1. Early To Rise

Posted by Early to Rise on Thursday, 28 March 2019

A five-course brunch at a simple, family-like set-up is what makes Early To Rise special. The ingredients, from the bagels to the whipped creme fraiche and to the butter, all are churned in-house, and the fruits and vegetables are as fresh and seasonal as they can be. From the grits and roasted spring vegetables all the way through the eggs Hemingway and strawberry-pistachio pancakes, everything is made extremely thoughtful and very tasty. If you are into mimosa, the bottomless greyhound spritzers should make you happy. They also serve vegetarian and gluten-free varieties. Their Apricot French toast and smoked salmon with ricotta are highly recommended.
