10 of Our Favorite Brunch Spots in Sac
Bacon & Butter
Duh.
Without a doubt the most popular place for breakfast and brunch. While we may not have loved their breakfast burritos… we know how delicious the rest of their food is. Biscuits and Gravy with fried sage and little bits of sausage. Excuse me as I wipe the drool off my keyboard. Not to mention their huge buttermilk flapjacks with seasonal fruit and whipped butter – need I say more?
Tip: The line wraps around the building 10 minutes after opening, so be prepared to wait or get there early!
Pushkin’s Restaurant
A great choice for our vegan and gluten-free friends, Pushkin’s offers a wide variety of food options. From vegan baked goods to Eggs Benedict with pork belly, this restaurant has it all. Spend your morning relaxing on their wonderful patio, or step inside to enjoy the modern and welcoming interior.
Simpleton by Identity Coffees
One of the few specialty coffee shops in town with a full breakfast menu, this few-week-old cafe is an instant hit. Located on the corner of 19th and G St., Simpleton is a welcome treat for neighbors nearby. A throwback to old diner-style yet true to modern taste, this shop is oh so cute. With plenty of seats and convenient table service, you can sit back and enjoy the music playing from their old-timey record player while sipping on your cappuccino.
Hook & Ladder
Hook and Ladder has long been a favorite amongst locals for their industrial-chic space and New American comfort food. While you may have caught a happy hour or two here, it’s worth checking out their brunch menu. Offering a long list of early start cocktails and tasty dishes like Butiffara sausage, H&L is definitely worth visiting.
Canon East Sac
Having just received their Michelin Bib Gourmand, Canon is top of mind amongst many. With a diverse menu and hip atmosphere, this restaurant was sure to make the list. Offerings such as Bánh Mì Crêpes and vegan Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls proves their brunch menu to be just as interesting as their dinner. If you still haven’t been, do yourself a favor and make a reservation.
Hawks Public House
While you may have visited Hawks Provisions for a quick coffee and breakfast during your busy work week, it’s worth sitting down in their Public House for a relaxing brunch on the weekend. With a simple menu, Hawks focuses on delivering a delicious, beautiful, and locally-sourced plate of food.
Magpie Cafe
This midtown staple is a favorite amongst brunchers. Some of their more popular dishes include Avocado Toast with sunchokes and lemon zest, as well as a Smoked Trout Omelette.
Beast & Bounty
The highly anticipated Beast and Bounty offers a tasty menu with a twist on the classics in a relaxed and stylish setting. Craving pizza for breakfast? They’ve got you covered. Plenty of options for the carnivore and vegans amongst us.
Grange
Featuring the highest prices on this list, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a dish here under $16. When you feel like treating yourself, go to Grange. Offering the poshest Avocado Toast I’ve ever seen with Dungeness crab and poached eggs, it’ll have you feeling like royalty, at least until you get the bill.
The Other Side
Being owned by Track 7 Brewery, it comes as no surprise this restaurant has the widest array of drink options to go with your meal. Leaning more towards the side of lunch than breakfast, The Other Side has plenty of savory dishes to satisfy you. If you’re looking for Bottomless Mimosas ($13) to go with that fried chicken sando, look no further. The Other Side will hit the spot.
