brunch al fresco

I've officially found my new favorite brunch spot in Charleston-- Leaf Cafe & Bar. When Sunday rolls around it's often hard to decide where to go for the breakfast/lunch meal. Charleston is packed with amazing restaurants that offer brunch and once we find one that we like, it's hard to get us to stray. When a friend recommended this new restaurant we agreed to branch out and I couldn't be happier with the results.

The outdoor seating arranged under the towering tree had me won over before I even sat down. Each meal comes with either a bloody mary or a mimosa (yes please!), fresh fruit and their amazingly seasoned potatoes.

 
[complimentary mini biscuits and gravy appetizers]
 
[stuffed french toast with fresh strawberries] 
[veggie omelet]

I can't wait to go back and try their lunch and dinner menu's!
Do any of you have a favorite brunch spot in your city?

    The french toast looks amazing! When I lived in indianapolis I was the same way my favorite brunch places was Cafe Patachou (they had to die for granola). It was hard for Mark to get me to go anywhere else until we found zest! lets just say creme brulee french toast won me over!! Happy Tuesday!

    I totally didn't realize you lived in Charleston! Lack of attention on my part maybe? I have heard so many wonderful little things about that city, and am itching to visit it. When is the best time to come? I am thinking a late January trip down with some girlfriends.. woudl love to meet you too, lady!
