Spring in Volusia and Flagler Counties means longer days, perfect temperatures, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy brunch outdoors. Whether you’re looking for a cozy café, a waterfront retreat, or a lively spot with tropical vibes, we have some fantastic brunch destinations that pair delicious food with the perfect springtime atmosphere. Here are my go-to spots for a glorious spring brunch experience:
1. Rose Villa – Ormond Beach
🌸 Charming Southern Elegance
Nestled in a beautifully restored Victorian home, Rose Villa Southern Table & Bar is one of my favorites for its classic Southern flavors with a modern twist. Their chicken & waffles, fried green tomatoes, shrimp & grits, and bourbon pecan French toast make for the perfect leisurely brunch, best enjoyed on their picturesque front porch under the shade of century-old oaks.
2. Spanish River Grill – New Smyrna Beach
☀️ Coastal-Inspired Brunch with a Latin Flair
For those who love a creative and flavor-packed brunch, Spanish River Grill in NSB delivers. This local favorite is known for its Cuban French toast, chorizo and eggs, and savory huevos rancheros. Pair your meal with a spicy Bloody Mary or a fresh mimosa, and you’ve got the perfect weekend start.
3. Third Wave Café – New Smyrna Beach
🌿 Garden Oasis & Craft Brunch Cocktails
The charming, laid-back bohemian atmosphere at Third Wave Café is the ideal brunch spot. The shaded garden patio, with its twinkling string lights and lush greenery, provides a relaxing springtime setting. Their menu includes avocado toast, smoked salmon eggs Benedict, and ricotta pancakes, all beautifully plated and sourced from fresh, local ingredients.
4. Beach Bucket – Daytona Beach
🌊 Brunch with Panoramic Ocean Views & Beachy Vibes
For a true beachside brunch experience, Beach Bucket in Daytona Beach is a hidden gem. Just steps from the sand, this casual and breezy spot offers omelets, waffles, and breakfast burritos that taste even better with an ocean breeze. Order a bucket-sized mimosa or sangria, kick off your sandals, and soak in the salty air!
