This is our absolute favorite place to go for brunch! Its interior is just as bright and colorful as the exterior and the menu has plenty of options for different dietary needs and palates. Though there tends to be a wait during peak hours, it is well worth it!

Sightseeing

Sabathani Community Center was once Bryant Junior High School, where the late Prince attended school. There is a small museum in his honor on the 3rd floor. Sabathani now hosts a number of community events, services and nonprofit offices. The building is often closed on the weekends, so try to stop by during the week if you want to check out the Prince museum.
