  • Orphan - indie, crunchy, organic, great coffee, and solidly prepared food!
  • Bacon & Butter - indie, solid good food, bacon and butter!
  • Tower Cafe - it's a Sacramento classic, best french toast in the world while you eat in a jungle
  • Taylor's Kitchen - Fancy Americana brunch
  • New Canton - Dim Sum
  • Restaurant 13 - if you want a really foodie/ fancy brunch 
  • Mirabelles - French-style brunch
    33rd St Bistro if your looking for an American meet's fast pased Manhattan kinda vibe,
  • 33rd St Bistro

      • particularly like the Oregon Blue Cheese salad
        • it's like eating hot wings but you don't feel as guilty!
  • Dad's Kitchen - hipster vibek, good eats
  • Fox & Goose - British style

  • Ettore's
    • this place is buy far my favorite for one reason, eggs benedict. Made with brioche and a wonderful Hollandaise sauce, it's outstanding. 
    • Fresh pastries, cakes, cookies, and an outstanding weekend brunch selection
    • In-door and out-door seating 
    • Cons: LOTS of old people, this place is an old people mecca - oh and the coffee sucks, like real bad!
