Reasonably priced with lots of boozy beverages to choose from, the new brunch offering from Barnes & Noble's is a great option for hungry bookworms. Since 2016, Barnes & Noble has launched five full-service restaurants inside its stores. This year, those casual American eateries are offering a [three-course brunch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunday-brunch) just ahead of Mother's Day. The book store brunch menu costs $35 per person and includes the choice of one non-alcoholic beverage. For the first course, diners can choose between hummus, guacamole, or Caesar salad starters. Entree options include braised short ribs, pasta jardinière, plancha-cooked salmon, or brick-cooked chicken. Finally, dessert options range from butterscotch pot de crème, to blackberry mousse napoleon. With many retailers expanding their offerings to include food service, Barnes & Noble's new book store brunch option gives consumers a whole new reason to visit.
