Who doesn’t love a delicious brunch? Meant to be enjoyed with family and/or friends, it’s the only meal that matters to many – especially on the weekend. Cleveland is filled with fabulous brunch choices – it’s just a matter of finding the one that bet suits your mood, location, and taste. The following are some of my local favorites. Enjoy!

pHuel Cafe

Located in the Theater district downtown pHuel is the perfect place to pop in if you are staying downtown and need a clean healthly brunch. Since both my apartment and office are within blocks I often order a Ginger Get Well Smoothie and Breakfast Sandwich to-go. There are healthy options or more traditional breakfast potatoes if you like options.

Bonbon Cafe

Surprisingly there are not many places open on the weekends in the early morning if you are looking for a place to grab breakfast at 8 a.m. but Bonbon is! Bonbon is not only a cafe but also a Pastry shop so you can grab a cupcake from a pastry chef who won on Cupcake Wars for home.

Le Petit Triangle Café

Is the perfect place enjoy brunch in a quite little cafe setting. Located in Ohio City you will have no problem to park close by and walk over. I do recommend calling before if possible there may be a small wait, but believe me it is worth it. The open kitchen concept is taken to a whole new level at Le Petit Triangle.

Jackflaps

There are two locations of this wonderful brunch spot. Downtown in the arcade and Ohio City. The Ohio City location becomes very popular on the weekends, so they offer communal seating in order to keep the line moving fast. With that said Jackflaps is not where you should try to go with a large group. Both locations are in a walkable area so you can put your name in - wander the shops in the arcade and get seated. There are both sweet and savory options. Personal favorite would be the Graham Cracker Waffle.

Market

Worth the trip to the west side of Cleveland Market located in Rocky River has a beautiful patio in the summer and a cozy warm wooden feel for traditional seating. Market is the perfect place to grab Mimosas and brunch with your girlfriends.

Now that we have worked our way all over Cleveland with my favorite brunch spots, let me know if I have somewhere that may need honorable mentions for next time! Hope you are able to check out one of my favorites and enjoy the wonderful brunch Cleveland has to offer!

Happy Brunching!
