Best Brunch Spots in Naperville

The definitive weekend brunch guide — chicken & waffles, mimosas, and the best patio seats in town.

Mimosas Patios Weekend Only

Brunch is Naperville's unofficial religion. On any given Saturday, there are lines halfway down Jefferson Avenue and waitlists running two hours deep at the best spots on Washington. Whether you're after fluffy Japanese pancakes, a classic diner stack, or a boozy patio with bottomless mimosas, we've got you covered.

These are the 12 brunch rooms we come back to — ranked, rated, and ready to be bookmarked.
