I do not know what took me so long, but I have been missing out on this place. You never really know if a place is good, even if it is posted here with a lot of great reviews or bragged about on social media but I knew this place would be worth the hype when I arrived and saw the line out the door. We came here on a Saturday on Mother's Day weekend and it was packed. They told me about 20 minutes, but it was more like 10. They seem very efficient here all the while not rushing people out to get in the next set of customers. The food and drinks also came out in a good time, so being busy did not keep them from running well. It is also a bit pricy here, but the food and portions are delicious and well sized. I love the ambience. It is modern and bright in here. The people working here all seemed very nice, professional, helpful, they provided great service. I did start off with the espresso martini. This was the low point of the meal. While it looked nice and had a great strong coffee flavor, it had zero sweetness whatsoever and did not improve with cream and sugar added. I would put it at the bottom half of my drink around the world espresso martini quest. But, the other drinks quite made up for it. The pomegranate mimosa and plain mimosas were wonderful. I would order both of those again. Just the regular mimosa alone was nice and seemed like a must order item. I would recommend those. One child got a smoothie which was nice and the other a beautiful tiramisu latte that was beautiful and came with a lady finger and mascarpone cream on top. My husband just got the coffee which was standard and nothing special. I love a sweet and a savory for brunch, so I ordered the fruity pebble pancakes. The batter was so lovely and sweet. I loved the bits of fruity pebbles in the batter and the sweet cream on top. I also got a chicken tender biscuit with the siracha maple on the side. It came with a nice salad, which a good dressing, but I also used the siracha maple sauce to dress it up a bit more, and it was very tasty. The biscuit also had gravy and cheese. Both of those items had nice portions and it took two people and three meals to finish it all, which is a good deal, I like nice portions. Two people got the tiramisu pancakes and one got the Monte Cristo. Everything was fabulous. I would love to come back. I think I would get the pancakes again, so well made and delicious. I would also like to try their wrap sandwiches. They looked amazing.
Not my first time coming this place is always a treat. Went for my husband's birthday breakfast on a Thursday morning, still super busy but was able to be sat right away luckily. The hand made orange juice was delightful, I ordered the omelette with sausage gravy on top, this thing was hugeee didn't stop me from eating all of it. My husband got the braised short rib hash, this was delightful the flavor of the short rib was excellent. Great place for breakfast. I also ordered the banana bread latte super delicious. Place was clean and the staff was friendly.
We've returned for another brunch at Rochester Brunch House. The atmosphere is welcoming, as is the staff. It was bustling, since it was late morning on a Sunday, but we must have timed our arrival perfectly because we didn't wait long for 2 seats at the bar. We had a really good vantage point of what was going on in the back of the house as well as the server station, which we faced. The team was hard at work and I appreciated my server who watched my coffee cup and checked in 3 times to refill it, despite having phone duty along with serving the other bar patrons. I had the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes and a Side of Bacon and hubby had the Breakfast Quesadillas. The bacon is thick sliced and was cooked to perfection - fairly crispy but chewy. The pancakes were sweet and flavorful - they were light on the cream cheese frosting which was good for me although I would have been happy with more. The quesadillas were very good - lots of flavors in every bite. They serve it with ranch dressing and salsa. Hubby asked for more salsa - we were charged $2. That was extremely high, in my opinion. I could see 50 cents or so but $2 was not appropriate for how much they serve. The service here is excellent - everyone is hustling but with a smile. It's high on the pricing but the food is good. We'll be back - just not ordering anything extra in the future. Lol
This is a pretty place for breakfast and brunch in downtown Rochester. I ordered the chicken scramble with sourdough bread, and it was really delicious, especially the bread! Service was slow, but I went on a Sunday noon, so it was busy. Servers were nice, but my family and I waited for 30 minutes for our food to come out, which is why I took out a star. We ate outside and the weather was very nice, and the scene was peaceful and quaint. There's paid parking, except on Sundays, and you may have to drive around a bit to find a spot depending on when you go.
A must do every time my daughter and I are back in MI visiting. Such a lovely restaurant inside and out, with great brunch specialties and great specialty lattes. One of our favorites is the Crab Cake Eggs Benedict, which is amazing and at a price that is approachable indulgence. I prefer my eggs hard boiled and they, unlike many others, always get it right. The holiday decorations are always festive yet tasteful and the interior decor is like an impeccably decorated home.
The best brunch in Rochester!! RBH is always busy, attesting to how popular and quality the restaurant is. The service is perfect, the atmosphere inside is great and on a nice summer day, eating your brunch on their patio is everything you could want. Every item on the menu is thoughtfully made and tastes phenomenal. A must visit for every brunch fan in the metro Detroit area.
