The Water Street Cooker
One of our favorite places for brunch is The Water Street Cooker. If you haven’t been here before, you don’t know what you’re missing with their beautiful lake views and amazing buffet brunch.

Each adult also gets to enjoy a mimosa included in the price.
Pepperwood Bistro
If live music and a great meal is your thing, then make sure you put the Pepperwood Bistro on your list for brunch! Brunch is served on weekends from 10:30-2:00 and you can enjoy their breakfast flatbreads, Rise ‘N Shine Tacos, Hang Over Burger or their Brunch Platter for 2 which includes peameal eggs benedict, waffles, sausage, bacon and more!

They offer lots of variety for breakfast including the Classic Breakfast, Steak & Eggs, a large selection of Omelettes, pancakes, french toast and much more!

Saving Thyme Catering & Patisserie
If you have not tried one of their croissants or scones I kid you not – you do not know what you are missing! They are melt-in-your-mouth delicious and we are glad they are on the opposite side of town to our office or we would be eating them by the hour. This is a cute little patisserie with limited seating (but we hear they are expanding!) that is quaint and inviting. They are open Tuesday to Friday 9 am-6 pm and weekends 8am-4pm. Enjoy eggs benedict, seasonal vegetable crepes or their house granola to name a few. Or sit and sip a coffee while indulging in one of their amazing baked goods. Whatever you choose, you can’t go wrong!
Denningers Bitehaus Bistro
This new store that opened at Burlington Mall offers an all-day breakfast menu that includes items like a Hearty Breakfast with 2 eggs, bacon, back bacon or sausage as a side, plus home fries and toast. Other regular breakfast items is their peameal bacon sandwich and western omelette sandwich.
