Cozy Weekend Brunch Pairings for Cooler Days

Saturday and Sunday mornings look a little different around here — slower, warmer, and built around our weekend brunch menu. As the weather cools off, a few pairings keep coming up again and again with our regulars.

Eggs Benedict + Maple Cortado. The richness of the hollandaise and the toasted brioche calls for something not too sweet, and the light maple in a cortado cuts right through it without competing.

French Toast + Spiced Dirty Chai. Two warmly spiced things sound like they'd clash, but they don't — the chai's spice picks up on whatever's in the syrup, and the espresso keeps it from feeling like dessert for breakfast.

Avocado Toast + Iced Oat Latte. Not every fall morning needs to be hot and spiced. A cold, creamy oat latte alongside something savory and bright like avocado toast is a nice contrast on the warmer weekend afternoons we still get in Staten Island this time of year.

Mimosas, always. Some things don't need a fall update. If you're settling in for a longer weekend brunch with friends, a round of mimosas alongside whatever you order is never a bad call.

Our full weekend brunch menu runs Saturday and Sunday, 8am to 6pm and 8am to 4pm respectively, at our Staten Island cafe in the Urby lobby. Come hungry, stay awhile — the patio's still open. Need directions? Find us on our location page.
