Keke's Breakfast Cafe, the Orlando-based breakfast and brunch chain, rolled out a slate of summer menu additions on May 26, anchored by an Avocado Toast launch, a new beverage lineup, and the return of its $5 Summer Kid's Meal Deal available on weekdays with the purchase of any adult entrée for a limited time.
The $5 children's promotion reprises a prior-season offer the company has described as successful, signaling the chain is leaning on proven value mechanics to drive weekday traffic — historically a softer daypart for full-service breakfast operators. No per-unit sales figures or attachment-rate data were disclosed.
Avocado-forward menu items have become a reliable traffic driver across the fast-casual and full-service breakfast segment, with operators from independents to publicly traded chains citing the ingredient's broad demographic appeal. Keke's addition positions the concept alongside category leaders competing on fresh, ingredient-led platforms. The chain did not specify pricing for the new toast offering at the time of the announcement.

The new beverage introductions were not individually named in the announcement, though the company characterized them as "refreshing" seasonal additions — a common positioning for summer limited-time offerings designed to lift check averages and capture incremental visits from non-food-primary guests.
Keke's operates primarily across Florida and competes in a breakfast-daypart segment that has outpaced broader casual-dining traffic trends in recent years, buoyed by consumer preference for morning-occasion dining and all-day breakfast formats. The chain has drawn recognition in regional restaurant awards circuits, which it has used as a brand-differentiation lever in marketing materials.
