Serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, this cafe in Liberty Center is a must-have for any relaxing trip. Regardless of what time of the day you decide to go, the food is locally grown, organic, and delicious. But personally, this is a brunch favorite. Their Cloud Nine Pancakes are light and fluffy, made with ricotta and topped off with maple syrup and fresh bananas. Choose from nine different breakfast cocktails, including the classic mimosa (a staple for any girls day brunch!) Check out the full menu here.
3. Agave & Rye
You can never go wrong with tequila and tacos while you're out with your besties. Agave & Rye has 19 epic tacos on their menu accompanied by a large list of specially made tequila or bourbon cocktails. In the mood for classic margaritas, bourbon punch, beer or wine...there's something for everyone. This is an ideal spot for lunch or dinner, offering plenty of shareable appetizers, salads, chef-inspired tacos, and delicious desserts. The restaurant has a super fun, funky atmosphere which makes for an epic happy hour too.
The best "treat yourself' treat! Molly's Cupcake's are known to some as the best cupcakes ever. These cupcakes will instantly take you to your happy place, and with such a diverse menu...even the pickiest eater is sure to find what they like. Choose your cake flavor— vegan options included, frosting, toppings and/or one of Molly's famous fillings. Grab a dozen for your group to share, or stop by for an afternoon snack to enjoy a Mini Molly!
This unique cafe and pub is a great choice for dinner, or Sunday morning brunch. Cozy's Cafe and Pub fully embraces farm-to-table cooking, and delivers on gourmet comfort food with an imaginative twist. Have a seat in a farmhouse dining room, get cozy in the industrial style pub, or sit fireside on the patio enjoying live entertainment. Their menu was made for a girl's get-together. Start off with a charcuterie board and then try out their amazing steak and seafood entrees. If the girls want to try brunch, you can't go wrong with their chicken & waffles... and be sure to grab a mimosa pitcher for the table!
Other Food Options— The Liberty Center has a ton of different dining options for any time of the day or night. The best part? Majority of them are all within walking distance of each other.

Spend some time in the Roosevelt Room which is a bar designed entirely after 26th U.S. President, Teddy Roosevelt. With great decorations, ambience, a great tap list, and inspired cocktails like the The Roosevelt or The Monocle, your friend group is bound to have a great time!

Is your friend group a bunch of movie lovers? Or maybe your reason for a Friend's Weekend was to escape the stress of work or home for a bit?
