bellini by the glass or carafe! Their Sunday Brunch menu features a selection of savory options with dessert. Favorites include mini Belgian waffles, goat cheese beignets, crab cake benedict, or the fig & gorgonzola bruschetta. CRU also offers Lavazza french press coffee, which goes perfectly with their crème brulee, tiramisu, or lava cake. Located in Market Street, you can easily enjoy a meal and get in a little shopping-cardio afterward.

THE KITCHEN

When it comes to brunching, The Kitchen does it right! From a selection of benedicts to their famous cinnamon roll pancake, bananas foster french toast or breakfast migas, they have a solid brunch menu! If you prefer drinks with your brunch, try the mimosa flight, which includes three house-made mimosa flavors made with sparkling wine. 

Insider Tip: The Kitchen also offers a weekday breakfast menu, which is a slightly reduced version of their weekend brunch. You can dine at The Kitchen six days a week and enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Plan ahead, The Kitchen is closed on Mondays, I suggest trying Black Walnut Cafe for a similar vibe and menu.
