Winner: Comfort Cafe
Multiple locations
Comfort Cafe’s pay-what-you-can business model, which funds addiction recovery center SerenityStar’s programs, is reason enough to support the business, but clearly, readers also think it’s brunches and comforting eats are also winners. The homegrown brunch chain’s food has landed it on or near the top of multiple lists, including Yelp’s Top 100 Mother’s Day Brunch Spots roundup and the review site’s Top 100 Texas Restaurants of 2022. A third Comfort Cafe location is expected to open this summer north of Ingram Park Mall, so fans will have one more spot to get their mitts on churro French toast, hash-brown casserole and chili cornbread waffles.
