If your one of those people that like something sweet for breakfast like pancakes with maple syrup then here’s my recommendation; skip that and get yourself the cinnamon roll cause it’s out of this world awesome, tender and rich. Also, i’d highly recommend the chef’s...Read More

The new true gem of Peninsula, so great to finally have a place that is worth the money for a brunch in this area. Great vibe, amazing drinks and of course tasty items on the menu. The bloody mary is a must.

Solid breakfast experience at Drake’s! The Breakfast Burger and extra spicy Bloody Mary were a perfect match—delicious and satisfying. The place has a fun, energetic vibe, though it can get a bit loud. But with great service, it’s definitely worth it!
