The Greater Rochester Chamber of Commerce was pleased to hold a ribbon cutting for The Brunch Club, located at 150 Marketplace Blvd., Unit 1 in The Ridge Marketplace, to celebrate their grand opening and welcome them as a new Chamber member.
Owner Connor McNamara, who recently relocated to Rochester, recognized a need for a local brunch destination where the community could gather and enjoy quality meals in a welcoming environment. After an extensive search, he secured the location at The Ridge and, along with his team, has been hard at work renovating the space, hiring staff, and preparing for the launch.
Connor, who holds a master’s degree in criminal justice, shifted gears after years in the restaurant industry to pursue his passion for hospitality. The original Brunch Club opened in Dover in December 2023.
The Brunch Club is committed to crafting nearly all menu items from scratch in-house, sourcing ingredients locally whenever possible. The restaurant prides itself on offering a menu that caters to a broad range of tastes, including accommodations for dietary restrictions such as allergies, vegetarian, and vegan preferences. Guests can expect a friendly and engaging atmosphere created by a dedicated staff.
In line with its community-focused values, The Brunch Club has already partnered with the SHARE Fund in Rochester. They are hosting a food drive throughout May, during which anyone donating an item will be entered into a gift card raffle. At the end of the month, the Brunch Club will match all donations and continue stocking what will be designated as the “The Brunch Club” shelf in the local pantry.
The restaurant also supports local creatives through a local artist program, offering a rotating six-week gallery for artists to showcase and sell their work. Seventeen artists are already lined up, and interested individuals can reach out via brunchclubrochester@cjmhospitalitygroup.com for more information.
The Brunch Club is open Sunday–Tuesday, 7:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m., and Wednesday–Saturday, 7:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. Happy Hour runs Wednesday–Saturday, 3:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m., with dinner service beginning at 3:00 p.m. daily. Brunch is available all day, every day.

The Chamber congratulates Connor and his team and looks forward to seeing The Brunch Club thrive as a valued part of Rochester’s growing business community.
