New look Same great food!

The all-new Drexels refurbishment, rebrand and menu update dropped recently to an amazing response. In just 10 days we completely transformed the restaurant with a new welcoming, 'good morning' vibe to match our warm, comfy breakfast fare.

Come and see what the buzz is all about! We’re looking forward to showing you around the new space as well as serving you the same delicious food you’ve come to expect from Drexels Breakfast Restaurant.
