Outstanding food. Very nice staff. Wish I could have tried mire than just breakfast. Close to campus but having a car to drive there was nice. Lots of shops nearby like CVS and UPS Store. read more

We did take out and they forgot our drinks. We paid $9 for two orders of potatoes and only got one serving. Disappointed :(

Unfortunately i went on a Sunday and the bar didn't open until 11. Ill definitely be back though. The OJ was freshly squeezed at their bar, it was super tasty. Heavy on pulp! I ordered toast with an egg and a side of avocado. All of it was incredible ! W read more

Fantastic very yummy and always great service . I always come early tho as the line fills up quick

they do not do takeout!!! only in house or very local delivery! what a shame. their food is decent.

My favorite college brunch spot! Even since graduating, no trip to Oxford is complete without going to Patterson's. I always look forward to their flavored coffee option of the day. Their fresh squeezed orange juice, sourdough French toast, cinnamon pancakes, veggie breakfast quesadilla, and breakfast potatoes are go-to favorites. read more

Yum yum and yum. If the number of people waiting to get in the door tell you anything, it's that this place is one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in Oxford. Totally worth the wait! The eggs benedict dish is just delicious. They have lots of great substitutes, like crab cakes, tomatoes, sausage, or spinach. I stick with the classic English muffin and canadian bacon and it is always cooked perfectly and served with thin sliced and seasoned potatoes. The menu is huge...it's almost impossible to go here and not find something you love! The egg wraps are crispy, melty, deliciousness, but you have to ask for salsa and sour cream with these. The oatmeal is cheap and well-prepared. Patterson's has every omelette you can imagine. The coffee is good, especially the Grog blend. I've never tried the sweet stuff, but I saw a wide variety of pancakes and french toast on the menu. They even had Cookies and Cream pancakes, made with oreos and topped with whipped cream. Sounded great!! Patterson's is slightly off the beaten path in Oxford, but once you find it, you'll remember it whenever you're hungry for breakfast! I can't wait to try their lunch menu next time I'm in Oxford. read more

I can't think of anything wrong with Patterson's other than the long waits... Their food is impeccable. The menu is such diverse. much good food and drinks. One dollar Bud Lights; Can ya dig it?! But seriously, the service is wonderful. My fiance and I had a waiter named Jeremy who was wonderful. I ordered a breakfast burrito and it exceeded my expectations. Perhaps too much. Now I have no idea what I am doing in college here. I dropped out of 3 of my classes. I am only signed up for 6 hours. Oh well. I guess it is true what they say; the cookie doesn't fall far from the tree. Great food and service: 4/5. Would eat 'ere again. read more

Who doesn't love a local cafe?! Patterson's hits the mark every time! They are the best place to get breakfast or brunch in Oxford! In the morning during the week (Monday-Friday) they have a "breakfast club" which is a special menu with great deals and great prices! My favorite is the toast and eggs. Yum! Their pancakes are light and fluffy and fill an entire plate. One is plenty if you're getting other side items. I enjoy their Highlander Grogg coffee and they'll even give you a cup to go if you want! The weekends it's so crowded so I suggest going early on the weekends or checking them out during the week. A great Oxford gem that everyone should check out! read more

Pretty good -- of the sit-down breakfast options in Oxford, this is clearly the best. Plusses: Generally friendly service, big portions (too big, really), and the fresh-squeezed orange juice. Cons: They tend to way overdo it with the potatoes, quality is sometimes varied (got some burned bacon there recently), and the dishes I want to be amazing (e.g., their many eggs benedict variations) are never quite what I want. But, beggars can't be choosers. After years of no breakfast options in Oxford, Patterson's became a passable one at their old location. With the new location, they've expanded their menu and stepped up their game. It's not a gourmet's delight, but it's solid and affordable. They have since expanded their menu for lunch/dinner, but I haven't tried it. It's a place I go for breakfast, and that's likely all it'll ever be to me. read more

Based on the reviews on here I had high hopes for Patterson's. These were somewhat disappointed. For some reason I found their chairs uncomfortable (but my husband assures me they were fine). We were there for breakfast and we both agreed the coffee was pretty terrible. It just didn't taste good. My husband ordered the huevos rancheros, and I had the eggs Benedict. In both cases the presentation was a little sad: A huge amount of orangey home-fried potatoes, which in his case were topped with scrambled eggs and mole sauce and in my case were accompanied with the eggs Benedict--two English muffins with eggs and ham literally drowning in a sea of yellow hollandaise sauce. My husband had already known that his huevos were going to be served with a mole sauce, so that did not surprise him. He did say he would have preferred the eggs to have been over-easy and with more vegetables--tomatoes, peppers etc..he will not order the same thing again. My eggs Benedict, apart from the somewhat unsubtle presentation were actually quite good. The ham was tasty as was the sauce and even the orangey home-fries grew on me. Next time we'll try and get a booth and we'll probably order something else. Maybe we'll try one of the many "eggs in a tortilla option" that bear the unfortunate name of "the fatty" - which I suppose is intended to be humorous but I find just a little off-putting. read more

Excellent breakfast. Definitely intending to go back here on a regular basis.

