Weekends are for relaxing brunches with friends and family. Philly has plenty of spots perfect for casual hangouts or celebrating life’s milestones. Here’s some of my favorites.

Green Eggs Cafe

Green Eggs Cafe is a popular brunch chain found in Midtown Village, Rittenhouse Square, South Philly, Fishtown, and most recently, Ocean City, New Jersey. Try their blackberry cheesecake empanadas, apple pie french toast, or chorizo benedict.

Sabrina’s Cafe

All brunch enthusiasts should know about Sabrina’s Cafe, which has delicious options like lemon ricotta pancakes, avocado toast, and spiced tofu scrambled eggs.

Front Street Cafe

Fishtown’s Front Street Cafe provides a cozy dining experience and its menu has lovely items like pear-lychee martinis and blueberry cream hotcakes.

Cafe La Maude

Cafe La Maude in Northern Liberties wows brunch-lovers seven days a week with French and Lebanese-inspired dishes like shawarma and baklava pancakes.

What's your go-to brunch spot?
