I don’t know about you, but breakfast is my favorite excuse to slow down—and in Indianapolis, I’ve found some truly great places to do just that. Whether I’m craving a cozy diner plate or a trendy spot with bottomless mimosas, this city never disappoints. If you’re planning a relaxed weekend or just want to treat yourself to a better-than-average morning, I think you’ll love the brunch scene here. I’ve discovered everything from flaky biscuits to creative avocado toasts, and I’m always impressed by how warm and welcoming these spots feel. You’ll find your go-to in no time—I know I did.
