Families flock to outdoor breakfast spots

The weekend breakfast scene at 'Breakfast Point' has become a sensation, with families and couples flocking to enjoy not only delicious food but also the serene surroundings, creating a new weekend tradition. A shift is underway in how families across Pakistan are embracing their weekend mornings. Rather than sticking to traditional indoor breakfasts, many are now opting for the great outdoors, especially in parks and scenic spots. This trend is rapidly gaining momentum, particularly among young families who value quality time together in nature. According to recent reports, outdoor family breakfasts are quickly becoming the new norm. Parks, gardens, and scenic spots are seeing an increase in gatherings, with families enjoying the fresh air and picturesque views as they share breakfast. "We love spending our Sunday mornings at Bagh-e-Jinnah in Lahore," shares a mother of two, highlighting the appeal of fresh air and green spaces for weekend bonding. In response to the rising demand, local vendors are tailoring their offerings to cater to this new tradition. Popular breakfast spots now feature special menus, including everything from parathas, omelettes, haleem, and nihari, to fresh juices. Some are even offering themed breakfasts, such as traditional Pakistani dishes or international options like pancakes and waffles. For many, the outdoors have become an extension of home. "It's a great way to spend time with family while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful surroundings," says another local citizen. A father of three from Islamabad adds, "We often visit Shakarparian Hills on weekends. It's a wonderful way to bond with our kids and create lasting memories." This outdoor breakfast trend isn't confined to just one city. Breakfast points in Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Karachi are also capitalizing on this growing interest. "We've seen a huge uptick in demand for outdoor breakfasts on weekends," says the owner of The Breakfast Club in Lahore's Gulberg, noting that their special outdoor menu and relaxed ambiance have become a favorite among customers. Hotels and restaurants in Islamabad are also catching on. One well-known hotel reports that more and more guests are opting for outdoor seating to enjoy their meals with a scenic view. In Karachi, a popular restaurant sees the same trend. "We offer a buffet-style breakfast with a variety of options, and our outdoor seating area is always packed on weekends," says Maria, a restaurant representative. As this trend continues to grow, it's clear that outdoor family breakfasts have become a cherished weekend tradition. Whether it's a visit to a scenic park, a rooftop café, or a small family-run eatery, families are finding new ways to make their weekends special and memorable.

Breakfast Point Academy's Melinda Cowart excels in nurturing kids

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WMBB) – Melinda Cowart has been teaching at Breakfast Point since the school was founded. She has always felt her calling was to work with young children, and she undoubtedly excels in her role teaching kindergarten. Her co-workers say one of the many reasons why Cowart is so successful is because of her attitude. 'She is so caring, she is just selfless, and I adore her so very much,' said Breakfast Point Academy Kindergarten Teacher Samantha Graham. 'She helps us, she helps my family. But beyond that, with the students and everything at school, she does the same thing.' Rosenwald High counselor builds student trust through openness Cowart knows what it takes to teach her students effectively. 'We really have to kind of step into that role of educator, but also very nurturing and making them feel comfortable here at school,' Cowart added. 'I love that we can do that.' 'She is always walking around, she's always helping all the children,' Graham went on to say. 'Her relationship with the kids is so sweet, it's like they're her own children.' Cowart and Graham split the teaching responsibilities in their classroom with Cowart focusing on math, science, and social studies, and Graham handling English Language Arts. They both love this new dynamic of co-teaching as it grants both teachers the opportunity to work and bond with more kids. 'Instead of having 17, 18, 19 kids, I have 33, 34, 35 children that I see throughout the day,' Cowart said. 'It's kind of special in that way that I actually touch not just my small, normal classroom, but I touch two sets of students.' That is what makes Melinda Cowart a Class Act. If there is someone out there who you believe is a Class Act, make sure you nominate them today. All school employees are eligible for this award. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
