It’s graduation season. And while some schools, like our friends at Southeastern University, have already walked the stage and tossed their caps, students at Florida Southern College, Florida Polytechnic University, Keiser University, and Polk State College still have a momentous occasion to look forward to.
What pairs best with closing a significant chapter? Opening an appetizing menu. Check out these brunch spots for your graduation celebrations.
- Born & Bread Bakehouse, 1113 Florida Ave. S. | Get that messy cruffin, you’ve earned it.

- The Brunch Box, 735 E. Memorial Blvd. | Did you know they have an all-you-can-eat option? Get fried fish, grits, hush puppies + more for $15.
- Cob & Pen, 1221 Florida Ave. S. | Release some steam with a game of cornhole after brunch.
