When did we all agree moms like brunch? Was there a vote? A brunch summit? A secret brunch council? We honestly don’t know. We are famously brunchless over here at Offbeat Coffee. No pancakes. No mimosas. No guy named Trevor explaining aioli to you.
BUT… Salem actually has some killer brunch spots, so here are a few places we genuinely think your mom would love:
— cozy atmosphere, huge portions, and the type of breakfast that makes you need a nap afterward. In a good way.
— apparently Gordon Ramsay reviewed this place online? Which feels sus. But also… this place absolutely slaps. Gordon was right.
— there’s a decent chance you’ll have to wait forever or physically fight for your table, but honestly that’s part of the experience now. Show mom you can handle a mid morning brawl.
— one of Salem’s underrated gems. Plus the drive out there gives you extra time to tell your mom she was right about literally everything.
After brunch, come to 12th street. Moms get free tea today at Offbeat, and plants are 50% off over at Furbish. You don’t have to prove you’re a mom… we will just use the honor system here.
