The interior is cozy and upscale, but it's a decidedly casual spot. Perfect for a winter morning or a laid back summer day.

Unlike some spots, Bayside American Cafe is open for brunch six days a week. This is good news for those of us who crave this most important of meals on days other than the typical Sunday brunch day.

And for those who also look for sweet breakfasts, they've got plenty to choose from. Their cinnamon bun pancakes are incredible and come with a swirl of cinnamon and delicious cream cheese icing.
