Weekends are just so ripe for a delicious brunch with family and friends. The Frisco area has a great mix of family and chain brunch eateries, but where can you find the best breakfast and brunch restaurants in Frisco and Plano? Check out my personal list.
First Watch
For an award-winning breakfast, brunch and lunch favorite, look no further than First Watch for innovative creations alongside traditional dishes with all freshly prepared to order. Try the ground turkey biscuits and gravy, flavorful coffee, amazing mimosas, tasty waffles and pancakes. Oh my! And the maple bacon is the bomb! It does tend to get a bit full on the weekends, but you can call ahead or go online to get on their waitlist.

Press Waffle Co
As seen on ABC’s Shark Tank!, Press Waffle Co. specializes in fully customizable authentic Belgian waffles, savory waffle creations, plus locally roasted coffee. These guys started as a family-owned food truck in 2016 and have grown to multiple shops across state lines. Of course, you must try their majestic tower of sweetness, House Waffle. The waffle is warm, and the whipped cream on the top is cold, with strawberries and chocolate syrup in the middle. An awesome combination!