Patterson's Cafe remains one of the best place for breakfast/brunch. Although it is pricier than other venues in Oxford, you can immediately tell by the atmosphere and quality of food that it is worth the money (with the exception of the OJ... no reason why 16+oz cup of OJ should cost $6, even if its fresh, but I digress). Patterson's breakfast items remain one of the best place in Oxford, and is a great place to go with friends and family. I will have to admit though that their change in dinner menu, although understandable, is not to my liking. One of the aspects I loved most about Patterson's was knowing that I could go anytime of the day and get some quality breakfast food items. Now I'm stuck with expensive dinner times, that are a tad mediocre at best. All in all though, its still a top place for breakfast/lunch goers read more

I'm a Miami alum and went to Patterson's while visiting campus this past weekend. At 10:30 on a Saturday we had a 10-15 minute wait which wasn't too bad. I ordered a cheese and egg bagel sandwich which was fantastic. My dad ordered the Ben's breakfast ($9) which was a ton of food so he shared. The bacon was cooked well, the sausage (real sausage!) was tasty, and the pancake was delightfully fluffy. My brother's waffle with homemade whipped cream was also delicious. I would definitely recommend Patterson's for breakfast, parking is free and readily available which makes for a nice change from the rest of Oxford. You could tell it was a mix of current students curing their hangovers and parents visiting from out of town looking for a great breakfast spot. read more

This is good spot to bring your parents, or recover from a hangover with some quality breakfast food. The coffee tastes great, and they have a huge selection of breakfast favorites for anyone. The French toast, eggs Benedict, and monte cristo are very good. read more

This is a popular breakfast/brunch spot, especially on the weekends. Most of the time, it's worth the wait. The menu is extensive and really delivers. The fresh-squeezed orange juice is great in a mimosa or on its own. The Highlander Grogg coffee is a must-have. During breakfast hours, some of my favorite menu items are the eggs benedict with crab cakes, the Monte Cristo, and the strawberry cream cheese stuffed French toast. During lunch hours, I recommend the lobster bisque. Though there is a lot of seating, there's very little room to wait until a table is ready. The line is usually out the door on the weekends. I would give Patterson's five stars if the service were more consistent. read more

The portions are huge at Patterson's. The service was fine as we went on a Wednesday morning and it wasn't very busy. Our friends had pancakes which were enormous. The lox and bagel caught my eye, but I really didn't want the bagel. So I asked if I could have the lox on a muffin instead and they readily granted my wish. read more

This place is so delicious and efficient. I say efficient because while it's a very small place, they do a great job of getting you seated relatively quickly and serving food quickly as well. The food is amazing, priced reasonably, and clearly fresh. They have an array of options and the portions are beyond generous so it's def worth the money for a hearty breakfast or brunch. read more

This is one of my top three restaurants in town. The food is outstanding. The service is great and the host/hostess/owners are awesome! We've never had a bad experience here. I highly recommend this for breakfast and lunch, but get here early. It's very popular with the college crowd. read more

Always break breakfast spot. I took my girlfriend and her best friend around 11. There was no wait, but it got really busy after we sat down. You can't go wrong with the breakfast bowl. read more

If you love breakfast (even for lunch), then this is the place for you. They have a good breakfast menu and the portions are good. I ordered the homemade strawberry cream cheese French toast and it was good. I was actually expecting a little more with the French toast, like maybe stuffed with cream cheese or something. I didn't expect them to just pour the sauce on top.... read more

Amazing prices. Good fresh food. Friendly staff. We were visiting from out of town and went "late" (1:00 pm on a Sunday). Service was timely. The wrap one of our party ordered was the size of an overstuffed Chipotle burrito. I had turkey and avocado omelet which was very flavorful and fluffy. The turkey had a light smoky taste. Menus are huge and we had a hard time choosing our entree. Would definitely go back. read more

Still my favorite breakfast place in Butler County so far. Breakfast can be busy, especially during the school year. Get there early.

