Monday To Sunday Cafe & Brunch Menu

I walked into Monday To Sunday on a Wednesday at 11:47 a.m., which is objectively the worst possible hour to try a new brunch spot. Four people were ahead of me, every table was taken, and someone was photographing a cappuccino like it had just graduated. I nearly left.

Then the kitchen pushed out a plate of eggs and I smelled brown butter from across the room. Reader, I stayed.

Here's what that moment taught me: a café named after every single day is making a promise. Monday To Sunday is basically telling you it refuses to treat brunch as a weekend-only privilege. And if you're the kind of person who eats pancakes on a Tuesday because time is a construct, this menu was written for you.

Brunch Without the Weekend Gatekeeping

Most brunch menus are theatrical. They show up at 10 a.m. on Saturdays, wave a mimosa around, and vanish by 2 p.m. Monday To Sunday takes the opposite approach — the brunch items stick around all week long.

Yes, the weekend version is bigger. There are more specials, more garnish, more people waiting outside with that slightly feral look. But the core menu doesn't disappear on you.

That's a small thing that turns out to be a big thing. You can have a proper brunch on a Monday, when the room is quiet and the staff actually have time to talk you through the toast situation.

The Eggs Do Most of the Heavy Lifting

Eggs Benedict shows up, obviously. So does a straightforward scramble that tastes like someone in the kitchen respects salt.

The shakshuka is the one I'd order again — spicy enough to notice, not spicy enough to ruin your afternoon. Bread arrives on the side, which is correct, because bread arriving underneath a wet dish is a tragedy nobody talks about.

If you're a savory-breakfast person, you'll be fine here. If you're not, keep reading.

Pancakes, French Toast, and the Sugar Question

The pancakes are fluffy in the way that suggests buttermilk and zero shortcuts. The French toast leans brioche, which means it's rich, which means you should probably split it. You will not split it.

There's also a granola-and-yogurt option for the people who claim they're "being good." I see you. I don't believe you, but I see you.

One genuine warning: the sweet plates are sweet. If you're ordering coffee with caramel in it and the banana pancakes, that's a lot of sugar before noon. Ask me how I know.

Not Everything Is Breakfast (Thankfully)

Here's where the menu earns its keep. Alongside the brunch standards, there are sandwiches, a couple of salads that aren't sad, and at least one pasta dish that has no business being this good in a café.

So if your friend insists they "don't do brunch," they can order a proper lunch and stop complaining. Everyone eats. Nobody sulks. It's a diplomatic solution.

Portions are generous without being ridiculous. You'll leave full, not immobile.

The Drinks Are Not an Afterthought

Coffee is the priority, and it tastes like it. Flat whites come out with actual texture, and the espresso isn't hiding behind milk.

DINE-IN or TAKEWAY | Monday Cafe

For the non-coffee crowd, there's matcha, fresh juice, and a few iced options that make sense when it's aggressively hot outside. The iced matcha is unsweetened by default, which is either great news or a personal attack, depending on who you are.

Prices sit in the normal-brunch-café range. Not cheap, not insulting. You're paying for a room you actually want to sit in.

Practical Stuff: Timing, Prices, and Crowds

Go early on weekends or don't go at all. Anything after 11 a.m. on a Saturday means hovering near tables like a polite vulture.

Weekdays are the move. You'll get a seat, faster service, and the strange pleasure of eating eggs while everyone else is at work.

Also worth knowing: the menu shifts seasonally, so that item you fell in love with in March might be gone by June. Take a photo of the menu. Future you will be grateful.

So, Should You Go?

Yes, and go on a day that isn't Sunday just to prove a point. The food is solid, the coffee holds up, and the whole-week brunch concept solves a problem you didn't know you had.

Just don't be the person photographing the cappuccino for nine minutes. That table could be mine.
