Wishing you a sweet day with your loved ones!

There’s nothing better after a long weekend than a mimosa-filled Sunday brunch. Philadelphia is home to numerous brunch spots that will satisfy your craving for eggs benedict or gourmet waffles, and these are three of the best—just make sure you arrive early to beat the inevitable crowds.

Honey’s Sit ‘n Eat
With a location in Northern Liberties and one on South Street, Honey’s Sit ‘n Eat offers home-style weekend brunch to folks all across the city. The menu includes breakfast classics like omelets, home fries, lox, and huevos rancheros. It’s also BYOB, which is always a brunch plus.

Sabrina’s Cafe
Sabrina’s Cafe is another great BYOB brunch option in Philadelphia, and its brunch specials change bi-weekly to keep things fresh. These specials include fun twists on the traditional eggs benedict, French toast, and pancakes with unique toppings like dried apricots or toasted coconut, as well as hearty sandwiches with a slew of sauces and seasonings. Sabrina’s also offers many vegan and vegetarian options for meat-free visitors.

Crêperie Beau Monde
If you prefer a more sophisticated brunch option, Crêperie Beau Monde is a traditional Breton crêperie serving French cuisine based on centuries-old recipes. Brunch is served on weekends from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. only, and while dishes here are a bit pricier than most, the decadent ingredients and luxurious atmosphere make it well worth the cost. Crêperie Beau Monde's bloody mary is so good that it has won awards, and sweet and savory crêpes offer something for any palate.

Santangelo's Cafe is Mike Santangelo's pet project, and it's easy to see his passion in the restaurant's decor, service, and menu. This Plymouth Meeting restaurant’s atmosphere is casual and relaxed, while the staff is knowledgeable and friendly, and the food is fresh, straightforward, and tasty.

Yelp reviewers warn that you might have a bit of trouble spotting this place from the road on your first visit, but emphasize that it's worth the effort, especially for breakfast, which is one of Santangelo's busiest times. Order a short stack with a side of scrambled eggs and bacon, or treat yourself to a Nutella-stuffed French toast. Later in the day you'll enjoy simple, tasty meals like a meatball melt sandwich with fries or a grilled cheese sandwich with a bowl of the daily soup special.

Whatever time of day you visit, regular diners insist that the portions will be generous and the prices will be reasonable.
