The 5 Best Brunch Spots in LA

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at USC chapter.

I love brunch, who doesn’t, and in the craziness that is LA there are so many spots, and so many insta worthy pics to be taken….. What truly is the best LA brunch spot? I have taken the hard job of finding out. I ranked my top 5 below taking into account price, service and food (obviously).

#1 Poppy + Rose

The ambience of Poppy + Rose is exactly what you would imagine, a cute spot in the middle of the flower market. There is almost always a line and Sunday morning is probably the peak but the line moves fast and once you are in the service is great.

Favorite Dish: Pulled Pork Sandwich

#5 Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles 

An LA classic, you can’t go wrong day or night with Roscoe’s. Their waffles are simple and the fried chicken is cooked perfectly. Fast and personable service and definitely the most affordable on the list.

Favorite Dish: Chicken and Waffles (duh)
