Houston’s 17 Best New Brunches, November 2024

"“Mornings” at this coffee shop and cocktail lounge last all day on Sundays and until 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday, meaning diners have a large window to fulfill their caffeine and brunch fixes. The coffee offerings are vast, and the food menu is short and sweet, zeroing in on dishes that harken back to the owner’s Spanish heritage. Highlights include waffles topped with oranges, hot honey, and merengue; black truffle tortillas stuffed with Spanish egg and potato omelets, and a luxurious avocado toast made with fresh baguette and poached eggs. Flirt with some of Maven’s featured lunch items, like its gooey truffled grilled cheese, made using croissants and its caviar-topped Secret Tots, and take a Love Croissant pastry for the road." - Brittany Britto Garley, Marcy de Luna
