Pondicheri

If you haven’t yet had everything cardamom-kissed and cinnamon-spiced from this Indo-fusion street eats spot, you’ve been brunching wrong. Remedy that by indulging in options from Pondicheri’s fast-casual cafe and upstairs bake lab. Wake-me-up treats include Everything but the Kitchen Sink Omelets, Ghee Burgers, gluten-free Dosa Waffles laced with your choice of sweet or savory toppings (fresh herbs, nuts, and citrus, just to name a few), Carrot Quinoa Muffins, and a superlative Chai Custard Pie armed with a cookie crust that definitely qualifies as brunch, no matter what the menu says.

Though it’s not completely vegetarian, this Indian Fusion stunner has plenty of plant-based street eats on its Mumbai-style menu, plus an always-refreshing Meatless Monday special. Gear up with Paneer Masala Curries, Smoked Eggplant Dosa, and Black Garbanzo Buddha Burgers before hitting their bake lab for swoon-worthy chocolate-, saffron-, and cardamom-laced sweets. You can also start your morning with Rice and Almond Flour Coconut Pancakes and crepe-like Dosa filled with savory avocado masala, sautéed greens, and pumpkin seed chutney.
