Best Brunch Spots in Burlington
Burlington, Vermont — updated August 21, 2026
Three Burlington-area brunch kitchens, ranked by how well they hold up on a weekend morning: a Winooski breakfast institution with more than 1,000 reviews, a Lake Street brunch-only spot, and a bakery that stops serving before Sunday.
Listings verified
Brunch in the Burlington area runs on short weeks. Two of the three places below close Tuesday and Wednesday entirely, and the best-reviewed of them sits across the river in Winooski rather than downtown. Plan around the hours, because most of these kitchens stop at 2pm and one of them shuts on Sundays.
1. Sneakers Bistro
The most thoroughly tested brunch kitchen in the area: 4.6 stars across more than 1,000 reviews, which is a settled rating rather than a promising one. It sits at 28 Main St in Winooski, a short drive from downtown Burlington, and is open Thursday through Monday, 8am to 2pm, so Tuesday and Wednesday are out. Its OpenTable listing marks brunch service on Saturday and Sunday from 8am to noon, with breakfast, lunch and drinks served all day. The classic eggs benedict is the plate the restaurant leads with on its own site; the breakfast sandwich appears at $10 on the OpenTable menu. Online ordering runs on the same Thursday-to-Monday schedule. sneakersbistrovt.com
2. Deep City Brunch & Events
The only place here that does brunch and nothing else, at 112 Lake St in Burlington proper. It holds 4.7 stars from 263 reviews, a strong number but a smaller sample than Sneakers, so treat it as promising rather than proven. Hours are Thursday through Monday, 8am to 2pm. The house dish is the Penny Cluse, listed at $20 on the brunch menu, and the kitchen also runs a plate called Across the Lake: two eggs with an Irish banger, smoky baked beans and a griddled tomato. Weekend waits are expected enough that Foam opens at 10am on Saturday and Sunday for people in line. deepcityvt.com
3. Mirabelles Bakery
A bakery first, which is why it ranks third on a brunch list, but it covers the morning end well: breakfast sandwiches and breakfast built on Mirabelles biscuits, alongside pastries, macarons and mini desserts. The rating is 4.7 from 630 reviews, so the quality is well established even if the format is counter service rather than a sit-down brunch. The catch for weekend planning is the schedule: Monday through Saturday, 8am to 4pm, closed Sunday. Cakes including creme brulee and chocolate raspberry mousse are part of the case if you are ending brunch with something sweet. It is at 3060 Williston Rd in South Burlington. mirabellesbakery.com
