It's not quite breakfast, it's not quite lunch, but it comes with a slice of cantaloupe at the end. You don't get completely what you would at breakfast, but you get a good meal!

@232988 Yes being in the 1% is quite nice. Sipping mimosas and eating Lobster Eggs Benedict on a Tuesday at 11am is in fact quite enjoyable. Let them eat cake.

If one could consume an entire restaurant for brunch, clearly Mesa Cafe could use another remodel.

I don't know of a place that serves brunch during the week but Cody's Cafe serves breakfast really late and they are flexible with menu items. Enjoy.

978 <3 you!
You can take an early lunch to have brunch. Or use holidays & vacation days to do brunch mid-week. Or if you work a non-traditional schedule. You don't have to be wealthy & unemployed to have brunch on occasion. (And if you are wealthy & unemployed, I don't see the big deal/problem. I hope to get there myself some day.)
I don't know if they are still doing it, but Root 246 had a killer brunch on Sundays. I know, it doesn't fit your question, but it's the only brunch I know of. If anyone has a favorite, I'd be interested to know as well. Taking an early lunch sometime for this sounds nice.

Biltmore if you want something a little more high-end. Essaus, not sure if they are still here. Mesa Cafe is good.

Marmalade Cafe has a great breakfast menu. You'd have to call and ask how late they serve breakfast.

Not sure if you consider it 'brunch' but Cajun Kitchen on Chapala is the best for breakfast related foods and they're open until 3!

Jeannine's. Any location, best breakfast/brunch type food in town. Cajun kitchen, etc are ok if you are into greasy, not very high quality food (bland eggs, hard bacon and pale pink tomatoes.)

Jeannine's yeah if you want to over pay and have poor service, I used to love that place but i dont know whats been going on in the past year especialy in the downtown location, i used to love taking friends and having that tall guy draw and stencil my mochas was the best. NOT ANYMORE!

121, really? I go there a couple of times a week and I find it's still up to it's normal standards. A couple of times I've had some sketchy service at the Montecito location in the past few months, but those were on ultra-busy, complicated days for them.

They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for (sometimes!) and the food is so much better than other places.

125, hopefully they've picked up the slack again i havent been there in months for those reasons, the latte/ mochas have not been the same sense that guy left(I drink soy and he made it creamy like milk).
if anyone knows that guy and knows if hes at a coffe shop let me know, he was great and would have my drink ready before i even paid.

Tupelo Junction or Jeanine's. Other favorites that are less fancy but equally delicious include Cajun Kitchen or Daily Grind, also the East Beach Grill because of location, but one should confirm their breakfast hours during the week, they may only serve till 10 or something.

Surprised no one has mentioned Max's on upper State....they have a "brunchy" menu everyday and the food is excellent, especially the soufflé style omelets.

Cajun Kitchen is downright disgusting.

Renaud's in Loreto Plaza (they also have a downtown location across from the Arlington Theater) has wonderful breadfast, lunch & incredible French pastries. You can eat in the comfy inside or next to the fountain outside. The people are so nice and Alex makes the best latte & cappucino drinks in town :)

Cafe Stella is on McCaw above Gelson's. They are good. Renaud's is a very good spot for a brunch. As is Tupelo Junction.
