The grits were cooked perfectly with a nice thick texture and nicely salted. I was amazed at the portion of bacon that came in the wrap and the chicken was seasoned well. Big portion and worth the money. I appreciate the fact that it's open seating without a traditional host stand. The dining room is causal, colorful, cozy, and well lit. One of my new breakfast favorites in Raleigh. The location is convenient to hotels downtown for business or leisure travelers looking for a quality bite to eat to start their day. Overall 9/10.

Drinks: I ordered a matcha latte, iced with oat milk. I knew it was a mistake as I watched them make it and the match came out of a squeeze bottle. My mom ordered hot black coffee, claiming it tasted burnt and was undrinkable. Mains: I ordered the strawberries & cream pancakes which came with three extremely tiny pancakes, that tasted like whole wheat. The "fresh jam" was overly sugared and had a smoothie like consistency. For $16 I was hungry and disappointed. My mom ordered the grain and egg bowl, wait it was underwhelming. Shocked there are so many positive reviews.

The space is super light, airy, and gives off that laid-back coastal vibe that makes you want to stay a while. The menu leans into that "wellness but still indulgent" balance. everything I tasted was fresh and thoughtfully made. The coffee was a standout too, smooth and not overly sweet, which I personally loved. A lot of people come here for the breakfast burritos, pancakes, and specialty lattes, so it's a solid brunch option if you want something a little elevated from the usual rotation. Service was friendly and pretty quick, even when it got busy, which I appreciated. It does get packed, especially on weekends, so just be ready for a bit of a wait.

Paris was amazing, she gave me the run down of some of their most popular menu items. I ordered the Union Special Breakfast Sandwich , a Honey Lavender Latte & a Twice Baked Pecan Croissant. Everything was absolutely delicious. It's hard to find a really great lavender latter, but no longer, it was perfect. The croissant was like nothing I've ever tasted, every bite amazing. The Union Special was definitely that. It's a scrambled egg, fontina cheese, hash brown & romesco (roasted red pepper hummus) sandwiched between their spectacular freshly made brioche bun. So many people were coming in shortly after I arrived. I sat and worked there for about an hour and a half and it was pretty steady!!! There's maybe 5 tables inside, with a really long high top bar up against the window with seating for about 10 - 12 people. There's also several tables outside on their patio. I love that their bakery is visible through a window, they do some amazing work in there! I'll definitely be back.

The…read morespiced were well strained or finely ground, so there was no gritty taste or overly spices settling to the bottom. It was smooth and creamy. The Strawberry Danish was good as well. Flaky croissant twist with savory sweet cream and sweet fresh strawberries in the middle. Only con would be to have a more filling of the cream and strawberries compared to the croissant twist. But still good to have as a quick breakfast or snack for later. I also got the chicken sandwich too! Would highly recommend that. You get a fried chicken cutlet topped with melted American cheese, on a bed of shredded lettuce and cucumber. It came out piping hot. It was crispy, crunchy, savory, but with the fresh veggies it gave it a slight freshness to it as well. It was well balanced. Ambiance: it's a great brunch place and quiet for just doing some work as well. I wouldn't say it's a study place or office/bookish place as it is a bit echo-y and the seating is not soft and comfy. But for a quick bite and brunch during a work lunch break, this is your spot. Maybe a great place for first casual day date! Lol Service: everyone was friendly and service was quick. You order and the counter, they give you a number and bring your food to you. Overall no problems or concerns! Overall I would go there again if I'm in the area. The location is a bit out of my way and can be difficult to navigate if it's your first time. The roads rear off to another many times. So be sure to keep and eye on the road and the signs. The hours of operation was a bit hard for me as I tried to get there before my work at 8am but they don't open till 8am and then they close right before business hours end as well so had to get there before 3pm too. So I can see why they may be a quiet place most of the time. But if you get there and go the food and drinks are good.

It never ceases to amaze me how crowded Brigs is when we come here because it's so popular is but they had a table ready for us in 15 mins. Sometimes a large group of us will go to the Raleigh location after church on Sundays for a coastal Benedict or two. This time I had to be near Duke this morning so met a friend at the Cary location. We love BRIGS! Never fails to be delicious surrounded by friendly, smiling by faces. Pictures is the crab cakes Benedict and corned beef hash egg basket.

The staff was nice, all smiles. The menu had a nice variety of food. They also offer adult beverages, as well as a bar. Our waitress was cool, very pleasant. She gave great recommendations. Now, the delicious part, we ordered a variety. My family ordered a burnt turkey ends bowl which contained cheesy polenta, bbq burnt ends, sliced pickles, and I added mushrooms; funky monkey banana deep fried French toast, berry me deep fried French toast, fish & cheesy polenta, bacon, and hash browns. EVERYTHING WAS TASTY! I highly recommend this place. I'll be back soon because I have to try the deep fried French toast topped with grilled peaches. Yummy!!!

It is in the same shopping center as Galaxy Fun Park, Wakefield Marquee and Milton's. The shopping center has plenty of free parking. Sunday's AM Eatery serves breakfast and brunch items until 3pm each day, and the menu might be getting some new additions soon. They do not take reservations. Best of all, it is locally owned. The 97.5 health score is A-OK too. The seating inside is a mix of tables, booths, and bar seats. I did not order one of the Benedicts here, as they had fried eggs instead of poached and grilled brioche instead of English muffins. Instead, I went with the Smashed Toast, which was smashed avocado on Texas Toast and topped with a fried egg. A side of hash browns was included, too. Service was top-notch on my visit. I was greeted the moment I entered the door and seated soon after. My iced tea arrived seconds after I ordered it. I was told about the restaurant and the specials, then given time to decide what to order. My plate came out pretty soon after I ordered. I didn't expect it so quickly. I liked that my eggs had a runny yolk. I liked the flavors of the avocado, toast, and hash browns. I was very happy with my selection. The portion was good, and the price was reasonable. The French toast/pancakes caught my eye, too. You can select from the versions they have, like Elvis or mixed berry, or create your own. So I will likely go with that next time. I am glad I found another breakfast spot to dine and am looking forward to a return visit.

She made sure our food was remade and even refunded both of our meals after they came out cold and were not good. Analise, our server, also did a great job and did the best she could with the situation. The issues we had were clearly on the kitchen side, not them. For food, I ordered the Baja Turkey Burger with house potatoes and a mimosa, and my meal was actually good. My mom and brother both ordered the Trifecta, but both meals had to be sent back because they were cold, and the turkey sausage did not look appealing at all (they had run out of regular sausage that day). My brother ended up getting the BLTE with tomato soup, which he enjoyed. My mom switched to the same Baja Turkey Burger I had but with tomato soup on the side. The biggest problem overall was the kitchen consistency. My mom's turkey burger was only halfway cooked, and both original meals came out cold, which was disappointing. Another issue was the environment that day, it was extremely hot inside, especially with the heavy crowd, because the A/C wasn't working. I really hope they got that fixed in time for the hotter weather because it made dining uncomfortable. One thing to be aware of: they offer coffee, but don't really mention that it's an extra $4 charge, so just keep that in mind. The service and management were great, the food consistency and environment missed the mark during this visit. I honestly think going to the Capital Boulevard location may have been the better option.
