Additionally, the restaurant will include private dining spaces on the main floor and in the bar area. Diners can expect a variety of brunch dishes including waffle-biscuits, sweet potato pancakes, seafood omelets, and burgers. Breakfast Loft plans to make its sausages in-house and also plans on serving several vegetarian and vegan dishes. Breakfast Loft is currently serving a weekends-only brunch buffet.
