Yelp Names Top 100 Brunch Spots to Celebrate This Mother’s Day



Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to show your love and appreciation for Mom than by treating her to an unforgettable brunch at one of Yelp’s Top 100 Brunch Spots? Whether she loves classic eggs benedict at a cozy cafe or buttery pancakes at a white tablecloth restaurant, you’re sure to find the perfect place to take the mom in your life with some help from Yelp.

Cafe Kacao in Oklahoma City, took this year’s top spot, beloved by locals for its Latin-inspired breakfast dishes. With more than 400 reviews and 900 photos, Yelpers rave about the vegan brunch classics and friendly staff at The Wild Chive in Long Beach, CA, which took the #3 spot. Over on the Emerald Coast, Crackings in Destin, FL, took the #4 spot, where they say the bananas foster French toast and crab cake benedict are the real deal.

How soon should you make a reservation? 

Have your heart set on the perfect place to bring the mom in your life? We tapped our Data Science team to understand the best time to make a reservation for the holiday weekend, looking at diner activity on Yelp from January 2022 to December 2022. We suggest reserving a table at least one week before Mother’s Day. In 2022, approximately one in four (27%) diners using Yelp to make their reservations waited until the last minute, booking the same weekend, and 66% of diners made a reservation for Mother’s Day in the seven days leading up to the holiday! If you’re booking in San Diego, you’ll want to make sure you reserve even further in advance. In the greater San Diego area, nearly 80% of diners who made their Mother’s Day reservations through Yelp in 2022, did so within a week of the holiday.

But no sweat if you’re a last-minute booker, Yelp has you covered! For businesses that offer Yelp Waitlist, you can join the line remotely and spend more of your Sunday relaxing with Mom.
