3. Craftway Kitchen
Brunch at Craftway Kitchen in Frisco blends comfort food with creativity — enter the Grand Marnier French toast with candied bacon or the Cajun shrimp and grits. With a menu of bold flavors and quality ingredients plus a full bar, it’s a brunch experience worth savoring.
4. Ebb & Flow
Ebb & Flow is a Dallas original with a renowned Plano counterpart. Come for the hanging flowers and cool design; stay for the popular (largely savory) brunch. Try the Cubano egg rolls!
5. Eggsquisite Cafe
The warm and welcoming atmosphere and generous portions at Eggsquisite Cafe in Frisco make it an ideal spot to celebrate moms for all the ways they fill (and fuel) your family. Its menu features delectable dishes like the very berry French toast, protein-packed skillets, and gluten-free options.
6. Fairview Farmers
Fairview Farmers cooks up organic, local ingredients for all-day brunch. It hits all the brunch-y highlights you crave, and I love that you can order brunch shareables like croissant beignets and a pancake flight. The kids menu will keep littles happy and full, too.
7. Hugs Cafe
Brunch at Hugs Cafe in McKinney is both heartwarming and delicious, with standout dishes like the Peach Gobbler and homemade jams. The cafe employs and empowers individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The friendly service, cozy vibe, and inspiring mission make this the perfect cafe to celebrate milestones and motherhood.
8. J. Theodore
Chill on J. Theodore’s patio in Frisco as you enjoy a fancy cocktail and the delicious brunch menu featuring a jar of lobster, salmon bagel board, breakfast tacos, and all sorts of eggs benedict. Note: There is a DJ during brunch, so don’t expect quiet dining.
9. Layered
It’s always fun to dine at Layered in the heart of Historic Downtown McKinney, and not just because you can order bottomless poinsettias on the sunny patio. Bellabot, the robot server, delivers food to your table! The kids will absolutely obsess over this one. Make a day of it and walk the square with the fam after brunch.

10. Rick’s Chophouse
Brunch at Rick’s Chophouse in McKinney is an upscale experience in a cozy atmosphere. From tender prime rib to made-to-order omelets, the buffet offers something for every palate. The quality of ingredients is top-notch, and everything is presented beautifully. Whether you’re celebrating or just indulging, it’s a brunch worth lingering over.
11. Sixty Vines
Sixty Vines in Plano is stylish and great, and unlike its Uptown Dallas counterpart, the Plano one has parking! Say what you will about the suburbs, but you can’t deny the parking advantages. Anyways, Sixty Vines offers chef-procured charcuterie boards, and puts a twist on pancakes and French toast for the sweet tooth in your life.
12. The Biscuit Bar
Situated along The Boardwalk at Granite Park in Plano, The Biscuit Bar has that open-air vibe we love this time of year, and the whole area is great for families. It’s a popular spot, so a line can form quickly — everyone clamoring for that chicken and biscuit French toast — but it moves fast.
(If you aren’t interested in waiting in line on Mother’s Day, fair enough! Edith’s French Bistro, also on The Boardwalk, is a wonderful choice.)

13. Toulouse
Plano’s Legacy West has a very pretty, very French brunch option for us — Toulouse. Everything on the menu is mouthwatering, from the savory to the sweet, and the interior is seriously lovely. It’s not as much a child-friendly place as it is a moms-only spot, so treat her to a date, or reserve a few seats for mom, sister, and grandma.
14. Whistle Britches
Whistle Britches in Plano is cute, colorful, and casual. With both a menu and outdoor patio great for kids, it’s a fried-chicken-and-biscuits-kind-of meal. Adults enjoy specialty cocktails and hot or cold coffee options.
