Check out these Top 5 Brunch spots where you can enjoy a glass of bubbly and a delicious mid-morning meal before heading out for a day of fun in the sun!
Strong Waters Craft Cocktails & Kitchen
Strong Waters Bar, a prohibition-era-inspired restaurant across from The Breakers Resort, is putting its own twist on brunch. They source their ingredients fresh, and locally, and utilize a ‘Farm to Table style approach to their menu. On it, you’ll find items like Lobster Benedict, Crispy Chicken Croissant, Strong Waters Shrimp & Grits, and Pork Belly Tacos. For those with a sweet tooth, try a Signature Stuffed Waffle or the Cast Iron Pancake – both stuffed to the brim with fresh fruit. Strong Waters is known for their swanky cocktails, so you’ll find them poppin’ plenty of bubbly for mimosas and pouring a little something extra into the local coffee they serve. They have Bottomless Mimosa specials and for those that wish to craft their own drink to sip at brunch, you can build your own bloody mary at their Blood Amazing Bar!
LuLu’s Cafe
If you’re driving down Ocean Boulevard, it’s hard to miss Lulu’s Cafe with its giant, colorful beach mural painted on the side of their building by local surf artist Drew Brophy. This little gem is a 1950s-style diner with a relaxed beach vibe. Offering both indoor and outdoor seating options, you can dine in the cafe atmosphere or enjoy glimpses of the ocean along with a breeze outdoors. And regardless of where you sit, you’ll feel right at home here as you sip coffee out of a mug from their eclectic collection of coffee cups. For those that prefer the breakfast part of brunch, you’ll choose from unique items like Banana Bread French Toast, Big Chicken Biscuit, or Green Eggs and Ham. Lunch items range from sandwiches like their Crab Cake Sandwich, and Chicken Avocado Club, to salads and seafood baskets. Or get the best of both worlds with their Breakfast Burger! Lulu’s Cafe has a full bar so you can toast with mimosas and bloody marys. And for the guys in the group – you can’t even try the ‘manmosa’ – their manly version of the mimosa that combines beer and orange juice!
