Where To Brunch?
A decision tree for tasty mornings across the 30A
It’s a Sunday morning.
You and your closest friends are feeling hungry. Are you thirsty, too?
Fonville Press
Alys Beach
Right off of 30A, the cheerful Fonville Press Market + Cafe serves refreshing breakfast and lunch options all day. Check out the unique bevvies on the “Day Drinking” menu, like the Aperol Betty, Grapefruit Spicy Margarita, or Clockwork Orange.
Bitterroot
Destin
This farm-to-table concept is the way to go for hearty, earthy plates like the Proper Southern breakfast, Coastal Cowboy Sando, or Savory Bread Pudding. Wash it all down with a bottomless mimosa, Spiked Arnold, or Hugo Spritz.
Commelfó
Miramar Beach
Celebrating something special, or just looking to elevate the weekend? Commelfó serves upscale versions of favorites like the Croque Madam and Steak and Eggs. Pitchers of flavored mimosas will keep the conversation flowing.
The Citizen
Alys Beach
“Life is an Adventure,” the menu says at The Citizen, so try oysters for brunch. Or go for one of the Southern or Mediterranean-inspired dishes and a stylish, creative cocktail in this sleek brunch escape.
The Pearl -Havana Beach Bar
Rosemary Beach
Havana Beach Bar at The Pearl lives up to its name. You’ll journey to Cuba via bold breakfast choices like the Pollo Frito Cubano and Mojo Pork Empanadas. The supporting lineup includes classic A.M. options and refreshing cocktails.
Black Bear Bread Co.
Santa Rosa Beach
If a healthy serving of carbs and caffeine sounds right for brunch, come out of hibernation for Black Bear Bread Co. For something heartier than a donut or croissant, you’ll also find breakfast sandwiches and other essentials.
Stinky’s Fish Camp
Santa Rosa Beach
A weekend on the water couldn’t find a better complement than an easygoing brunch on the water. Refuel post-adventure with a selection of benedicts, omelettes, and more—maybe even a Bloody Mary with fresh shrimp.
Great Southern Cafe
Santa Rosa Beach
Sprawl out under the big green umbrellas, watch the beachgoers stroll down Central Square, and grab a filling breakfast like Southern Debris Biscuits, Grits á Ya Ya, Lobster Benedict, or Chicken & Waffles.
2 Birds Coffee + Cafe
Miramar Beach
A cafe where coffee lovers come to eat. The cold brew and seasonal lattes might take center stage, but the bowls, fancy toasts, and other breakfast favorites are close competition. A must-visit for vegetarian and gluten-free options.
