The Brunch Club: A New Culinary Gem in Rochester's Ridge Marketplace

Rochester's dining landscape has been invigorated with the arrival of The Brunch Club, a vibrant new eatery nestled at 150 Marketplace Boulevard, Unit 1 in The Ridge Marketplace.

 

Since its grand opening in May 2025, marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce, this establishment has quickly become a local favorite.

 

At the helm is Connor McNamara, a dedicated restaurateur who, after years in the industry, chose to channel his passion into creating a welcoming brunch destination for the community.

 

McNamara's vision was clear: to establish a space where residents could gather over quality, scratch-made meals in a relaxed atmosphere.

 

"We wanted to create a place that feels good from the moment you walk in—where great food and friendly faces meet," McNamara shared during the opening event.

 

"Brunch is all about connection—spending time with friends, family, and our community."

 

The menu at The Brunch Club is a delightful blend of classic and innovative dishes.

 

Diners can indulge in traditional favorites like buttermilk pancakes and hearty omelets, or explore creative specials that celebrate New England flavors.

 

Emphasizing inclusivity, the restaurant offers a variety of vegetarian and vegan options, all crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

 

Beyond its culinary offerings, The Brunch Club is deeply committed to community engagement.

 

McNamara and his team have partnered with local organizations to support families in need, reflecting their dedication to giving back to the city that has embraced them.

 

Situated in The Ridge Marketplace, The Brunch Club joins a dynamic array of local businesses contributing to Rochester's reputation as a vibrant hub for dining, shopping, and entertainment.
