Specialties
Brunchport is a new dining destination serving up fresh, flavorful meals for breakfast, lunch, and the occasional specialty dinner. By day, our menu celebrates all things brunch- comforting classics and creative twists designed to be enjoyed any time. In the evening, we offer specialty dinners that highlight modern American and Mediterranean cuisine with thoughtfully crafted dishes that bring people together.
We also offer full catering services, both on-site for groups of up to 100 and off-site for events of every size and style-whether it’s a milestone celebration, a corporate gathering, or personalized meal preparation. At Brunchport, we believe great food starts with great ingredients. That’s why we cook responsibly, using seasonal, locally sourced produce and time-honored techniques to create wholesome, memorable meals.
History
Established in 2025.
Our journey in food began at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, where we first met. In 1996, we opened Proud Mary’s Café in Rumson, serving a creative, modern menu. We sold the restaurant in 2001, but our shared passion for food and hospitality never faded.
In 2004, we launched Chefs & Co., a boutique catering company dedicated to creating memorable dining experiences. For two decades, we’ve had the privilege of cooking for life’s milestones, corporate gatherings, and special celebrations of every kind.
When retirement from teaching arrived in 2024, we began searching for a permanent home for our business- somewhere that felt connected to the community we love. The moment we found Mia of Oceanport, we knew it was the perfect fit: close to home, surrounded by friends and neighbors, and full of opportunity.
Brunchport is the next chapter in our story- rooted in experience, inspired by community, and fueled by a lifelong love of cooking.

At Brunchport, every detail is guided by care- for our guests, our team, and our community. We craft seasonal menus centered on locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, celebrating the flavors of New Jersey’s farms and waters while supporting the growers, fishers, and artisans who make them possible.
We believe that true hospitality begins behind the scenes. By putting our employees first, we cultivate a workplace rooted in respect, growth, and balance- because a thriving team creates the warm, genuine service our guests deserve.
Here, every meal is more than a dining experience- it’s a reflection of shared values, connection, and care.
