Our favorite Sunday brunch spot. The staff is always terrific and the owners are simply wonderful. They know how to run a business and see to it that their guests remain happy. The food is locally procured--as much as possible, and healthy to boot.

It doesn't get more local and basic as this nearly hidden spot. Seating is outdoors only, and it's walk-up service. Don't let that stop you however. This little old house has good coffee and for about $5 you can enjoy a laté and waffle with syrup or nutella. Check their hours online as the spot closes early and typically not open on Sunday.

Great brunch, if you're okay with a bit of a noisy spot. This place is fun, and has been here for decades. There is a nice bar, good coffee, and casual dining spaces indoors and out. It is walk-up ordering service. Their pastry's are quite yummy too! If you visit on a Saturday morning, the parking lot and adjacent spaces are occupied by a relatively large farmers market (mid-summer months excluded) where you're bound to find something to enjoy.
