Brunch may get a lot of shine for its boozy drinks, but let’s be real. It wouldn’t be anything without the OG that is breakfast, and luckily, Houston recognizes that breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day.
That means pancakes, pastries, coffee, and inventive egg-centered dishes abound in the city — whether traversing the city in the early A.M. or late in the afternoon, and whether looking for a lazy, low-key Saturday morning spot, a grab-and-go type cafe, or a high-energy diner.
Thus, this list has been updated to give you some of the latest and most exciting options in Houston breakfast. Red Oak Cafe and Chez Beignets III have been rotated out to make room for undeniable spots like the Red Lion Pub, Slowpokes, and Gristworkz.
So, after you’re done hitting snooze once or twice, here are 20 of Houston’s essential breakfast spots that deserve a visit.
