Just had brunch at Brad's and the thing that impressed me the most is the space. It's full of natural light and the kind of place that I would love to come in the winter, just to get a shot of sunshine while still staying warm. Other reviews have said it can get very hot but today was pre-rain cool outside. so the cafe was perfect.
I have no complaints about Brads, but wasn't blown away by the food, either. They have a large brunch menu that includes lots of different sweet and savoury items. We all went for savoury and nothing disappointed. The veggie omelet with rapini, tomatoes and chevre was tasty. Eggs benedict with smoked salmon was reportedly delicious, as were the sausages (according to my friend). The savoury crepe (with cheese and veggies) was also quite good, although I wish they hadn't served the side salad on the same place as a hot crepe dish that they just took out of the oven. It made the salad greens hot and wilted. Also, my husband remarked that he would have loved a slightly larger portion.
Service was perfectly good and the wait for coffee and food was standard. The server checked in with us and brought around coffee twice.
I would highly recommend Brad's as a place to go when you are craving sunlight and a warm, slow-paced meal.
Vegetarian score: 7.5/10. Slightly better than average brunch offerings for non-meat eaters.
