Bearcat Cafe combines warehouse-chic vibes with a vibrant menu brimming with inventive vegan and gluten-free brunch options, perfect for any morning adventure.
"This all-purpose cafe makes for an excellent stop before a noon or midday game, offering vast breakfast and lunch menus featuring everything from the Couyon Daddy biscuit with fried chicken, crab dip, and sunny egg to vegan huevos rancheros for breakfast, and for lunch, a seafood pot pie, mushroom katsu sandwich, and vegan queso, for example. Cocktails, beer, and a refreshingly long list of non-alcoholic drink options round out the offerings." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell
"Bearcat looks like any trendy restaurant that opened in the mid-to-late 2010s: huge windows, succulents all around, somewhat industrial decor, and a neutral color scheme. But it’s the breakfast dishes that make this place special, not the numerous jade plants. Go for the housemade chia pudding and the Cat Momma biscuit with spicy lemon butter crab sauce. The biscuits are soft, warm, and some of the butteriest on this guide. The vegan food here is also a highlight, particularly the ranchero bowl filled with black beans, avocado, and salsa, topped with creamy cashew crema and slightly spicy ranchero sauce. Order a butterfly matcha lemonade to pair with everything." - megan braden perry
"It should come as no surprise that Bearcat’s wide-ranging menu includes a section for breakfast burritos, ranging from a classic Southwest style wrap with black beans and bacon to versions featuring skirt steak, Gulf shrimp, or mushrooms and Boursin as the star. The longtime locals favorite offers vegan, gluten-free, and keto breakfast burritos on the menu, too. Available at the downtown location only." - Clair Lorell
"Bearcat in the CBD is a crazy busy location for the popular breakfast/brunc /lunch spot that also has a presence Uptown. For sure the CBD will be open, dishing biscuits every which way, from smothered with gravy to topped with friend chicken, creamed spinach and an egg — that’s the Big Rob." - Beth D'Addono
"A Jena Street city favorite for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dining, Bearcat Cafe recently expanded with a new downtown cafe. The menu is split into Good Cat and Bad Cat sections, and is open for breakfast and lunch with vegan rancheros, vegetarian portobello Philly, and vegan queso, to name a few." - Clair Lorell
