Brunches opens near Oakhurst with mimosa towers and espresso martinis
Bubbles, coffee cocktails and three flavors of espresso martinis have arrived in the Oakhurst area, paired with classic breakfast options, A.M. burritos and bowls to get the day started.
North Carolina-based Brunches has finally made its way to Charlotte with a grand opening celebration planned for Tuesday and Wednesday. The first 100 people in the door will receive free food, and those who tag a friend on its Instagram post will be eligible to win an “even better” VIP experience.
“Come hungry, come early, and bring your people!,” the weekend Instagram post said.
Industry workers can get an even earlier look, with $3-$5 drink specials until 3 p.m. today.
The food at Brunches
Everything you’d expect to find at brunch is on the menu at Brunches, including pancakes, French toast, chicken and waffles, and more. Breakfast Tot-chos are layered with smoky bacon, queso, scrambled eggs, smashed avocado and pickled red onions.
Its bowls include shrimp and grits, and biscuits and gravy, and — of course — there are breakfast sandwiches. There’s also an eye-catching Brunches Burrito packed with fried chicken, waffle pieces, scrambled eggs and sausage gravy, finished with hot honey syrup.
If lunch is what you’re looking for, consider the Brunch Burger, Bangin’ Shrimp Tacos or Buffalo Mac & Cheese, Caesar salad or Southwest salad.
The beverages at Brunches
Brunches is all about bringing the party to daytime, with mimosas, mimosa flights and even mimosa towers, available in orange, cranberry, pineapple, peach and strawberry.
But, wait, there’s more.
You can also get specialty versions like the Cloud 9 with champagne and cotton candy, a Tequila Sunrise version or a Blue Lemon Drop or Creamscicle.
If bubbles aren’t your thing, there are also sweet coffee cocktails flavored like Reese’s, Snickers or Cinnamon Toast, espresso martini options with mocha and salted caramel or Bloody Marys.
Wilmington-based Brunches now has nine locations, including the Charlotte restaurant and one in Richmond, Virginia. Future locations are on the way in Atlanta, Dallas, Nashville and throughout the region.
The restaurant also offers takeout options, including lattes, juices and to-go mimosa kits.
