Here are 6 of the best Sacramento brunch spots, according to readers. What’s your favorite?

After two weeks of voting, the results are clear: brunch is important to Sacramentans — and there are many great spots to choose.

The Bee received thousands of votes in our two-rounds of polling, and while there are some clear favorites, we know it’s near impossible to list all restaurants in Sacramento.

The Bee appreciates everyone who emailed to let us know which spots missed the list.

With our reader submissions and poll votes, here are the top picks for brunch in Sacramento (in no particular order.)

The Mimosa House has classic breakfast and lunch menus filled with desert-style fritters, omelets, tacos and flatbread. And true to its name, the eatery has an extensive mimosa menu where you can choose from samplers, bottle service or individual glasses.
