Why go?

A yellow graphic with a faint city map background reads: “$15ish Meal Map. Explore the map,” with a right-pointing arrow.

Brothmonger is a quintessential, cozy neighborhood lunch spot. The staff focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients, and the menu changes regularly because of that. (Keep an eye out for availability on their Instagram page.) They are always testing out new recipes for soups, sandwiches and sides to keep things exciting, but you’ll find some classics always available on their menu. You’ll also find allergen markers with each item for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc. for our friends with dietary restrictions. Brothmonger is truly such a welcoming spot rooted in quality ingredients & community.

What to order 

Chicken Chowder, Wedding Hoagie ($17), or The Boyfriend Sandwich

Good to know before you go

The menu offerings change with each season, but also can change day-to-day based on availability. When they sell out for the day, they sell out, so keep an eye on their social media to stay in the loop on availability.

Seating is limited to a few indoor tables and when weather permits, a few outdoor tables.

Street parking is the main option in Bloomfield.