Patterson's is consistently good - good food, good service, good location/parking. I recommend going for breakfast on a weekday, as they get packed early on the weekends. Their breakfast menu is comprehensive and has something for everyone, from yogurt with fruit to omelets to breakfast sandwiches to pancakes (including some distinctive flavors and ingredients). The coffee is good, too. Service at Patterson's is typically above average, which for me is crucial early in the morning. Bad service in the AM gets old pretty quickly, and I unfortunately have little patience for it first thing. It's mostly high school and college-age girls, with smiles on their faces and attentive but not overbearing manners. Prices are moderate - no really sweet deals but the menu doesn't trend quite as high as many other locations in Oxford, either. It's a $8-10 breakfast. I don't get in for lunch as often as for breakfast, but my experiences at midday have always been positive, too. I'll be back. read more

They have breakfast specials if you go between 7 and 9 am, like dollar coffee and $3 French toast. Can't beat it! The food is great and the servers are bright and friendly. I haven't tried it after 9 am but it's a nice place to hang out before work :) read more

See all

Excellent breakfast today with two getting the breakfast Quesadillas, one getting a veggie omelette and one getting a power wrap. All were done just right and very tasty for all. The service is great and the servers are friendly and attentive. Also, it is located away from the busy uptown area with ample parking. read more

If you find yourself in Oxford looking for a good breakfast... The look no further than this little local gem! The fresh squeezed OJ was a great start on my big breakfast. They have a vey extensive breakfast menu covering the basics (bacon, eggs, toast) to some traditional Irish favorites (boxy) and homemade granola. Service was very friendly and food was fast, hot, and fresh. Will definitely be back!! read more

What a find in Oxford! About a 30 minute wait on Saturday morning but the fresh orange juice and delicious breakfast was worth the wait.

We rolled up to Pattersons in search of a cure for a hangover. I had an iced coffee and a breakfast quesadilla. Food was delicious and very reasonable. Our server Sam P was helpful and attentive. I didn't have to ask for a refill. All in all a 10 out of 10 brunch experience in Oxford Ohio. read more

Very good breakfast! This is my favorite meal of the day and, as I did this time, I had it for a late lunch. Menu has a ton of choices, service is very good. We were there during a weekday afternoon on a short trip so it wasn't too busy. Definitely would go back! read more

Patterson's is a great brunch spot when the line isn't 2 hours long. I always get the eggs over easy on top of their delicious blueberry muffins. They also have really good fresh squeezed oj but the potatoes are super average. Good food, waiting sucks. read more

Patterson's Cafe - Paterson's is amazing at brunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oxford, Ohio

We held our son's and future daughter-in-law's wedding rehearsal dinner at Patterson's, and couldn't have been happier with the staff, food, ambience . . . . . . everything! Many great comments on the food, and we had a few people with very specific dietary restrictions. Mike Patterson is a dream to work with, and I would highly recommend him and his staff for any kind of event you may be planning. My only regret is that we live in Austin, TX and won't have the opportunities to go to Patterson's, or the fantastic Cru Gastro Lounge, as often as we would, were we still in Oxford. THANKS MIKE!! read more

Great food and great coffee. Huge pancakes. Delicious food (wife ordered Hangover Special). Very friendly and attentive service. Lunch menu looked good as well - will definitely make this a regular stop when in Oxford. read more

Perfect place to meet up for breakfast in Oxford. Lots of locals. My eggs were great. My son had pancakes and he loved them. Service was good. For sure will come back my next time in town. read more

Ordered a tuna melt sandwich from the enticing "I've gone to grilled cheese heaven" listing in menu. Well, the tuna fish was cold. It was a way too sweet sloppy mess that was mostly mayo and sweet relish - hardly a bite of tuna to be found. The cheese was in fact NOT melted into the cold tuna salad. I told the manager that they really had to rethink their tunafish salad formulation and she simply gave me a blank stare. Well, I guess she was more interested in giving the guy who came in for a job application his paperwork. I think I will not go back. My lunch mate said her lunch was OK. She had soup and a pancake. read more

Cool atmosphere, great menu, solid service, decent food. Went for Fathers Day brunch with large group, they took great care of us. Most ordered breakfast, I had eggs over medium, toast and bangers. Was yummy, especially bangers. Most didn't eat their fried potatoes, complained they were tasteless. I sampled and agreed (maybe spice them up a bit!). Would definitely go back! read more

Humongous menu... everything delicious and hot! Great tasting coffee. Drive 30 min just to try it and it was well worth it.

I had a great brunch there last weekend with my son. The wait was long, but well worth it. Great food product and magical service. I had the lobster eggs Benedict and it was terrific. Even better were the home fries that came with them. I'd definitely go back I'd give the opportunity. read more

Such a great brunch spot in the heart of Oxford, OH. Located within Miami Universities campus, this offers students a great place to catch a nice and hot breakfast. I ordered a egg white omelet with sausage, peppers and avocado. It was amazing! It came with an english muffin and some homemade grape jelly which was such a complimenting side. The sausage had huge flavor and the avocado was fresh as they could be! Every time I come to visit the Miami University this is my first stop for breakfast. read more

This was a nice find in small town Ohio. Anywhere that has good pancakes is a place that I like. Also, the service was perfect. I like the restaurant design and comfort. I'll definitely return if I'm in the area. read more
