This&nbsp;<a href="https://www.foxruncafe.com/daily" target="_blank">menu</a>&nbsp;side&nbsp;hits just as hard as any main dish. Speaking of mains, they won't disappoint. The <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/COxh3Mxluuv/?hl=en" target="_blank">Pork and Egg Breakfast Sandwich</a> is a classic; the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CSuIIDfF6YN/?hl=en" target="_blank">Whipped Feta Toast</a> is creamy and smooth, and the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes are simply to die for. Consider a side of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca99wTVrTq9/?hl=en" target="_blank">River Bear bacon</a> or a drizzle of house <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CYro7rXlFSt/?hl=en" target="_blank">hot sauce</a> for a brunch well-spent.

Thoughtfully crafted dishes like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CmjxexNJDl4/?hl=en" target="_blank">Gingerbread Waffles</a> and Breakfast Carbonara tantalize the senses—and make you wonder if really any dish can make it onto the brunch menu with the right amount of love and creativity.

If you’re feeling courageous, check out the massive 24-ounce bloody Mary or one of the many unique mimosa variations. Just don’t miss the hot and doughy, sugar-dusted <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAgOGS5lmES/" target="_blank">beignets</a> with a side of jam.

Sassafras American Eatery

<a href="https://thelobbydenver.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Menu-Paper.docx-7.pdf" target="_blank">The Lobby’s menu</a> fills the need for bubbles, bloodys, mimosas, and delightful eats. Tater tot and chicken nugget brunch dishes? Check. Donut holes in churro dust and a side of chocolate sauce? Check. Or maybe you’re more into a red potato hash topped with over-easy eggs. It has all the brunch staples, from omelets to Benedicts to biscuits, and obviously a killer drink menu to boot. Whatever your pleasure, this is the place to go for something different, exciting, and always satisfying.

The Lobby

Leave your gluten-averse friends at home because <a href="https://www.denbisco.com/menu" target="_blank">everything here</a> is served on a fluffy, house-made biscuit: towering <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAWrY3gLsZ/?hl=en" target="_blank">biscuit sandwiches</a> with fat-boy fillings like fried chicken and pork belly, biscuit French toast, biscuits and gravy, biscuit pot pie, and shrimp and grits served in a biscuit bowl. You get the idea. There's also a full bar, complete with Bloodys and mimosas for washing down all those carbs.

Denver Biscuit Company

This Boulder-based family business has built a <a href="https://www.luciles.com/luciles-creole-kitchen-colorado-locations/" target="_blank">mini empire</a> out of the <a href="https://www.luciles.com/denver-location-menu/" target="_blank">impeccable Creole food</a> it's been dishing out for over three decades. For Southern transplants—or anyone who can appreciate brunch with a side of collards doused with hot pepper vinegar—Lucile's should be your number one pick. From the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2tcWdlvKl/?hl=en" target="_blank">giant, flaky buttermilk biscuits</a> that accompany most plates to favorites like Eggs Sardou and Shrimp and Grits and surprising dishes like the Cajun Breakfast with meaty red beans, Lucile's is the move when your stomach is running on empty.

Lucile’s

Lucile's Creole Cafe

Since opening in 2006, <a href="https://www.snoozeeatery.com/restaurants/" target="_blank">this Colorado-born chain</a> has developed a cult following among brunch fans. The menu features a plethora of breakfast goodies—some traditional, some crazy. Breakfast pot pie, breakfast tacos, and prosciutto Benedicts are just a small sampling of the indulgences that await. Just FYI: Snooze might be as well-known for its long wait times as it is for the popular pancake flights, but the good news is that you can now join the waitlist virtually via Yelp. Just find the <a href="https://www.snoozeeatery.com/locations/" target="_blank">location nearest you</a> and skip right to mimosa-time.

Snooze, an A.M. Eatery

Snooze

If you think brunch is defined by eggs, pancakes, and waffles, you're missing out on some very important options—namely, dim sum. Star Kitchen typically draws crowds for its weekend brunch, where steamed buns, dumplings, and noodles complement dishes like chicken feet and leeks with pork blood. While the wait can stretch to half-an-hour on some days, no one will question whether or not it was worth it when those precious carts arrive at the table. Show up hungry and ready to say “yes” to whatever dishes cruise by the table.

