If you're in the mood for a delightful brunch experience, look no further than Brookies Cafe, located in the charming downtown area of St. Joseph, Michigan. This inviting eatery provides a cozy atmosphere perfect for families, friends, or even solo diners wishing to savor an unforgettable meal.

Brookies Cafe is famous for its vibrant and wholesome brunch offerings, bringing together flavors that comfort the soul. Start your day with the 'Morning Must Haves' — the star of the menu is undoubtedly the Fire & Fluff, featuring seasoned buttermilk chicken thighs that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, generously drizzled with hot honey and served on a freshly made sweet cream waffle. It’s a dish that not only fills you up but also sets your taste buds ablaze with excitement. If you're in the mood for something hearty, the Breakfast Club Burrito wrapped tightly with turkey, bacon, scrambled eggs, and a blend of fresh ingredients is sure to hit the spot. Priced at just $13.00, this burrito is as satisfying as it is delicious.

The a la carte section allows flexibility with your meal, offering options such as perfectly cooked sausage links (both chicken and pork), fluffy pancakes, and crispy hash browns at reasonable prices. For something a bit more indulgent, don’t miss the Heat & Sweet — a creamy white cheddar mac and cheese topped with hot honey-tossed chicken tenders; it's a divine melding of comfort foods and a burst of flavor for only $16.00.

The cafe's atmosphere strikes a balance between rustic charm and modern flair — you’ll find cozy seating and colorful decor that make you feel right at home. Customers rave about the excellent service and the welcoming vibe. As one satisfied diner, Kristin Addison, noted, “the quality of food more than makes up for any kitchen wait — it’s worth it.” Another patron, Kaitlyn Cramer, echoed this sentiment with her praise for the “impressively soft and moist” biscuits and the unique, crisp-topped bananas foster pancake.

For those who appreciate generous portions, the reviews consistently highlight that Brookies Cafe does not skimp on size; Juanita Rodriguez raved about shareable Creme de Berry pancakes and well-cooked ingredients, further solidifying its reputation as a local gem. Nathans Vining boldly states, “this place has the best breakfast in the area,” and with dishes that demonstrate commitment to freshness and flavor, it’s hard to disagree.

Whether you’re stopping by for brunch or a satisfying breakfast, Brookies Cafe is poised to deliver with perfection. It’s a celebration of local flavors and fresh ingredients that adds to the culinary landscape of St. Joseph, making it a must-visit destination for brunch enthusiasts.

Nice and welcome breakfast place in downtown St Joe. Atmosphere is nice. Service was good. The kitchen was a little slow, but they made up for it in the quality of food. I had biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs and my husband had the southern comfort. Chicken was excellent. I love that they have Coke products. Highly recommend!

Cute place! We were impressed with the staff and the food was great! I ordered biscuits and gravy and the bananas foster pancake because everything sounded so good I couldn’t decide! The biscuits were impressively soft and moist. The bananas foster had a nice little crisp to it, oh and the sweet cream on top?! *chefs kiss.* The cactus skillet had some HEAT! So good!

We have ordered from this place twice and the food has been exceptional, especially for SW Michigan. Grateful this gem came along! The eggs along w their other ingredients are better quality that what others are serving, and everything is cooked to perfection. Creme de Berry pancakes are yummy and shareable. Great portion sizes!

If you’re thinking about going out for breakfast anywhere near New Buffalo, St. Joe, or Benton Harbor — stop looking and come here. Hands down, this place has the best breakfast in the area. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful, and the eggs are on another level. I’ve been to every place you can try, and nothing comes close. Absolutely worth the stop.

This is an outstanding place for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. The food was excellent!! The portions are large. The place is very nice and clean. I had a skillet dish - The Silver Beach Sensation. It was more than I could eat. Very, very tasty!! I’m a southern born, southern bred big breakfast guy. I hate to say it for all my Southern friends and family, but I’ve never had a better biscuit nor breakfast!! Do not miss this place!!!

I came here with the family recently for brunch and we highly enjoyed it! We were seated right away and the servers and atmosphere was nice. The food took a bit longer to come out but thats because it was being prepared fresh! It was all great and we would come back again!
