There’s always something new to enjoy at Saint Kate – The Arts Hotel, 139 E. Kilbourn Ave., whether it’s a brain-jogging new art exhibition, a live musical performance at the bar, or a new culinary experience at one of the hotel’s restaurants.

Among the latest new experiences is the introduction of breakfast at ARIA, the beautifully appointed restaurant on the hotel’s second floor. While Bubbles & Brunch has been a staple on weekends, guests now have the option to enjoy breakfast offerings Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Start off with a cup of Valentine Coffee, or a full complement of coffee drinks including lattes, macchiatos, mochas and cappuccinos. Or indulge in a cup of locally blended Rishi Tea black, green or herbal tea. Brunch-worthy drinks like a classic mimosa and house bloody mary are also on offer.

As for breakfast dishes, the menu ranges from light, healthful options like Overnight Oats flavored with strawberry compote, almond butter, chia seeds, fresh fruit and maple syrup ($9); or a Greek Yogurt Bowl featuring organic granola, chia seeds, almonds, bananas, berries and honey ($13).

Thanks to its nostalgic appeal, the PB&J French Toast – which eats a bit like “breakfast cake” – is also perfect for sharing.