Star Kitchen

With a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CcdzUL2luy8/?hl=en" target="_blank">color-splashed interior</a>&nbsp;and walls adorned with retro cereal boxes, this spot (and its second location near DU) has style covered. It’s about more than good looks though: For one, there are the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CYmjJixFA62/?hl=en" target="_blank">donut holes</a> filled in flavors like maple bacon, Thai peanut, and salted caramel. Stomach-filling entrees include Corned Beef Hash with caramelized onions and red potatoes; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ00x9QlAvm/?hl=en" target="_blank">breakfast burrito</a> fat with pulled pork, a Southern biscuit with sausage gravy—or any pancake, French toast, or scramble options. Even better? Friends looking for some sweet and savory gluten-free carbs can find a treasure trove of <a href="https://www.eatmorejelly.com/our-menu" target="_blank">brunch</a> love here.

Jelly U Cafe

Jelly Cafe

With eight locations from the Springs to Ft. Collins, this locally born brunch favorite is quickly becoming a statewide go-to. The <a href="https://www.urbaneggeatery.com/menus/" target="_blank">menu</a> is loaded with brunch faves like Benedicts, biscuits and gravy, three different types of avocado toast, award-winning cinnamon swirl pancakes, and stuffed French toast. Urban Egg’s brunch beverage game goes hard with mimosas and Bloodys, plus fresh juices and coffees to rival those at any coffee shop.

Urban Egg Cherry Creek North (Denver, CO)

This Five Points destination serves up decadent brunch thanks to chef Corey Smith, who brings a bit of New Orleans to the menu in the form of beignets served with lemon curd, as well as panko-crusted, fried green tomatoes with black peppercorn ranch dressing. Along with other delectable, Southern combos like shrimp and grits, this spot has a lock on its namesake beverage with an array of mimosa flavors all available by the flight (capped by a breakfast shot, if you’re feeling adventurous).

Mimosas

It’s clearly all about the bacon at <a href="https://www.baconsocialhouse.com/" target="_blank">Bacon Social House</a>. With <a href="https://www.baconsocialhouse.com/menu-south-broadway" target="_blank">menu</a> items like bacon cheddar biscuits loaded with peppery sausage gravy; breakfast hash loaded with thick-cut bacon, sweet potatoes, hatch chiles, and caramelized onion; and bacon-infused vodka in the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2wyPAsw-Q/?hl=en" target="_blank">Bloody Marys</a>. Whatever you do, don’t skip the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca7XWOQtw8j/?hl=en" target="_blank">bacon flight</a>, which comes with six flavors of bacon and a pair of shears so you can share with the table. With a new location on South Broadway, there are now three stellar options for getting your bacon fix in town.

Bacon Social House

This <a href="https://samsno3.com/" target="_blank">down-to-earth cafe</a> with three <a href="https://samsno3.com/locations/" target="_blank">locations</a> (Glendale, Aurora, and downtown) has what you need to cure your hangover. The extensive, 16-page <a href="https://samsno3.com/menus/Menu-Downtown.pdf" target="_blank">menu</a> has seemingly everything—from American diner classics to plates overflowing with Greek and Mexican cuisine. There's even an entire page dedicated to breakfast burritos, which are as big as your head and covered in Sam’s famous green chile sauce and a ton of cheese, per Denver tradition. Prepare to do absolutely nothing after brunch.

<a href="https://www.onefolddenver.com/" target="_blank">OneFold’s</a> take on the ubiquitous breakfast burrito adds indulgent potatoes fried in duck fat to the mix. There are also breakfast tacos (adorned with griddled mozzarella) and crepes, but what you’re really here for are the bacon fried rice and congee. Bacon fried rice is pretty self-explanatory, although Onefold’s is topped with eggs fried in duck fat, giving the whole dish an added layer of savory depth. For the congee, OneFold adds duck confit, a poached egg, green onions, tamari, salted ginger, and a generous swirl of chile. Order a Vietnamese iced coffee to wash everything down.
