Open SUNDAY, March 31st, 2024:
Bootsie’s is officially OPEN for Easter brunch from 10 AM – 3 PM, and if you’ve been, you already know…this is a local favorite for a reason. Think cozy vibes, classic brunch dishes, and the kind of place where you can linger over coffee
Rockin K's Planning to gather a group? Rockin K’s is expected to offer Easter brunch from 9 AM – 2 PM again this year. It’s a great go-to for variety and a more casual, come-as-you-are brunch atmosphere.

The Chef Cafe A downtown staple, The Chef, is expected to offer Easter brunch specials. If you’re looking for something a little more low-key but still delicious, this is always a solid choice.
Wine Dive Kitchen Wine Dive typically leans into brunch all weekend, and you can expect Saturday + Sunday brunch from around 10 AM – 2 PM. Think elevated brunch, mimosas, and a slightly more modern vibe.
HyVee has also set up an Easter Brunch, from what I hear, it is quite a spread! If you want the brunch experience without the crowd, Hy-Vee usually offers Easter brunch buffets (around 8 AM – 2 PM) or take-home meal options. Perfect for hosting at home without doing all the work.
