Top Brunch Spots in The OC

Brunch has all the elements that make a good meal: extra time to sleep in, copious amounts of bacon, and the best drinks to get your day started. We've gathered up ten of our favorite brunch spots around Orange County where you can drink up those Bloody Marys and dine on eggs benedict, weekend style.

Soufflé pancakes and coffee at Basilur in Buena Park, CA

Basilur Tea & Coffee (Buena Park)

If your ideal brunch involves a non-alcoholic cocktail made with tea, we've got the spot for you. You'll love the tea cocktails at Basilur Tea as they are fresh, colorful, and the perfect way to start the day. We recommend the blood orange tea cocktail as it pairs well with the blueberry yogurt souffle pancakes.

Huckleberry's (Anaheim)

It's all about the classic brunch favorites at Huckleberry's where you'll find chicken fried steak, corned beef hash, and chicken & waffles on the menu. The Bayou Bloody Mary is also a crowd pleaser as it takes the traditional version and kicks it up a notch with Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix that sure packs a punch. Garnished with a crisp slice of bacon, it's brunch in a glass.

Chapter One (Santa Ana)

It's anything but ordinary on the Chapter One brunch menu where you'll find fried cheese curds, along with the California special crab benny. Once you've selected your main, head to the craft cocktails menu and order up the Dark Times. It starts with Dickel rye mixed with chocolate bitters, coffee, simple syrup, and topped with a dramatic pressed orange swath.

Broken Yolk Cafe (Buena Park)

You know this spot is at the top of our must-visit brunch list as it was named one of the Top 100 Brunch Spots by Yelp. We love the hash skillet at The Broken Yolk for some classic breakfast flavors and it is perfectly paired with a Bloody Mary. The Broken Yolk Bloody Mary flight gives you a taste of each of their four signature Bloody Marys: the BYC Bloody Mary, Bloody Caesar, Bloody Maria, and Red Snapper.

Orange juice with bacon and a shot at The Cauldron in Buena Park, CA

Mama's on 39 (Huntington Beach)

You'll feel like you're really at your mama's house when you head to Mama's on 39 for brunch. Bonus: wearing your PJs on Sunday gets you 20% off your order before 10 a.m. Travel to the islands when you order up the Mai Tai Mama that has a fruit juice blend with Bacardi light rum that's topped with the perfect splash of island dark rum. You'll love it with the French toast that's made with King's Hawaiian bread and topped with strawberries.

Black Bear Diner (Buena Park)

If you're as hungry as a bear, then Black Bear Diner this is the place for you! All of your classic American comfort food favorites are here, and served to feed the biggest grizzly appetite! Don't worry, for the little cubs, the kid menu has hearty servings as well. Favorites include the cinnamon roll French toast, biscuits and gravy and the hungry bear breakfast.

Eggs Benedict at The Dylan in Buena Park, CA

Pour Company (Fullerton)

If you aren't familiar with the Michelada, it's time to fix that. It's a delicious combination of tomato juice, beer, and spices with the perfect kick to get your day off on the right foot. You'll love it with the chorizo pulled pork chilaquiles at Pour Company that have just the right amount of kick from the tomatillo salsa.

The Dylan (Brea)

When it's brunch time at The Dylan, the eggs benedict is the star. Their menu has more than ten benedict options to choose from with the surf + turf coming in as the crowd favorite. You'll get one benedict with lobster and one with filet and they both go well when paired with the Green Bloody Mary. More sweet than the traditional, it's a blend of St. George Chile Vodka, pineapple juice, cilantro, mint, jalapeños, basil with apple cider vinegar and agave syrup garnished with a cucumber slice.

Mimosa at Rock and Brews in Buena Park, CA

Rock and Brews (Buena Park)

Mimosas are arguably the second most consumed brunch beverage and Rock and Brews knows that mimosa connoisseurs want their mimosas just the way they like them. Enter the DIY mimosa experience. You'll get a bottle of Wycliff Champagne with a large carafe of orange, cranberry, or pineapple juice to pour yourself the perfect sip. We recommend ordering it up for the table along with the breakfast pizza—a traditional pizza crust topped with scrambled eggs, cheese, pico de gallo, and of course, bacon.

Pickled Monk (Fullerton)

Order up the breakfast burrito and snag a pitcher of sangria to share on your next visit to the Pickled Monk where brunch is served all day, just the way it should be. The sangria is fruit-forward, refreshing and a house favorite. The fried chicken and donuts is a delightful sweet and spicy combo with crispy chicken fritters, churro donuts, spicy buttermilk pickles and habanero maple syrup.
