My favorite brunch places
Broder Café
2508 SE Clinton StDefinitely a local favorite and worth the wait
Funky dark space themed dive bar inside but have a large covered outdoor area with picnic tables and lots of heaters. Genies is connected with space room so you order at bar
Fun place to go at night too but it’s definitely a local spot…not upscale.
