"There's something comforting about brunch: It's the meal you have when you have a little extra time to spend enjoying some quality time with friends and family, or are just treating yourself to a little much-needed me-time. It's no secret that some brunch-time staples are challenging, and if you're still trying to master eggs Benedict, it's the perfect reason to head out to a local spot."
"In order to make it onto our list of the best of the best, we looked for a few things - starting, of course, with places that had either a specific brunch menu, or offered a breakfast menu with all the brunch classics. In addition to being highly reviewed by customers, we looked for places that had earned recognition and awards for this meal, had locals and visitors alike recommending them, and had plenty of repeat guests."
"Back in 2018, the owners of Café Lush turned to the public for help in raising the money for a down payment to buy the building that was about to be sold from beneath them. When the community turns out like that, it says a lot. Customers add there's a lot to love about the brunch here, from the breakfast burritos to drinks like the soy chai and vanilla lattes and anything with the state's famous green chile."
Brunch is framed as a leisurely, comforting meal for friends, family, or solo relaxation, with some dishes like eggs Benedict often prompting diners to eat out. The list identifies the top brunch spot in each U.S. state, prioritizing restaurants with dedicated brunch menus or breakfast menus offering classics. Selection criteria emphasize strong customer reviews, recognition and awards, local recommendations, and repeat clientele. The New Mexico pick is Café Lush in Albuquerque, noted for community fundraising to purchase its building and for menu highlights including breakfast burritos, soy chai and vanilla lattes, and dishes featuring the state's green chile.
