Who doesn't love an elaborate, decadent hot breakfast? It is arguably one of the best meals of the day - and we love it so much in our house that we often have it for dinner, too. February is National Hot Breakfast month and below are our 5 favorite breakfast spots in Union County PLUS the 10 most popular hot breakfast items and linked some fun recipes, in case you're in a rut!
Nuvole Rooftop 22 offers classic brunch menu items with a beautiful view of the Charlotte skyline. Beyond the classics like chicken/waffles, shrimp/grits, and a delish burger the real star of this brunch is the DONUT CHARCUTERIE BOARD!
This little treat is packed with: Mixed Berries, Spiced Chocolate, M&Ms, Yogurt Raisins, Chocolate-Covered Pretzels, Bacon Strips, Teddy Grahams, Nerds, Pop Rocks, and Animal Crackers~ yes, please!
Fahrenheit: The star of brunch is not only the view but also these Cap’N Crunch Pancakes! This northern girl loves that I can find a sammie Taylor ham, egg, and cheese (we called this a Jersey). If you have not had Taylor ham, go now, order this sammie. You will thank me!
Superica Charlotte is some of the best Tex-Mex in the area. You can't go wrong with the tamales and eggs! With 2 locations in the area now and outdoor seating, this is a great place for a family-friendly brunch.
Snooze AM Eatery: 7 different types of eggs benedicts, french toast, pancakes, and breakfast tacos are just some of the things that have made Snooze one of the most popular brunch spots in the QC.
Eddies Place: A Charlotte classic, Eddies Place has pancakes so big they hang over the edge of the plate. You will not leave Eddie's hungry for sure! The price point for brunch also makes it one of the best deals in town. The breakfast burrito and the country-fried breakfast are some of the best items on the menu!
