- Blue Sky Bakery, which we profiled last year, is launching brunch just in time for Father's Day. It's BYOB, and plenty of tickets (which you need to buy in advance) are still available. The menu will feature local produce and cheese, in mouth-watering combinations. Start with an assortment of pastries (try the blueberry cheesecake muffins) and move onto baked French toast with local raspberries. Fruit salad, coffee and juices are also included, and they have OJ and bloody mary mix on hand if you bring some booze. The whole thing is only $17 per person ($12 for kids). Can't be beat. Purchase tickets for either 11 AM or 2 PM. more ›
