Brunch means it's the weekend and reminds us to slow down, relax and enjoy! Here are some of my favorite spots in Manhattan, KS.

One of my favorite items from The Chef Cafe, their Breakfast Burrito always hits the spot!

I am not sure if there is a better meal to enjoy than Brunch! Brunch means it's the weekend and reminds us to slow down, relax and enjoy! Here are some of my favorite spots in Manhattan, KS to grab Brunch!

The Chef is the spot especially if you are looking for brunch every day of the week! Located in downtown Manhattan, The Chef Cafe' is a locate favorite. If you plan to try brunch at The Chef on a Saturday or Sunday, be prepared for a wait. The weekends are busy and the earlier you get there the quicker you will get in.

Located in Downtown Manhattan, The Chef is a townie favorite.
Come early or you will most likely have a wait. In the Summer enjoy drinks downtown.

Coco Bolos is known for its saying "Spicy Music and Loud Food" which lets people know they are serving up some unique flavors. Located in Aggieville, Coco Bolos has been a local favorite since it opened. Their Bluemont Biscuits and Gravy are my go-to on their Brunch Menu, but their entire menu carries the bold flavors we all love when we head to "Bolos!"

El Patron because who doesn't love Mexican food and Brunch??? My husband and I love their Breakfast Burritos! Opened every day at 11 am, you can check out their menu on their website to see what sounds best to you!

Bluestem Bistro is located in Aggieville and if you have read my blog on the best breakfast burritos in Manhattan, KS you probably know where I am going with this one. While Bluestem Bistro has a great menu that offers a lot of variety, their breakfast burritos are so good!!!

One of the fun parts about exploring the food scene in our area is that new places are always popping up and menus are constantly changing!

Arrow Coffee is a perfect spot especially if you are living in the dorms at Kansas State University! Located on the corner of Claflin and Denison, Arrow Coffee is serving up some delicious french toast, coffee, and more on their brunch menu!

Radina's has several locations around town and one on Kansas State University campus. Their menu features everything from pastries to quiches that are ready to heat and eat! Radina's On The Hill is super close to my office so it is my go-to on a regular basis! Be sure to check their website, each location has its own individual menus!

One of two Radina's with a drive-thru, this location is very convenient on the the West side of town.

Wine Dive + Kitchen brunch menu is also serving up some of the tastiest craft cocktails to sip on while enjoying your brunch. The brunch menu at Wine Dive + Kitchen also serves up a variety of small plates for patrons to enjoy if they are looking to share or are not quite sure what they are hungry for.

Five: A New American Restaurant is located in Downtown Manhattan, KS right off Poyntz Ave. Their fun variety of items on their brunch menu is sure to please. From sweet to savory and everything in between the brunch at Five: A New American Restaurant is one to try.

While most of these brunch spots in Manhattan, KS are on the smaller side, they all offer additional outdoor patio seating for you to enjoy!
