Brunch is the hardest Boulder meal to get a table for and the easiest to get wrong, because plenty of places serve it without being any good at it. These are the venues that tell Google they serve brunch, ranked by what diners actually score them.
The best rated brunch in Boulder
Ranked on Google rating with a 50-review floor. Google publishes no popular-for-brunch flag, so unlike our breakfast page this ranking is rating alone, and we say so rather than implying a crowd signal we do not have.

Questions
How many Boulder restaurants serve brunch?
87, according to their own Google Business Profiles. That is what the restaurant ticked on its own listing, so treat it as a floor: somewhere serving brunch that never filled the field in does not appear here.
What is the best rated?
Phở Kitchen Bar & Grill, at 4.8 on Google from 2,113 reviews. Ranked on Google rating with a 50-review floor. Google publishes no popular-for-brunch flag, so unlike our breakfast page this ranking is rating alone, and we say so rather than implying a crowd signal we do not have. We do not score venues ourselves and nothing on this page is paid placement.
Do Boulder brunch spots take reservations?
Some do and the popular ones fill early on weekends. Brunch is also the service where walk-in waits are longest, so a table booked at 9.30am is worth more than one booked at noon. Booking links, where a venue publishes one, are on its page here.
Can you book, and are menus online?
19 of these 87 publish an online booking link on their own site and 57 publish a menu we can link to. The rest are phone or walk-in. Every venue below links to its own page here, which carries hours, address and its Google listing.
