Egg Omelet with tomatoes on the side

Whether your brunch starts bright and early at 8:00 or more leisurely at 11:00, there’s no better place to enjoy it than at one of these stellar brunch places that call Medford, OR home. Keep reading to find our top favorites and discover one of your own!

1. Buttercloud Bakery & Cafe

Buttercloud makes every meal daily from scratch using local, in-season ingredients to maximize flavor and quality. Start off with one of their handcrafted drinks such as orange-infused hot chocolate, iced tea made from red mango rooibos, or the Mayan Mocha with cinnamon and bird’s eye chili. Try one or more of the sides including the Veggie Hash with seasonal vegetables and the Grown-Up Grapefruit with torched turbinado sugar for a lighter meal.

All of the biscuit sandwiches are served on signature fluffy Buttercloud Biscuits, and we especially enjoy the Rogue Scramble with rosemary cheddar cheese, the Chicken & Chili with cilantro mayo, and the Zuke & Bell with romesco sauce. Other delicious choices come in the form of brunch plates stacked high with flavorful toppings. Check out the bakery for savory goodies like the Baked Egg Scone or sweet treats including orange pecan sticky buns and mini cream pies.

2. Punky’s Diner & Pies

Punky’s Diner serves homemade breakfast and brunch specialties all day inside of a retro 50’s style diner for an unparalleled experience. We suggest one of the Perfect Combos if you’re looking for a variety of options, and we particularly like the Bread Pudding Combo and the Memphis Grits Combo. Treat yourself to a stack of buckwheat pancakes made from Bob’s Red Mill flour, or ask for the French Toast with three thick slices of Brioche bread and maple syrup.

Only the fluffiest omelets make the cut and both the Sacramento Omelet with avocado and the Pioneer Omelet with gravy and chicken fried steak are guaranteed to delight. Go for one of the American Breakfasts that includes two eggs, your choice of meat, and a bread product for maximum customization. We won’t blame you for grabbing a slice of pie for brunch– one look at the flaky crusts filled with more than two pounds of fruit has us already placing an order.

3. Elmer’s

Elmer’s has collected a fan base across the Northwest since they opened more than 60 years ago, and it’s easy to understand why. The seasonal entrees change six times a year to keep the focus on only the freshest produce, and we’re currently in love with the Marionberry Crepes with cream cheese icing and the Bacon Avocado Omelet with chives. For a blast from the past, ask for one of the Ranch Breakfasts served with hashbrowns or fruit since 1960.

Customers who enjoy savory brunch foods should try the Looking for Sun Omelet with smoky chipotle bacon, the Hungry Rancher Breakfast with honey-cured ham, or the Dungeness Crab Benedict with Northwest crab. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ll love the Lingonberry Crepes with powdered sugar, the Belgian Waffle with whipped butter, the Classic German Pancake with lemon wedges, and the Snoqualmie Falls Oatmeal served with brown sugar and fruit.

Now that you know the best brunch restaurants in town, you’re one step closer to the morning meal of your dreams. Once you’ve browsed the menu and placed your order, stop by Airport Chevrolet GMC in Medford for affordable and quality vehicles, services, parts, and more!
