What are weekends for, if not for long, lazy brunches with friends?

When staying in Newport Beach, you’ll find that the locals know how to pull out all the stops when it comes to delicious food and endless mimosas. We’re here to break down all your delightful options, so you get the exact kind of brunch you’re looking for!

Bottom’s Up! The Bottomless Mimosa Breakdown

Let’s be honest – sometimes, brunch is all about the bottomless drink options. And when you have the whole day to spend with friends and family, who wants the fun to end?

The Alley Restaurant & Bar

For just $10, enjoy bottomless mimosas on this saloon-style restaurant’s patio. Pets are welcome too and there’s even a brunch menu for your furry friends!

The Cannery Seafood of the Pacific

How about a seafood spin on brunch? At the Cannery, the bayfront location is enhanced by entrees like crab cakes, lobster rolls, and ceviche. $15 bottomless champagne and blackberry lemonade seltzers are simply the cherry on top. The kids menu and the option to dock and dine are nice perks, too.

Mama’s Comfort Food and Cocktails

At Mama’s, you find an extensive menu of comforting and festive foods. Try the pulled pork nachos, or burgers with bottomless fries. Want a more traditional breakfast? They’ve got that too! And if brunching can’t happen on the weekend, Mama’s has you covered with bottomless “mamosas” offered 7 days a week until 3:00. Top it off with a scoop or two or classic Thrifty’s ice cream and you’ve got yourself a perfect lazy afternoon.  2601 W Coast Hwy, Newport Beach, CA 92663  |  WEBSITE

 

Orange County Snow and S

The Lighthouse Cafe

Gimme the View

Newport Beach is more water than land, so it’s easy to find a brunch spot with views of the harbor. And trust us: pancakes taste even better while watching the sailboats drift lazily by. 

Shorebird

Shorebird boasts a large bayfront patio that is almost as chic as their menu reserved exclusively for brunch items. Treat yourself to oysters on the half shell or Maryland Crab Eggs Benedict. They even have you covered with a 90 min bottomless mimosa special. Cheers to fine dining on Sundays!
2220 Newport Blvd Newport Beach, CA 92663  |  WEBSITE

Lighthouse Cafe

The Lighthouse Cafe serves a killer brunch from 8:00-4:00pm from a larger-than-life lighthouse overlooking the bay. Whether feasting on their ground floor patio or their second-level deck, you have to experience their cinnamon sugar beignets and Bloody Mary’s with all the extra fixings. Be sure to get a reservation because this place consistently gets a crowd! 
1600 W Balboa Blvd, Newport Beach, CA 92663  |  WEBSITE

Tavern House

Situated right on the bay, the Tavern House is a visual delight inside and out. Soak up the sun and lively ambiance while digging into their juicy Prime Rib Dip or Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Malted Waffles. There’s even a 90 min unlimited mimosa special to keep spirits as high as the seagulls flying overhead.

Hold the Booze, I’m Here for the Food

These brunch spots don’t hold back on serving the most delicious breakfast food. And while calories don’t count on weekends, these restaurants totally make the splurge worth it!

Haute Cakes Caffe

Haute Cakes doesn’t mess around with breakfast, which is probably why it’s been a local favorite since the 90’s. And if you’re joining the crowds of people who flock here on Sundays, you can forget about lunch options. Haute Cakes is strictly breakfast from 8:00-3:00 on Sundays. Pancake stacks, here we come!

Toast Kitchen & Bakery

Toast is all about unique, and playful dishes that set them apart from your typical brunch joint. You can choose from speciality items like their Korean barbecue burrito or chocolate-covered strawberry pancakes. They even have fun drinks like a champagne flight with different fresh fruit juice mixers. Is it time for brunch yet?

Bosscat Kitchen & Libations

Don’t let the suave furnishings fool you – Bosscat is known for their playful take on breakfast favorites. Their Fruity Pebbles French Toast will be a favorite for your taste buds and Instagram feed. The Donut Burger is simply heaven on a plate while their drinks are quite devilish. Picture this: maple bourbon, orange juice, and bacon wrapped up in one fiery Breakfast in Bed Shot! And if you want to cut out the mimosa and michelada options, they have a floor to ceiling whiskey library to choose from. Bottom’s up!
