Family reunion: kid-friendly brunch spots in Edmonton

Milcreek Cafe

1
9562 82 Ave Nw, Edmonton, AB T6C 0Z8

This cute café welcomes kids and groups of all sizes for brunch. The menu is lengthy, and while it’s not child-specific, there are plenty of items that kids will enjoy. Crepes, cinnamon buns, stuffed French toast with Nutella and strawberries, breakfast burritos and yogurt parfaits are just some of the yummy items that both kids and adults will devour happily. There are also lots of dishes that can be modified to be gluten-free or vegan – they offer gluten-free bread and vegan Daiya cheese, too.

New York Bagel Cafe

2
8430 Gateway Blvd NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 4B4

While there are plenty of omelettes on the menu, you know you came here for one thing: A gorgeous, firm but chewy bagel. But, since it’s brunch, slap on some protein too. There’s a whole page of eggs Benedict bagel combos to choose from, with a wide range of toppings, and then you still have to decide what kind of bagel you want holding it all up. This place is crazy loud on weekends, so your kids can join in the commotion without judgement.

Most of the brunch menu is catered to adults but there is a special section just for kids – they can order grilled cheese sandwiches or apple slices and peanut butter if they want something different than mom and dad. This is a great brunch spot to take your kids if they have any food allergies; the menu features vegan and gluten-free options and they are good about accommodating allergies.

Hathaway's Diner

5
13225 132 Street Northwest, Edmonton, AB T5L 1R9

It’s not open on Sundays but their Saturday brunch is still a weekend winner. Their famous eggs Benedict are only available on Saturdays, so why bother ordering something else? This 30-seat diner is tucked away on the north side of the city, but it’s become a bit of a brunch destination for many Edmontonians. Plus, the owner makes homemade pies, and will definitely talk you into having a piece or even taking a whole pie home.
