Best Brunch Spots in Aurora
Late breakfast, early lunch … whatever it is for you, isn’t brunch pure bliss?
It’s a lazy, lingering time to get your fill of sweet or savory treats, have an extra cup of joe or maybe even indulge in a mimosa or Bloody Mary without having to rush anywhere. While we’re not recommending you wear pajama pants, it’s one of those casual outings to share with others.
The French Press Café Bakery
15290 E. Iliff Avenue
Order a delicious coffee drink made from organic, fair-trade beans for a wake-up call and anticipate a large menu that ranges from the corned beef hash and spicy chorizo Bennies to almond tres leches French toast and build-your-own sammies, omelets, and crepes.
Three Little Griddles
6040 S. Gun Club Road
This family-owned restaurant brings in the weekend crowds for all sorts of traditional brunch fare and house-made cinnamon rolls, but things start getting a little outrageous with dishes like Nutella swirl pancakes, savory vegetarian pancakes, Elvis Toast (French toast smothered in peanut butter and topped with bacon and banana and drizzled with honey), and ebelskivers, which are Danish pancake “holes” filled with fudge, lemon or a seasonal selection.

2501 Dallas Street
Located in Stanley Marketplace, DBC is the only location serving brunch all day!
