Sunday Mornings Are Sweeter at Bowerman’s on 8th
In Holland, Michigan, Sunday mornings come with their own rhythm: slow coffee, good company, and something delicious on the table. For locals and visitors alike, there’s no better place to spend it than Bowerman’s on 8th. Our Sunday brunch brings farm-fresh ingredients, house-made baked goods, and a little hometown charm to every plate.
Whether you're craving comfort food, fresh flavors, or something sweet to start your day, our team at Bowerman’s makes brunch feel personal. Just like everything we do, it’s built around the fruit and flavors we grow, bake, and love most.
Brunch That Starts With the Farm
From the blueberries in our compote to the seasonal quiche and house-made preserves, our brunch menu is full of ingredients you can trace back to the soil. Many dishes start with Michigan-grown produce and are made from scratch in our kitchen just steps from the market. This means you’re not just enjoying brunch. You’re tasting something rooted in West Michigan.
And when brunch pairs with Michigan baked goods straight from our bakery case, the experience only gets better.
Blueberry Baked Goods and Breakfast Classics
Our bakers start early on Sunday mornings to fill the café with the smell of blueberry donuts, coffee cake, muffins, and warm pastry. These are the things you pick up on impulse and never regret.
Planning a full brunch sit-down? Here’s how some of our favorites pair perfectly with treats from the bakery:
The Bowerman’s Classic French Toast and A Blueberry Muffin To-Go
Two thick slices of brioche with blueberry compote, candied pecans, and whipped cream served with bacon or sausage. Add a warm muffin for the car ride home or tomorrow’s breakfast. You’ll be glad you did.
Quiche Plate and Blueberry Coffee Cake
Our Bacon, Cheddar and Caramelized Onion Quiche is paired with a citrus arugula salad and a slice of sweet, cinnamon-streaked coffee cake. It’s a brunch and bakery combo that hits every note.
Buttermilk Pancakes and Donuts for the Table
Choose blueberry or plain, drizzle with almond glaze, and serve with a side of crispy bacon. Then pass around a few of our famous donuts for a shared sweet finish.
Country Hash and Blueberry Preserves on Toast
Redskin potatoes, spinach, sausage, and eggs served with sourdough and a side of our house-made blueberry preserves. It’s hearty and homemade, just like brunch should be.
Seasonal Specials and Local Favorites
No two weekends are quite the same at Bowerman’s on 8th. Our team loves to rotate in new quiche flavors, try fresh produce from the farm, and offer seasonal baked goods that keep things exciting.
When Michigan strawberries are in season, we’ll slice them into a weekend French Toast stack. When fall rolls in, our bakers bring out pumpkin muffins and apple crisp. That’s part of the charm. You never know what extra treat might show up in the case.
If you’re a regular, you already know the drill. If it’s your first visit, our bakery team will gladly help you pick the perfect sweet to round out your plate.
Something for Everyone, Even the Littles
Bringing kids? We’ve got a full Kids’ Menu that’s just the right size for smaller appetites. Try Three Silver Dollar Pancakes with sprinkles or Grilled Cheese Dippers with tomato soup. Every kid’s meal comes with mandarin oranges on the side, because balance matters.
Round it out with a fresh donut or a cookie from the bakery case and you’ve got a brunch that keeps everyone happy.
Sip Something Special with Your Sunday Brunch
At Bowerman’s on 8th, brunch isn’t just about what’s on your plate. It’s about what’s in your cup, too. We believe a cozy latte, refreshing iced tea, or sparkling mimosa can turn a good brunch into a great one.
Our drink menu is full of signature creations you won’t find anywhere else in Holland. Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast, a tea lover, or just in the mood for something fun, there’s a perfect pairing waiting for you.
Mimosas, of Course
What’s brunch without a mimosa? We offer classic orange juice mimosas as well as seasonal twists when fresh fruit is in peak season. Ask your server what’s available this week. It’s the kind of bubbly touch that makes a slow Sunday feel like a mini celebration.
House-Made Lemonades and Teas
Our Blueberry Hibiscus Lemonade is a guest favorite. It’s tangy, a little sweet, and beautifully pink from real blueberries and hibiscus flowers. For something more soothing, try the Blueberry Lavender Iced Tea or our refreshing Kombucha brewed with a touch of blueberry and lavender.
Coffee and Lattes with a Local Spin
We take our coffee seriously, with bottomless drip options in flavors like Blueberry, Waffle, and Windmill Cookie. Or upgrade to a specialty latte crafted with love by our baristas. A few fan favorites:
Blueberry Donut Latte – Blueberry, vanilla, and white chocolate in one comforting sip
Blueberry Pie Latte – Blueberry and brown butter for that warm pie-in-a-mug feel
Windmill Cookie Latte – Hints of almond, honey, and spice inspired by the Dutch classic
Cafe Miel – Lightly sweet with honey and cinnamon
Snickers Latte – Chocolate, caramel, and hazelnut for the sweet tooth in the group
Prefer something without caffeine? Try the Holland Fog Tea Latte, or the Daily Beauty Tea Latte made with blueberry lavender tea and steamed almond or oat milk. Visit our full drink menu to see all our delicious options!
