Briarpatch

The Write-Up

The full story

Briarpatch is Park Avenue's chill, charming breakfast room, cozy and bustling in equal measure. The Very Berry French toast gets called the best French toast ever, the Raspberry Lemon Cream Pancakes and Short Rib Benedict anchor the menu, and everything tastes homemade, down to the carrot cake and the tuna melt. Expect a crowd and a wait at peak, because Winter Park has loved this place for a long time.
