Brunch isn’t just a meal — it’s a lifestyle, a weekend ritual and sometimes, an excuse to have pancakes and cocktails at the same time. In Plano, brunch options range from decadent French toast to savory Tex-Mex feasts, with plenty of coffee, mimosas and indulgent bites in between.
Whether it's a leisurely morning with friends or a quick fuel-up before tackling the weekend, there’s a perfect plate waiting. Here’s where to find the best brunch spots in town — because breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but brunch is the most fun.
First Watch
3131 Custer Road, Plano
No need to set an alarm — brunch at this Plano spot is worth waking up for. From classic bacon and eggs to creative seasonal dishes, the menu serves up fresh flavors with something for every craving. Sip on a fresh-squeezed juice or a cup of Project Sunrise Coffee while debating whether to go savory with the carne asada hash or sweet with raspberry ricotta french toast. And if you’re feeling fancy, a little million dollar bacon never hurts.
Whiskey Cake
3601 Dallas Pkwy, Plano
Don't limit brunch to mimosa flights. Whiskey Cake doesn't. Here, they're great, sure, but so are the bourbon pours. Perfect for pairing with their signature chicken and waffles, the apple crisp french toast dripping in whiskey toffee sauce or a colossal cinnamon roll worthy of its name, the menu leans into indulgence. Sip on their chilled coffee-infused old-fashioned — aptly named the "cold fashioned," or wash it all down with a mimosa flight.
Toulouse Cafe and Bar
7301 Windrose Ave. Suite C150, Plano
Bonjour! Some mornings call for a little French flair and this bistro delivers. Toulouse serves up French-influenced Belgian cuisine with a modern twist. From buttery croque madame to delicate omelette provençale, the menu blends classic French flavors with a modern twist. The setting is as charming as the cuisine, making it a prime spot for a leisurely weekend brunch. Pair it with a mimosa or a café au lait and suddenly, Plano feels a little more Parisian.
Haywire
5901 Winthrop St Ste 110, Plano
Big Texas flavors and a laid-back vibe come together for a brunch that’s as comforting as a front porch rocking chair. This ranch-to-table spread serves up everything from cinnamon-orange pancakes to a Wagyu pastrami hash that might just redefine breakfast. For those who believe brunch isn’t complete without a little indulgence, the crabcake Benedict and chicken-fried biscuit stack up nicely. Add a handcrafted cocktail and it’s a meal worth savoring — slow and steady, just like a Sunday should be.
Blue Mesa Grill
8200 Dallas Parkway, Plano
Some brunches are made for sipping, snacking and stretching out the weekend a little longer. This all-you-can-eat buffet brings Tex-Mex flair to the table with everything from made-to-order omelets to red chile salmon tacos. Mimosas are included — because brunch without bubbles is just a late breakfast. And with a carving station, fresh churros and craft margaritas on standby, it’s a feast worth waking up for.
The Biscuit Bar
The Boardwalk at Granite Park, 5880 TX-121 Suite 102-B, Plano
Flaky, buttery biscuits take center stage at this fast-casual Southern spot, where every sandwich is stacked with comfort. From classic bacon, egg and cheese to the indulgent rough night — piled high with chicken, burger, ham, turkey, pulled pork and tots — there’s no such thing as a light bite here. Sweet tooths can dig into biscuit french toast or a monte cristo, while brunch purists can sip on craft cocktails or cold brew on tap. With biscuits this good, it’s easy to see why carbs are always worth it.
Press Waffle Co.
Legacy Hall, 7800 Windrose Ave., Plano
Crispy, caramelized and impossibly buttery, these Belgian waffles don’t mess around. Whether stacked with strawberries and Nutella, stuffed with smoked turkey and berry jam, or turned into a waffle ice cream sandwich, each bite delivers the perfect mix of crunch and chew. Located inside Legacy Hall, this spot pairs its sweet and savory creations with locally roasted coffee — because every waffle deserves a good sip on the side.

Eddie’s Diner
4709 W. Parker Rd. #425, Plano
Some mornings call for something simple, satisfying and served all day — no need to set an alarm. Eddie’s Diner keeps it classic with omelets, migas and pancakes, alongside lighter bites and a kid-friendly menu. The cold nitro brew is strong enough to wake the sleepiest brunch-goer, while cinnamon roll pancakes and sundae waffles bring just the right amount of indulgence. No frills, just good food — because sometimes, that’s all breakfast needs to be.
Sixty Vines
3701 Dallas Pkwy., Plano
Wine on tap and a brunch spread that’s anything but basic — Sixty Vines serves up vineyard-style dining with a side of laid-back luxury.

CRÚ Food and Wine Bar, The Shops at Legacy
7201 Bishop Rd., Plano
Whenever you go to Crú Food and Wine Bar, you’re sure to see at least one couple on a first date, a group of ladies sharing a bottle of Chardonnay and a few married couples gathered with their business partners to toast exciting new ventures. It has always felt like a special occasion experience. Thus, their iteration of eggs Benedict must be glamorous. A humble English muffin — topped with baby spinach, poached eggs and a housemade herb hollandaise—is par for the course. Until, of course, you consider the crab cake.
Bread Winners Café and Bakery, Lakeside Market
4021 Preston Rd., Plano
Brunch lovers know that carbs and coffee are essential and this spot delivers both in style. From cinnamon rolls to stuffed french toast, every bite feels like a warm hug. The Normandy french toast — thick sourdough filled with cream cheese and raspberry jam — is a standout, topped with fresh berries and whipped cream. Savory fans aren’t left out either, with jalapeño cheddar pigs in a blanket and breakfast croissant sandwiches rounding out the menu.
Bulla Gastrobar at Legacy West
6007 Legacy Dr. Ste. 180, Plano

Whether it's the churros con chocolate or a savory steak and eggs, every dish packs a punch of bold flavors.
