Best Brunch in Seminole Heights

This is the place for an authentic café experience. Get there before the Seminole Heights location closes April 7 for mouth-watering homemade options like the sconewich: Irish cheddar, bacon, and asiago with two eggs (any style) on top. The quiche selection changes daily, so be sure to ask!

Baguettes, omelets, and croissants offer a variety with different meat, cheeses, and veggie topping options. Jack’s French Toast comes with freshly-made orange zest honey butter. Of course, a café with espresso in its name must serve coffee, and that, it does! They offer specialty coffees galore as well as teas and smoothies. Brunch served daily until 4 p.m.

Among an array of sides from which to choose is the sweet biscuit debris consisting of powdered sugar, fried biscuit bits, and jam. It’s limited in supply, however, so get there before it’s gone! As far as drinks go, the manmosa- a pint-size version of the classic mimosa– is highly recommended.

Going strong since 2005, this craft beer establishment serves brunch daily until 3 p.m. A couple of German-style include the leberkäse and egg sandwich, which consists of pressed veal loaf and spicy German mustard, and then there's the Bavarian breakfast, a German brat with German mustard and, of course, a Bavarian soft pretzel. There’s also green eggs and ham, breakfast tacos, and assorted local baked goods. Craft beer is always on tap for those who like to get started early.

And who can deny chicken ‘n’ waffles? The chicken is fried in buttermilk and arrives at your table atop an orange vanilla Belgian waffle with chipotle honey, whipped sweet butter, and everyone’s favorite Canadian maple syrup. Since it’s The C House, side items are referred to as “complements” and offer cheese grits, candied bacon, country sausage, chef’s breakfast potatoes, and country wheat toast.
