Today’s Inspiration: “Good food, good mood. Simple as that.”
Alright, let’s be real—brunch is the one meal where it’s completely acceptable to eat like you’ve been fasting for three days. And in Orlando, we take brunch pretty seriously. Whether you’re catching up with friends, hanging with your significant other (shout out to Kyle), or just in desperate need of pancakes and mimosas, this city has no shortage of spots to make your brunch dreams come true.
One of my all-time favorite places to kick off a weekend brunch? First Watch. Seriously, if you haven’t been, what are you doing with your life? I’m not even exaggerating when I say they make some of the freshest, most delicious dishes in town. Whether you’re into savory or sweet, they’ve got something for everyone. My go-to? The avocado toast. I know, I know, it’s basic, but it’s basically the best version of basic. And Kyle? He’s all about the banana granola crunch pancakes (trust me, he gets it every time). The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make it feel like a little brunch getaway without the need for a passport.
Let’s talk about Keke’s Breakfast Cafe for a minute. It’s the kind of place where you could easily go a few times a week and still find something new to love. From fluffy pancakes to their rich, decadent French toast, you’re in for a treat. And don’t even get me started on the hash browns—crispy, golden, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite is pure bliss. I love taking a slow Saturday morning and just indulging in everything this place has to offer. It’s a perfect spot for when you’re in the mood for something comforting but also a little fancy (because, hey, you deserve it).
Now, if you’re in the mood for something that’s a bit more low-key but with a whole lot of heart, The Blue Door should be on your list. This cute, tucked-away spot serves up French toast that’ll make you feel like you’ve entered brunch heaven. It’s cozy and casual with a homey vibe, so you can sit back, relax, and just enjoy your food. Their bloody mary? You’ll want to get two of those. Trust me, it’s THAT good.
Lastly, we can’t talk brunch without giving a shout-out to The Polite Pig at Disney Springs. Now, I know what you’re thinking—Disney Springs? At brunch? Yes, you can have a fab brunch there! This place is all about those down-home flavors, and the cocktails are top-notch. From hearty, savory plates to decadent brunch cocktails, it’s an absolute must-visit for when you want to eat like you’re living your best Disney dream.
So, whether you’re in the mood for fresh, health-conscious options, or you just want to go all out with waffles and bacon, these spots have got your brunch cravings covered. Brunch in Orlando isn’t just a meal—it’s a lifestyle. And who says we can’t make it extra while we’re at it? So go ahead, treat yourself to some pancakes, sip a mimosa, and embrace the beautiful chaos that is brunch time. Because in the end, it’s all about enjoying the moment—and let’s be real, good food always makes the mood better.
