(NEXSTAR) — Your mother brought you into this world, raised you, and worked tirelessly to support your dreams and passions throughout your entire life.
The least you can do is buy her some eggs.
Just in time for Mother’s Day, the analysts at Yelp have scoured their national databases in an attempt to determine the 100 best-reviewed brunch restaurants on the platform. This year, restaurants in 34 different states made the list, meaning that (hopefully), you won’t have to drag mom too far for eggs benny or mimosas.
Coming in at No. 1 — with a 4.5-star rating out of over 1,600 reviews — is Café Kacao in Oklahoma City, which specializes in Latin American cuisine alongside classic brunch staples and coffee drinks. The Comfort Café in San Antonio nabbed the No. 2 spot, thanks in part to its homestyle brunch dishes offered on a pay-what-you-can basis in support of the addiction recovery program operated by its parent organization. And at No. 3 is The Wild Chive in Long Beach, California, where the vegan fare garners rave reviews from locals.
Certain states also had especially good showings, specifically California and Florida, which each boasted 10 entries on this year’s ranking — the maximum allowable number of restaurants for any given state. (Yelp instituted a maximum number of businesses from any single state for purposes of “geographic diversity,” according to a Yelp blog post.)

In compiling this year’s list, Yelp’s team limited its rankings to businesses in its Breakfast & Brunch category, concentrating on restaurants with reviews that frequently mentioned “brunch,” specifically. These eateries were then ranked according to a number of factors, including the volume of their reviews and their Yelp ratings as of April 6.
“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,” the company wrote in a blog post.
