I’m a firm believer in brunch, especially on a lazy weekend day. To me, there’s nothing better than a good brunch spread – freshly made waffles and omelets, pastries, bacon, scrapple, chicken, and of course mimosas and bloody marys! Luckily, Delaware feels the same way that I do about brunch, and it’s no surprise that there is an incredible selection of brunch in Delaware. These places really go over the top with their brunch offerings and service. Check them all out, and plan your next weekend indulgence in your home state.
