What could be better than brunch on the weekend? Maybe brunch in San Antonio, specifically.
Not only does our city have the market cornered on brunch of the Tex-Mex variety, we also do a mean poached egg, waffle and pancake. And the Alamo City doesn’t mess around about mimosas, either.
Or so the reviewers on Yelp tell us.
With so many utterly delicious options on this list, you could book up your weekends for a considerable time to come.

The fresh flowers on each table, a sugar tray (all kinds of flavors for your coffee or tea) & the service is WOW! The brunch cocktail menu is delightful – I had the Lady Lavender & it was incredible. For my meal I had the poached eggs, cured salmon & avocado on a huge fluffy biscuit with hollandaise. We also got the polenta on the side. All of this also came with a lovely cup of fruit. OMG this food was incredible. You have to try this brunch!!! The setting alone, will have you swooning!” – Michelle B. Credit:Instagram / signaturesanantonio20. Camp Outpost Co.

“I came here to meet friends and demolish a plate of delicious waffles and eggs. Missions accomplished. I ordered a coconut waffle and over easy eggs. Perfectly cooked and the coconut wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet. Everyone else I came with said their food was good as well. It seems like you can’t go wrong on the food here. I’ll definitely be back another time I’m in San Antonio.” — Ari R. Credit: Instagram / Pancake Joe's14. The Hayden

The service is exceptional, and the waffles & cinnamon rolls were worth the wait. On cooler days, the patio seating (w/ shade) is a great place to sit. This place is a “must” if you’re looking for a brunch spot within San Antonio.” – Brian M. Credit:Photo via Instagram / theguentherhouse12. Max & Louie’s New York Diner

Everything we had was great and I can’t wait to go back.
Beware, this place can be PACKED on weekends. Be prepared for a wait.” – Rich M. Credit:Photo via Instagram / maxandlouies11. Mimosa Gossip

“Mimosa Gossip is hands down one of the best brunch additions to the north side of San Antonio. This place is a whole vibe with Instagrammable features that include neon lights, exquisite chandeliers, and an overall fun and inviting atmosphere. The drinks though! My friend and I each had a flight of mimosas that were generous in size which we both very much appreciated. Together we tried about half of the mimosa menu, and you cannot go wrong with any of them.” – Beth H. Credit: Nina Rangel10. Bilia’s Eatery & Coffee

“I love that they moved to a larger space. It’s beautifully adorned with custom murals that brings the spirit of the food into the space. The service was great! Our server was friendly and welcoming, and offered great suggestions. I did a build your own type of experience because I wanted the lump crab and potatoes with the sauce and it didn’t disappoint. Their drip coffee is delicious too.
Super flavorful and hot and fresh! What more could you want?! Can’t wait to come back.” – Kelly M. Credit: Instagram / Nola Brunch & Beignets3. Tokyo Cowboy

“It’s super-busy for brunch on the weekends, so I do recommend making a reservation. However, if you’re not in a hurry, you can just hang out in their lovely outdoor area, and quench your thirst with one of their tasty libations served from a super-cool airstream outside bar.” – Olga B.

“It was honestly the best brunch I’ve ever had! We started with their donut, and it was unlike any donut I’ve ever had–SO delicious. For our main dishes, we had the strawberry cheesecake French toast and the smoked salmon mousse naan, and both were incredibly delicious. If you are looking for a unique and tasty brunch place, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely be back.” – Tasha F. Credit: Courtesy Photo / Box Street All Day
