Sunday mornings in Pembroke Pines move slow, but the brunch game here is anything but. You’ve got spots like Kaluz rolling out hot towels for your hands and others where you’ll share a sticky protein waffle with a toddler from the next booth.

We hit a dozen places, from a Cuban joint that feels like a block party to a cozy Italian corner with the best calamari around town. Staff remembered our orders, our allergies, and one waitress even remembered our dog.

So grab a mimosa, stretch out the paper, and get ready to plan your next weekend. Here’s where to eat.

Another Broken Egg Cafe

Pancakes and grits hit hard
Service makes you return

Another Broken Egg Cafe is the kind of place where the staff remembers your name. And your order. And probably your dog's name too. They treat you like family, which is sweet until they tease you about the extra pancake. But those pancakes hit hard. So do the grits. Everything tastes fresh, like someone actually cared about the food. The mimosas are perfect for sharing, though you won't want to. Service is the reason you come back. That, and the urge to try every single thing on the menu. It's a brunch that feels like a hug, if hugs came with a side of syrup.
