Converse comfort food favorite The Brunch Spot plans to open a second location next month, this one in the former home of Full Belly Cafe + Bar in Olmos Park.

A vinyl sign announcing that The Brunch Spot is “coming soon” hangs at the strip center at 4212 McCullough Ave., and a flyer hangs on the door announcing the restaurant has applied to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission for a mixed beverage permit.

The business’ website is also accepting job applications for the second location.

“Our new Olmos Park location is currently anticipated to open in early December,” a message on the application portal reads. “In preparation for our opening, we are actively collecting and reviewing applications for available positions.”

The Current was unable to reach The Brunch Spot’s owners for comment on their plans.

The Brunch Spot opened its original location at 8022 Kitty Hawk Road in early 2025, serving up hearty breakfast fare ranging from omelets to steak and eggs. Its lunch menu includes Southern favorites such as shrimp and grits and chicken-fried steak.

The Olmos Park strip mall space was left vacant after another homegrown brunch concept, Full Belly Cafe + Bar, quietly shuttered its restaurant there in 2025. Full Belly’s other location, at 427 N. Loop 1604 West, closed the following year.
