La Mie Bakery and Restaurant
Molly Spellman, 21, bags baguettes at La Mie Bakery and Restaurant. (Arturo Fernandez/Juice)
A popular brunch destination, La Mie packs a lot of flavor into a relatively small, minimalist space. The menu is full of both unexpected (lavender-infused eggs) and indulgent (creamy berry and cheese crepes) dishes to satisfy the foodies and the just plain hungry. A word to the wise: sometimes the service takes a nose-up French attitude.

Hangover Breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!1 /cough

I freaking love breakfast and I'm freaking hungover. Here is a list of where to get a damn breakfast to subdue that beer gnome punching you in the gut with a fistpack of rolled up quarters.

Brunch Spots

My favorite spots for a late Sunday morning. Sadly, I can't find great hash browns, which is kinda the entire point.
