It’s a well-known fact that breakfast foods are the best. After all, who can resist a plate of fluffy waffles or crispy bacon? And “breakfast for dinner?” That’s every parent’s favorite trick. Yelp’s family brunch in Cincinnati guide features 5 kid friendly restaurants in Cincinnati. But be warned: this roundup will result in serious pancake cravings.
School’s out for summer! The house is a wreck, there’s no food in the fridge and it’s officially the weekend. What’s a family to do? Give yourself a break, skip the clean up and head out to one of Cincinnati’s best brunches — kiddo approved!
Sleepy Bee Cafe
Location: Oakley & Blue Ash
A healthier alternative for the whole family — and the best part? They even have a ”Food for the Brood” menu just for kids to go along with their Sleepy Bee coloring kit.
Pro Tip: Order the Shape Cakes. These pancakes arrive in three different shapes and they can use their toppings to make fun friends. Educational and delicious, who doesn’t love that?
Half Day Cafe

Hectic work week? Sleep in if you can as Half Day Cafe serves breakfast until 2 p.m. daily — and they even have a carry out window dedicated to feeding busy families on the go! This small town cafe takes pride in sourcing local ingredients and their menu rotates seasonally.
Sugar n’ Spice
