All about the Fainting Goat brunch…
The Venue
The Fainting Goat has a rustic feel to it, with wood tables, exposed brick, and soft lighting. Servers are warm and friendly, and the kitchen is happy to accommodate all dietary restrictions. It’s a fantastic spot for brunch with a group of friends.
The Fainting Goat Brunch Highlights
All tasty meals at the Fainting Goat brunch, dinner, or happy hour, start off with the goat cheese fondue. It comes with chunks of grilled bread, perfect for dipping in the creamy melted cheese.
Next, all the items on The Fainting Goat brunch menu are great for sharing so order away! I highly recommend the avocado toast, where a thick slice of sourdough bread is slathered with creamy avocado and crowned with fresh greens and pickled onions. We got two orders for our table of eight and then ordered two more…that’s how good it was.
Next, we shared sweet, syrup-drenched breakfast pastries, roasted rainbow carrots served on a bed of sesame seed hummus, spicy three bean chili, and a super fresh and crunchy Caesar salad, topped with potato bread croutons. You read that right and yes they are delicious. I wanted to ask for a bag of those croutons to go!
The Beverages
Bottomless mimosas at The Fainting Goat brunch include sparkling wine blended with your choice of fresh squeeze orange juice, mango juice, or white cranberry juice. The fresh squeezed OJ is damn good. A variety of other cocktails are available as well.
The Verdict
The Fainting Goat brunch is fun, casual, tasty spot, especially with a big group of friends. Roll up with a group and get your brunch on!