Absolutely delicious! We met with a small group today and were absolutely delighted with our choices. The brunch menu is expansive, and there is literally something for everyone. The restaurant is super cute and located in a renovated church. Love the decor and homey feel inside. Service is also prompt but not rushed. The food was wonderful. We tried the French toast, Nutella pancakes, monte cristo and breakfast burrito. All were delicious, large portions and attractively plated. It was a very satisfying meal, and we'd recommend coming here again for sure.
Amazing breakfast spot. We stopped here again and tried the breakfast quesadilla, RBH omelet, huevos rancheros, and stuffed strawberry French toast. The breakfast quesadilla and huevos rancheros are very similar dishes. Both were absolutely spectacular. I would definitely come back and get either of those. The French toast was good but I prefer the cinnamon roll pancakes. Always a great breakfast.
The food and drinks were very good. The waitress was nice didn't see her a lot tho'. It's a small place but very clean. The price point is decent we had a party of 6 and the bill was $200+ with a 20% auto gratuity.
Excellent service very tasty brunch. Not our first time. Love their menu. Huevos Rancheros is awesome!
The service here is SO good! They go above and beyond to make sure everything is correct for my order, the servers are always refilling my coffee, and the food is fantastic! The ambiance at RBH is one of a kind. I cannot remember her name, however she is somewhat of a hospitality lady. She goes around and just talks to people, making sure everyone has what they need. She is one of the best when it comes to brightening up anyone's day!
I have enjoyed breakfast here several times and it is nice sitting at the bar and seeing the sunlight enter the dining area through beautiful windows in this space that was previously a church. It is also a great place to sit as I like viewing so many of the various menu offerings to consider in future visits as the server traffic to deliver orders from the kitchen travel through this location. The Eggs Benedict is very tasty and the RBH omelet is a nice portion and also delicious. If you like something sweeter, I suggest trying some of the fluffy pancake offerings that have fruit and fancy toppings. I have been fortunate to have been served by multiple servers who have all been kind and friendly. Even the manager (owners' mother) often has greeted me as well and she is very nice, welcoming, helpful, and friendly.
To no surprise, had an amazing visit at RBH! We went on a weekday to avoid the rush/line that accumulates on the weekends, and even though we went pretty late in the afternoon (close to close) the service was fantastic! I got my usually nutella crepes and they were of course delicious. My friends opted for the tater tot bowl, breakfast burrito (don't remember the specific one, but it's pictured below), and classic eggs benedict and everyone loved what they got. Everything is so flavorful and well made. Also very random, but they have mouth watering frappes, I don't know what it is, but everyone got one and loved. This is my go to spot to take friends and family visiting from out of town - the service, decorations, food, everything is great! Will be back!
This was our first visit to Rochester Brunch House (RBH), but certainly won't be the last. The owner also has Saint 1881 across the street. I believe both are remade from former churches (at least Saint 1881 was). RBH has an airy, modern feel with modern chandeliers with a decor that reminds me of an upscale hotel, but still manages to be casual and comfortable. My only drawback was the noise level. With the tall ceilings it was quite loud. It isn't he largest of places, but not a cafe either. Service was excellent, though it was difficult to hear our soft spoken hostess and server. Our server was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Street parking is available, along with a couple nearby parking lots, but they are metered (free on Sundays). My wife wasn't very hungry so she opted for the Chia Pudding and had my toast. Myself, I went for the Chicken Scramble, and it was next level for a scrambled egg dish. Whatever the seasoning was it was absolutely unique and delicious. I couldn't quite make out what it was. We willl be back and absolutely try some other items on the menu. Maybe getting here a little more early, to sit outside (to avoid the noise). read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while, but it's always jam packed when I do so I never get a chance to make it in. I was able to finally eat here today with my mom and it was really really good! Walking in, they have a wonderful patio dining area that was packed on a Friday which was impressive. Since we didn't want to eat outside, we went inside and it was very nice and were seated immediately. They have a bar area to sit at along with plenty of tables which we got to choose from when seated. I love how it's decorated here, it really added to the ambience. I went with the Huervos Rancheros and my mom got a veggie omelet. Both had generous portions and overall, were quite good. My mom enjoyed her meal and I tried her diced potatos. They were good but could've used some seasoning. My Huevos Rancheros was good, but a bit on the colder side, like it had been out for a while. I will say, they were able to substitute the Chirizo with Chicken, which was just okay. Not bad, just average. Overall I enjoyed my time here and the prices match the food portions along with the ambiance of the place. Staff is very friendly and professional, and it was really good food. read more

