A Brunch Menu That Works for Everyone

At Ostro Café, brunch isn’t just about eggs and toast, it’s a full menu of fresh, satisfying options. You can start simple with eggs and cheese, a bacon, eggs & cheese sandwich, or even a classic bagel with cream cheese or smoked salmon.

For something heartier, their sandwiches and wraps stand out:

Grilled Chicken Sandwich with cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and mayo
Vegan Sandwich stacked with avocado, sweet corn, cheddar, olives, and hummus
Turkey Club with oven-roasted turkey, Swiss cheese, bacon, and mayo
Chicken Caesar Wrap with grilled chicken, parmesan, and croutons

If you prefer lighter choices, Ostro also offers fresh salads like Greek, Caesar, Chicken, Tuna, and even a Shrimp Salad with avocado and shaved parmesan.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Ostro without drinks: Spanish latte, matcha in multiple flavors (strawberry, mango, blueberry, coconut, dirty matcha), and bubble milk tea in mango, strawberry, taro, and Thai tea. Smoothies like Banana Almond Protein, Tropical, and Mixed Berries round out the menu perfectly for a brunch that can be light, energizing, or indulgent, depending on your mood.
