Tower Cafe
A popular Land Park spot opened in 1990, renowned for its garden patio, weekend brunch, and French toast.
Opened in 1990 right next to the historic Tower Theatre, this is a highly popular dining spot in the Land Park area. Its garden patio is a major draw, and long lines are common for weekend brunch. The menu fuses flavors from around the world, featuring Jamaican jerk chicken, Thai green curry, and an East African-style veggie burger. The signature French toast is made with French bread soaked in a secret custard and topped with whipped butter, while the steak frites with spicy miso sauce is perfect for sharing. Walk-ins are welcome, but expect a wait during peak hours. Sandwich-style mains cost around $20–$22. The cafe closes early in the afternoon on Mondays and Tuesdays. Located at 1518 Broadway.