Came here for brunch with a friend and we were able to get a table right away! For my drink, I ordered an iced horchata latte, which was part of the holiday menu. I thought it was very good! For my food I ordered avocado toast, which had arugula, tomato, bacon, egg, and goat cheese on top. The ingredients were very fresh and I would order it again! read more
I ordered tacos and to my surprise it really tasted good. It was served hot and went well with salad on side. I have been here before and love the ambience. As usual there was 30 min wait and we were given table at back side. I would have enjoyed if i got table in main room given 30 min wait I had. Food is good! read more

We were seated immediately, the place isn't huge but decorated very nicely and we had enough space where we didn't feel like we were sitting on top of each other. I ordered the maple chicken biscuits with breakfast potatoes and the man mosa with pineapple juice instead of orange. The biscuit was delicious, so fluffy and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. I also sampled my friend pancakes and omg they were so fluffy and buttery! read more

The food at this location is pretty good, classic brunch food. The lemon poppy seed pancakes were delicious and the other items were pretty standard. My main complaint is that there was not one vegan option on the brunch menu. There were barely any vegetarian options, you had to remove the meat (which I did and received my order with meat, which they had to remake). It's disappointing that they have soo many items on their menu and not one to accommodate different dietary restrictions. One person at our table did not eat and only had coffee. Would really like them to fix this read more

I have been to the Rochester Brunch House several times. Seated quickly. I loved their brand of English muffins (Wolferman's bakery I believe) and eggs Benedict, but this time the eggs and Canadian bacon were overdone, and the English muffin seemed a bit different -and dry. (The menu did not identify the muffin as Wolferman's.) The pistachio latte was a unique twist on latte and very flavorful and I loved the presentation! The server was attentive and efficient. When it came time to pay we were informed that the credit card system was down and needed to pay by Venmo. Was underwhelmed. read more
Sent to brunch with my wife. Here's a picture of my stuffed French toast. It was delicious, but maybe should be classified more as a dessert than a brunch item. Very sweet, but a nice treat on a Sunday morning nonetheless! read more
Such a great place to have a meal. The Brunch House is always busy, which is a testament to the amazing food. It is beautiful inside and the waitstaff is dressed impeccably. For some reason I usually gravitate towards the egg Bennie's. They have delicious takes on different versions. We love eating there when we are in the area. read more

The food was good, the wait was not too bad at noon on a Saturday. The fancy pancake options seem like the way to go if you go out of your way to come here. Service was good and the food came fast. During the meal, 4 waitresses/hostesses were arguing next to our table about if they could ask us to move over to take the table we were sitting at for a larger party. It got a little uncomfortable. I felt this was very unprofessional. That's a conversation to have out of earshot of your customer. They ended up seating the party and telling them when we left they would add our table to theirs. read more

I forgot the name of the omelette I got but it was greek inspired and egg whites only! The flavors were on point for the omelette and it was super delicious! The only thing I will say is that the omelette is pretty thin. My friend got the sweet potato fries instead of the regular potatoes and I think the sweet potato fries are the winner! Service was quick and nice and would be a cute date spot! read more
This is one of the best breakfast spots I have been to in a while! I went on a Sunday around noon with a group of 3 and there was NO WAIT. The mimosa was so tasty, the eggs were fluffy and well seasoned, and the pancakes were to DIE FOR. I ordered a chicken wrap to go and was not disappointed. The server was friendly and attentive and the warm atmosphere was the cherry on top. Definitely check this place out! read more

Ask the Community - Rochester Brunch House
Is this the place that has bottomless mimosas?
I don't believe so. They do, however, have several yummy flavor options!
Do they take reservations?
They do call aheads but they only put your name down, they're super busy on weekends so I'd go early.
Are there any vegan options here?
Yes, oatmeal with bananas-blueberries-granola- honey. Granola with yogurt or fruits. Great salads…
Is it hard to get in on Saturday morning around 9am?
Yes and there isn’t anywhere inside to wait. We usually drive by and if they are smashed against the door we go somewhere else. It’s delicious and worth the wait but there isn’t anywhere to wait.
Anyone have any idea of the nutrition content of the menu items?
I believe that they are not posted on the menu.
