The Lakeshore Café is a GREAT place to get a Weekend Brunch. Whether it be Saturday or Sunday they have an amazing menu and specials on Mimosas. Yes, that’s right $2 Mimosas! Well $1.95 to be exact. They serve both Orange and Strawberry. The brunch special goes from 10am till 4pm both days. This is located on Lake Shore Avenue in the Grand Lake area of Lake Merritt right across from Trader Joe’s near the Saturday Farmers Market.
They have an amazing staff, very friendly and quick. They’re always smiling, nice and personable. The food is A+++ and you can leave with a nice bubbly buzz all for under $30 for 2 people. While it may look like a long wait you typically wait no longer than 10 minutes. They have a lot of seating and also a small out door patio as well as sidewalk seating. Just Do It! Check them out!
*update* I have a link to their site and an image from their site but it seems they do not have a real hosting company because it is always down and always says bandwidth exceeded. How sad. You should just go, trust me it’ll be good.
I suggest the Tequila Sausage Scramble and some Strawberry Mimosas.
