There's something about this time of year that makes banana pancakes, bacon, and mimosas go down so easy at 10 a.m.
And there are plenty of places in North Jersey to indulge in that, but Daily Voice has compiled a list of the best brunch spots in the area, with a little help from our Instagram followers and user-generated online reviews.
The spots on the list below were either recommended by Daily Voice readers or had 4+ stars and more than 300 reviews on Google. Some restaurants have specific brunch hours while others appear to serve brunch or breakfast options all day.
