Ava - There are a few amazing options at this Italian haven! Try the Tiramisu French Toast!! Imagine a mascarpone stuffed brioche bread topped with a coffee chocolate sauce. If dessert for brekfast isn’t your deal, try the House Italian Benedict. This poached egg is complemented with pancetta and hollandaise and paired with a house made biscuit.

Cask Social Kitchen - Cask is located in the SoHo district of Tampa that brings you a brunch with a little southern flare. The Breakfast Tacos are highly recommended.

Elevated kitchen bar dining, open air mixologist bar, Florida patio, and Bay views! The macadamia nut pancakes and buttermilk Belgian waffles are amazing!

Daily Eats - Daily Eats offers a food and drink menu full of delicious concoctions and pairings, ranging from a Cap’N Crunch hand churned milkshake to a Blueberry Mimosa! This spot is our favorite among the Ciccios Group of restaurants for brunch. A staff favorite would be The Gigante, two eggs with applewood smoked bacon and whole wheat buttermilk pancakes!

Datz - Datz is one of Tampa’s most popular and irreverent spots! Their social media ingenuity is only matched by the creativity with which they craft each of their dishes.
