What’s better than brunch? Slow-going Saturday and Sunday mornings are only made better by the smell of freshly brewed coffee and thick, fluffy pancakes. 🥞 Frisco offers some pretty incredible brunch.

At The Aussie Grind you can call brunch, “breaky”! Expect Australian style hospitality and cuisine with adorable koala logo’d cups. One of my favorite parts of The Aussie Grind is that they do text to order with curbside! This is a great COVID conscious way to get a delicious latte on the go.
💰 PRICE POINT: $$
You can get a latte here for about the same as Starbucks, but better, and a great meal for about $15. #WORTH
❣️ WHAT I’D ORDER:
The breaky gnocchi made from hand rolled potato gnocchi, fried with sautėed bacon, spanish onion and sage, tossed through baby spinach with freshly grated parmesan and two poached eggs 🍳 and a vanilla cold brew with oat milk. 🤪

Forget the alarm all together if you are planning on going to Tupelo Honey, because they offer ALL-DAY BRUNCH and the best southern comfort food in town!

In true southern style I would get the fried chicken and biscuits 😍 with a sweet & tart mimosa! Sounds so good right now.
🍳 QUALITY OF FOOD: 10/10
What I can say is…southern comfort food goals. 🙌🏻

The place features deep, rich wood for a homey feel and comforting atmosphere. You can dress up a bit or go in casual. Of course, as I mentioned, it is also located in The Star, one of Frisco’s finest areas, so it promises to meet your standards for class.

The price point here is based more off of what you choose, but similar to the past three places. You can expect to spend about $12-$20 per head.
❣️ WHAT I’D ORDER:
Farm stand breakfast tacos with three wheat corn tortillas, scrambled eggs, cajun chicken, chorizo, cheddar and monterey jack cheeses all topped with fresh avocado and housemade pico de gallo 😍 and a morning glory featuring vodka, orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger and agave nectar. 😉
🍳 QUALITY OF FOOD: 10/10
You can choose this spot if you want to stay incredibly healthy or if you want to smash a hearty and savory breakfast. Their nutrition facts are listed on the website and you are given stats for everything. 👏🏻
📸 ATMOSPHERE/INSTAGRAMABLE-NESS: 9/10
Just because it is less about Instagram and more about atmosphere and good tasting food here. I will say that it gets VERY busy on the weekends and I don’t recommend assuming you will be able to comfortably take a lot of pictures. Use their waitlist app to get on the list BEFORE you arrive. It will save you time. 👌🏼

5th Street Patio Cafe is located in the heart of Downtown Frisco. It is a fabulous option if you want more of a laid back feel while receiving the same incredible level of service and food. It is dog-friendly as well, which is ALWAYS points in my book. 😊

A STEAL in Frisco. You will get more bang for your buck at 5th Street, and more of a local feel. Win-win!
❣️ WHAT I’D ORDER:
Buttermilk pancakes with bananas, blueberries or chocolate chips 🥞 with a side of applewood smoked bacon and cheddar grits! 🥓
🍳 QUALITY OF FOOD: 10/10
Don’t let the lower price point fool you. Their food is absolutely delish!
📸 ATMOSPHERE/INSTAGRAMABLE-NESS: 10/10
Possibly the winner of instagrammable-ness, at least for me. Because it is nestled in a historic house, the vibes are immaculate. You will feel at home. The patio is a perfect place to get cute brunch pictures with your friends both human and furry. 🐶
Whichever place you choose, you are sure to be full all the way until dinner! These brunch spots made it on my top 5 list for a reason after all!
