A wise woman once said, there’s nothing lovelier than brunch, where you can sleep until noon and still get eggs anywhere. In Cape Girardeau, we’re fortunate there’s way more on the menu than eggs. Therefore, we humbly offer you the most Cape Girardeau places to get your brunch on.
My Daddy’s Cheesecake
This café and bakery is a Cape Girardeau icon. While it’s open for breakfast, on the weekends, you’ll only find a Saturday option. That doesn’t mean you should skip it though. With selections from breakfast meals to omelets and a la carte, you have variety at My Daddy’s Cheesecake. Brunch will not be served during the lunch hour, but if you're an early riser it is worth it.
Sands Pancake House
Sometimes you need a good diner. Sands Pancake House has been making pancakes for Cape Girardeau since the 1960s. The ‘cakes are homemade and from a secret recipe. P.S. They’re as big as the plate, too. Prices are affordable. Breakfast is served every day until 2 p.m.
Minglewood
Minglewood offers Sunday brunch, and we can honestly say, the only bad part of the experience is deciding which one thing to order. They’ve taken their famous pizzas and given a breakfast twist. What else? Slinger Bowls to get all your breakfast desires in one container. Traditional plates featuring savory buttermilk biscuits, breakfast sandwiches from standard eggs to chicken and waffles dish that is to die for. What’s even better? When the weather’s great, you can enjoy on the patio!
Mary Jane Bourbon + Smokehouse
Mary Jane's has become a Cape Girardeau classic, and for good reason. From 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. on the weekends, they serve brunch with old and new-school options.
