A Warm Welcome to Your Brunch Birthday Bash
Nothing says “let’s celebrate” like sunlight streaming through exposed-brick walls and the gentle hum of excited chatter. At HMD Bar & Grill, our brunch space feels like the friendliest living room in town—cozy booths and high-tops, soft indie playlists, and staff who know the difference between “just one mimosa” and “we’re here to party.” Whether you arrive with balloons in hand or on a spontaneous whim, our team greets you like an old friend, ready to make your birthday brunch utterly unforgettable.
Imagine stepping inside to the scent of fresh-baked pastries, warm coffee, and sizzling breakfast skillets. Your favorite table awaits, decorated per your request, complete with handwritten name tags (if that’s your style) and a small birthday treat on arrival. From the moment you walk in, we set the stage for good times—no stress, just smiles, great food, and clinking glasses. Looking for the best birthday places to go? Look no further.
Why HMD Bar & Grill Makes Celebrations Shine
When you’re planning a birthday brunch with friends and family, you want more than just eggs and bacon. Here’s our secret sauce:
• Personalized Touches: Custom cocktail garnishes, themed napkins, mini photo backdrops.
• Flexible Spaces: Cozy nooks for intimate groups, semi-private alcoves for medium parties, or full-venue buyouts for big blowouts.
• Local Sourcing & Sustainability: Eggs from the family farm down the road, produce from the neighborhood co-op, and coffee roasted by a local micro-roastery.
We believe the best celebrations are down-to-earth and tailored to you. Maybe your party is five close friends who never miss Sunday brunch, or twenty coworkers who need a break from screens. Our layout adapts to both, and our staff works behind the scenes to set up exactly what you need—high chairs, gluten-free plates, or that special dessert platter with sparklers. Every detail adds up.
Our kitchen team loves a creative challenge. Share your favorite culinary memory—a loaded breakfast pizza or a lavender-infused waffle—and we’ll reimagine it. That level of customization means you’re not just a reservation; you’re the star of your own party.
Mouthwatering Menu Highlights
Our brunch menu reads like a love letter to comfort food, replete with modern twists and seasonal accents.

Chef’s Notes & Flavor Stories
Our executive chef, Marisol “Mari” Delgado, draws inspiration from her grandmother’s Andalusian kitchen and her travels through Southeast Asia. Here’s a peek behind the scenes:
• Mari’s first job was as a baker, so every pastry is built layer by layer, prioritizing texture as much as taste.
• The Avocado Smash Toast was born from a onetime surplus of heirloom avocados; today it’s a guest favorite for its balance of creamy, pickled, and crunchy.
• The Garden Frittata changes with the seasons—expect ramps and baby peas in spring, heirloom squashes and sage in fall.
• Chef’s Pairing Tip: Order the Truffle Turkey Hash with our “Sunrise Sour” mocktail for a palate-cleansing burst of citrus.
Toast-Worthy Drinks to Match Every Mood
Brunch without the perfect drink pairing is like balloons without helium—it just won’t rise.
Classic & Elevated Mimosas
• House-champagne mimosa with a twist of orange peel.
• Fresh-pressed juices: Valencia orange, blood orange, grapefruit, pineapple-coconut fusion, and seasonal specials like strawberry-basil in late spring.
• Bottomless mimosa flight: Pick three juices and enjoy unlimited refills (available for groups of six or more).
Boozy Twists & Signature Cocktails
• “Rosé All Day” Spritz: Crisp rosé, elderflower liqueur, soda, and edible pomegranate petals.
• “Spicy Tropic” Michelada: Tequila blanco, house-made Bloody Mary mix, Tajín rim, and mango-habanero garnish.
• “Birthday Cake” Martini: Vanilla vodka, white chocolate liqueur, rainbow-sugar rim, and a candle garnish.
