At Overflow Coffee, we’ve always believed brunch should be more than just a meal — it should be an experience worth clearing your morning for. Tucked inside the Click Collection Hotel near Medanta Hospital in Golf City, our cafe is built for the kind of slow, unhurried weekend mornings (and lazy weekday ones) that Lucknow has been quietly missing. Drawing on more than ten years in specialty coffee, we’ve poured everything we know into building a brunch experience here in Lucknow that we genuinely believe in.
A Brunch Spot That Actually Feels Good to Be In
Brunch only works when the space works. Ours has an energy that’s hard to manufacture — warm without being loud, relaxed without feeling neglected. It’s the kind of place where a solo laptop-and-eggs morning feels just as natural as a table of four lingering over a second round of coffee. The clean aesthetic, natural light, and unhurried pace all work together to put you at ease the moment you walk in.
Located on the ground floor of Click Collection Hotel near Medanta, we’re easily accessible from Golf City and the surrounding neighbourhoods — which makes us a natural answer to that recurring search for brunch near me if you’re anywhere in that part of Lucknow.
All-Day Breakfast — The Heart of Brunch in Lucknow
The all-day breakfast section is where we’ve worked hardest to earn a reputation as one of the best brunch spots in Lucknow. These aren’t afterthought egg dishes. Each plate reflects real care — in sourcing, in technique, and in how the flavours are put together.
The Truffle Scrambled Eggs (₹350) is one of those dishes that becomes a habit. Eggs with truffle oil and cream cheese, finished with parmesan snow, rosemary potatoes, and arugula — rich, layered, and brilliant alongside a cortado. The Turkish Labneh (₹475) is another standout: poached eggs over garlic yogurt with chilli crunch and microgreens, served with warm pita. Comforting, but with enough edge to keep things interesting.
If you’re settling in for a proper weekend brunch, the Breakfast Burrito (₹625) — available with chicken sausage or paneer — is a full meal in itself. Scrambled eggs, bell peppers, mushrooms, fries, guacamole, and pico de gallo, all wrapped together and served with potatoes on the side. And the Avocado Toast (₹675), with balsamic cherry tomato, whipped feta, and spiced apple chutney on sourdough, is exactly as good as it looks — and then some.
Sunday Brunch in Lucknow, Done Properly
Sundays at Overflow have their own pace. Tables fill up slowly, conversations stretch longer, and people order that second flat white without checking the time. If you’re looking for somewhere to spend a Sunday brunch in Lucknow that doesn’t rush you out the door, this is it. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are a good idea on weekends — we tend to fill up between 11 AM and 2 PM.
For groups, the brunch menu pairs especially well across the table: order the Truffle Scrambled Eggs, the Turkish Labneh, the Breakfast Burrito, and an Avocado Toast between four people, add a round of coffees, and you’ve covered the spectrum.
The Coffee — Which Is, After All, the Whole Point
Here’s what makes brunch at Overflow genuinely special: the coffee program is excellent. We source our roasted beans through Bloom Coffee Roasters, and it shows in every cup. As a barista trainer, I notice when a cafe takes extraction seriously — grind consistency, milk texture, attention to temperature. We do all of it properly.
The espresso-based menu covers the classics with confidence — Flat White (₹275), Cortado (₹250), Cappuccino (₹275) — but the Specials section is where things get interesting. The Pistachio Latte (₹500), made with pistachio praline and sweetened condensed milk, is the kind of drink that earns its own fan base. The Spanish Latte (₹350) — espresso, caramel sauce, and condensed milk — is equally compelling. For filter coffee lovers, the Pour Over (₹300) is brewed by hand at your table using rotating single-origin offerings. That alone is worth a visit.
Specialty tea from Anandini Himalaya Tea and gut-friendly Kombucha from Atmosphere Studio round out the menu for non-coffee drinkers — a thoughtful touch that reflects how seriously we consider every element of the brunch experience.
Built on Real Collaborations
One thing that stands out about Overflow is that it hasn’t tried to do everything in-house for the sake of it. Instead, the team has partnered with people who are genuinely best-in-class in their respective categories. Bloom Coffee Roasters for the beans. Anandini Himalaya Tea for the specialty teas. Atmosphere Studio for the kombucha. Fresh Choice Farms for the non-veg proteins. These aren’t decorative partnerships, they directly shape the quality of what ends up on your table and in your cup.
Save Room for the Bakery
If you’re visiting for brunch, do yourself a favour and order something from the bakery section before you leave. The Berry Cheesecake (₹450) — baked, creamy, on a buttery biscuit base with berry compote is is a must-try for those who love a classic balance of tart and sweet. The Lemon Tart (₹325), with its torched meringue and zesty curd in a vanilla sablé shell, is a close second. The Chocolate Hazelnut Pastry (₹450) with salted hazelnut crème and milk chocolate mousse is the one to order if you’re in the mood for something truly indulgent.
Something for Every Dietary Preference
Overflow’s menu is genuinely inclusive without making it a point of pride; it just quietly covers all bases. Gluten-free options are marked (GF), vegan dishes are clearly identified (VE), and dairy-free alternatives are available. Alternative milks — oat or almond — can be added to any coffee drink for ₹25. Whether you’re eating meat, going vegetarian, or keeping it fully plant-based, there’s a satisfying meal here for you.
