From Belgian waffles to boozy drinks, here are 40 of the best Columbus brunch orders
Brunch is a beautiful yet complicated thing, like sock hops in middle school or the state of California.
Since it occurs between breakfast and lunch, it naturally borrows from the best of both. And while it typically skews in favor of breakfast items, it technically pulls from two meals at the same time, which means a lot of options.
So how do you know where to start?
Before you get lost in the Hollandaise sauce, we’re here to help, with a handy guide of go-to brunch items across a variety of A.M. meal categories. We’ve compiled 40 standout items from across Columbus to combat menu anxiety.
Dig in, Columbus, and have happy brunching.
