Best brunch spots in Richmond Hill
Chillax Coffee
If you’re up for Asian fusion brunch, you’ll definitely want to pop into Chillax Coffee, located around the corner from Richmond Green.
I love the industrial vibes of the restaurant, and they even have a cool light bulb sign!
You’ll find a wide variety of brunch and lunch dishes at Chillax, with dishes like their Pork Belly Chicken Banh Mi, Thai Red Curry Clams Spaghetti, and Duck Breast Tonkotsu Ramen.
We typically go for their Eggs Benedicts (choose between smoked duck breast, chashu pork belly, smoked salmon, or Canadian bacon) or Chicken & Waffles (they’re super generous with the portions and the fried chicken is so juicy and flavourful!)
For drinks, they’ve got quite a few coffee and tea options, including their Hojicha Latte (probably one of my faves in the GTA) and Rosy Latte.
You can also find fun and delicious seasonal drinks like their Strawberry Shortcake Cappuccino and Peppermint Mocha!
I like that you can order directly through a QR code at your table, and they used to allow you to pay that way as well, but I think they’ve recently changed this!
Definitely make a reservation or add your name to the Yelp waitlist if you visit on the weekend for brunch, ’cause it gets super busy.
Afterwards, head over to Richmond Green for a post-brunch walk!
LOCATION: 10650 Leslie St #2, Richmond Hill, ON
Elephant Grind Coffee
Elephant Grind Coffee is another awesome brunch spot in Richmond Hill that does classic brunch dishes with a twist.
They do classic and Asian-inspired brunch, with unique dishes like their Char Siu Pulled Pork Eggs Benedict and Lap Cheong Hash.
They also serve up coffee from Hatch Coffee Roasters, a local specialty coffee roaster based out of Markham!
Their interior is also gorgeous, with plenty of wood details and greenery.
You can find Elephant Grind Coffee in a small plaza tucked away near Highway 7 and Leslie.
It gets super busy in the restaurant, so definitely come early to get a table!
LOCATION: 10 East Wilmot St Unit 7, Richmond Hill, ON
Alchemy Coffee
Alchemy is one of Markham’s most beloved brunch spots, and they now have a location in Richmond Hill!
They serve up their unique brunch dishes every single day of the week, whether you’re into bennies or waffles.
Try the Shrimp Benny with shrimp cake, corn, basil mayo, and sautéed peppers, or go for the Duck + Waffle with duck confit, egg, plum sauce, and house salad!
They’ve also got all of the classic coffee fixings, so you can enjoy a good cup of cappuccino with your brunch.
If tea is more your thang, their Hojicha Latte and Peaches & Cream Latte are both really good!
Their Richmond Hill restaurant is super Instagrammable, and you can take an inside look of Alchemy’s Markham location in my TikTok video!
LOCATION: 16 Vogell Rd Unit F, Richmond Hill, ON
Cafe Bon Bon
Cafe Bon Bon is an adorable spot in the Times Square plaza serving up unique Asian fusion brunch dishes.
Go for their Curry Cheese Karaage, Soft Shell Crab Chili Linguine, or Beef Stroganoff Omurice!
They’ve got classic espresso drinks alongside more unique offerings like their Sea Salt Cream Iced Coffee and Mocha Frappé, made with coffee beans from a local roaster.
They also source their teas from Taiwan, and you can choose from drinks like their Roasted Oolong Latte to their Matcha Latte.

Miraas Cafe & Pastry
This adorable café in Richmond Hill serves up freshly-baked treats like Baklava and Qottab (almond pie), Persian-style brunch dishes, and whole leaf and herbal teas served Middle Eastern-style.
Go for the Narges Khatoon, which comes with eggs, spinach, onion, and spices!
They only offer brunch on the weekends, and it’s definitely worth the visit to their rustic-chic space!
LOCATION: 9080 Yonge Street Unit 1 Richmond Hill, ON
Ramona’s Kitchen
Ramona’s is a homey spot that serves up all-day breakfast.
You’ll find all kinds of hearty and drool-worthy brunch dishes, like their Schnitzel Benedict, Challah French Toast, and Brunch Burger.
They’re technically located in Thornhill, but they’re kinda on the border of Richmond Hill!
LOCATION: 7355 Bayview Ave Unit 2, Thornhill, ON
Cora
This popular Canadian breakfast chain has locations all across the GTA, and you can find their Richmond Hill location by Yonge & Elgin Mills.
You’ll find classic breakfast dishes here, including everything from savoury crêpes to sugary pancakes.
Most of their dishes come with a generous side of fruit, which always makes it feel ~healthier~.
Fun fact: I actually used to work as a hostess at Cora’s other location in Richmond Hill, which has since shut down!
LOCATION: 10909 Yonge St, Richmond Hill, ON
Wimpy’s Diner
Wimpy’s is another awesome Canadian chain that serves up delicious diner and breakfast food.

You can find them in Richmond Hill by Bayview & Elgin Mills!

Yang’s Fine Chinese Cuisine
Can dim sum be considered brunch? I mean, we normally eat it around “brunch time”, right? I’m gonna consider it brunch.
Yang’s is my family’s fave dim sum spot in Richmond Hill, and you can find them at Bayview & Weldrick.
You’ll find all the classic dim sum dishes like Siu Mai, Chicken Feet, and Steamed Beef Tripe.
They also have a Salted Egg Yolk Bun that’s delish!
