The Brunchery

"Love Hard, Brunch Harder."

For my next blog post, I wanted to discuss my all-time favorite meal of any given day: brunch. I tend to be a late sleeper, and brunch always seems to be the best option for my eating habits. Also, not to mention the fact that I can consume twice as many calories and not feel as bad about myself because it is the equivalent to “two meals.” Anyways, I enjoy having the option to order breakfast or lunch within the same sitting because for one, I am indecisive, but also, the versatility of brunch menus seem to be endless! I am a brunch fanatic because there are many meals that I wish to try on any typical brunch menu, which keeps me coming back to my favorite places for different experiences each time. With that being said, if you or someone you know enjoy a good brunch as much as I do, Brunchery is the place to go! Hands down, one of my favorite places to brunch at. I find it to be one of the most affordable, as well.

Brunchery is relatively new to certain areas (such as where I live), but their first location has been around and serving since 1985. The location that I frequently visit is in New Tampa, but I know of at least two other locations within driving distance. However, the pain point that I see this restaurant facing is the fact that it is not clear-cut to search online, and it lacks the ability to find locations easily through Google. With the inability to quickly access their establishment through online search, it could potentially lead to minimal awareness. In fact, the only reason I started going there is because I passed it one day while driving. I tried searching Brunchery out of pure curiosity, and I had a hard time identifying which restaurant was theirs, as the name can be easily confused with similar establishments. Actually, I ended up going there without knowing much about them. However, they do utilize their Facebook page to serve the public with kind words and inviting aesthetics. I will provide the link to their page below.

Aside from that, once aware of the location and the quality of the breakfast and lunch foods provided, it keeps you coming back. Not only will you want to attend the restaurant frequently, but it seems that you will be leaving with a box nearly full of food to take home each time. The portions that Brunchery offers for their meals could pretty much feed two people because they are huge! Let’s put it this way, the cooks do a good job to make sure you are well-fed, incredibly satisfied, and not feeling skimped in the slightest. Brunchery has the cutest feel and set-up that you cannot help but be excited by when first walking in the door. There are many signs on the wall that are warm and welcoming, and it is staged to look like a “vintage” cafe environment. The colors that are seen throughout the restaurant are primarily black, white, and tan, which seems to give this establishment an elegant appearance. The staff have uniforms that incorporate funky shirts with pictures of chicken and eggs, including ironic sayings, such as “bro, is that you?”

I went to this location for Valentine’s Day brunch, along with many other times. From my experience, I have noticed that even on their busiest day, the staff is extremely friendly, well-mannered, and offer consistent, timely service. As mentioned above, the price is affordable, and the portions are generous. On the unfortunate side of things, this is not a place that you would go for a bloody Mary or mimosa because they do not offer alcohol. However, the quality of their food is so good that you will not be missing out on drinking for the occasion. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone that loves brunch food, and especially eggs benedict, as much as I do! I do not believe anyone would be disappointed after going there.
