Easter Brunch Buffet at Franklin Cafe

Join us for Brunch Buffet on Sunday, April 5, 2026, from 11:00 AM–4:00 PM. Expect a Spring Sunday with room to linger — plus bottomless sparkling wine and mimosas, because we make it easy to raise a glass.

Gather with friends and family on the brick patio and front porch, or take a seat inside our thoughtfully restored dining room, where the historic details do the talking. However you choose to spend it, it’s a table made for unhurried conversation — and we’re here to help you enjoy every moment (and the memories that come with it).

Reservations recommended.
