Slept until noon but still want breakfast? Well, brunch is certainly the most important meal of the day (as declared by us!). Venture out this weekend and try some of the delicious brunch spots Berkeley has to offer!

1. Elmwood Cafe: If you’re in the mood for a light but filling breakfast, head over to Elmwood! They have delicious, seasonal waffles you simply cannot miss. The poached egg sandwich is quite satisfying as well. They offer a variety of freshly baked pastries and quiches you will be tempted to taste.

2. La Note– This is one of the Berkeley experiences that you cannot miss. If you’re willing to wait in line for a bit, grab and friend and walk down to Shattuck Ave. for the most amazing pancakes you are yet to taste. The lemon gingerbread pancake with poached pears and the oatmeal raspberry pancakes are utterly delicious.

3. Sunny Side Cafe– Benedicts, scrambles, burritos and more! Want more good news? Breakfast is served all day!

4. Venus– Dark chocolate and fresh raspberry flapjacks? Is it true? Can it be? A dream come true! Venus has unique healthy options that are super fulfilling with a gourmet feel.
