Blessings Herbs and Coffee is a perfect mix between coffee shop and brunch place. It has an eclectic selection of brunch food items (including a savory pancake with Mexican flare) that are ordered at the counter and brought to the table. The prices are affordable, and since alcohol is not served there’s no danger of getting carried away with too many cocktails. The staff is friendly and creates a wonderful, homey atmosphere. The space is decorated with mismatched tables and chairs, and there are esoteric used books lining the walls. Blessings also boasts incredible pastries. There are live music performances during the day on the weekends. Blessings is a truly wonderful place to laze away the hours.

Tucked inside of Delroy’s Café and Wine Bar, you’ll only catch this place on Saturday and Sunday from 11AM to 5PM, with Waynie himself serving up the delectable waffles.
