    Hi Zips, unfortunately, this list was designed to give people a variety of options for Easter. I do not at this point have an exhausted list of places for Easter Brunch besides the several I listed. Stay tuned for a super list for Mother’s Day!

  2. zips says:

    hi… looking for a list of Akron-area restaurants recommended for Easter Brunch. I see there are a few here (CVSP, Hudson’s, etc), but am looking for a longer, more comprehensive list….

    Easter-bunny, egg-hunt, etc are not needed….

    any links to sites, or other ideas, will be most welcome

  3. Amanda says:

    Great list!
    This one says Sat. April 19th was that to be Sat the 16th or Tuesday the 19th…

    Join the Free Easter Eggstravaganza at Pathway Church for games, prizes, food, Easter Egg Hunt, and more on Saturday, April 19, 2011

    Also,
    the Garfield Egg roll, there is no time listed I tried to find the info on their site but it says April 5th (Tuesday) at 1:00. Have you seen any other listings that would confirm the date or time?
    Thank you!

  4. Cindy says:

    Thank you, Angela. The CVSR has an Easter Brunch and just a regular brunch now until May, so if you can’t catch the Easter brunch, catch the regular, it’s phenomenal. I’ll add your Easter Event, thank you!

  5. Angela Laakso says:

    Thank you for this GREAT list! I had no idea the CVSR offered an Easter brunch … this is something new and exciting i think the kids will love!

    I have one additional item you can list, as we’re taking part this weekend and it is a pretty good deal. The Panini’s in Strongsville is hosting a breakfast with the Easter Bunny this Saturday morning.

    Here is a copy/paste of the info: Saturday April 16, 2011 Breakfast with the Easter Bunny, 3 seatings 9:00, 9:45, 10:30, reservations strongly recommended, $6 per person. http://www.strongsvillepaninis.com for more info.

  9. Danielle Wiseman says:

    Hi- I have two more events for you to add- btw thank you for all the work you did to compile that awesome list!!

    Tomorrow at Mr. Fun’s in Cuyahoga Falls at 1 pm there is a free hunt and games (indoors).
    April 17 there is a free hunt at Firestone Park from 2-5 at the Coventry Oaks Pavilion.

  10. Cindy says:

    Thanks, Michelle. We went to the Spring Lambing Days a couple weeks ago, that’s a MUST-SEE to add to your list! We have been on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad for their brunch just over the weekend, was delicous, I’d recommended that for families or couples for their Easter Brunch, will be pretty with new buds on the trees, green fields, and flowers.

    I’ve been to the Copley Easter Egg hunt when it was at the park, it was fabulous. Also went to the Waterworks Park hunt and it was amazing with the petting zoo last year. We’ve been to Beau’s Grill for Mother’s Day Brunch before, so I’m sure it is similar to the Easter Brunch – it was fabulous!

  11. Michelle says:

    Wow! I love this list. I have to sit down and look over it again later this week to decide which ones we will be going to. I’ve been to the Easter play at Highway Tabernacle in Austintown. I know someone who is in it every year and it’s a great play!
