Whoever invented breakfast clearly didn’t have a 9-5 job. Who has time for breakfast before work when you can have an extra 20 minutes snoozing in bed? Anyway wasn’t brunch invented for those who don’t have time for brekkie in the morning but don’t want to miss the opportunity on indulging in breakfast-y foods? I mean, slap a plate of waffles slathered in maple syrup in front of me any day and I’ll be happy. Throw in a ball pit or some Disney belters and you’ve got yourself the ultimate brunch party!
Without further ado, we’ve whittled down a few of our favourite themed brunch haunts around the city especially for you. Did someone say pancakes?
