Combining the social aspects of a night out on the town with sunshine and avocado toast, the almighty brunch has become the meal of the decade.

And if you’ve been put in charge of selecting the location for an upcoming brunch, you know that not just any location will do. Which is why Yelp has compiled a list of the 100 best brunches in the country.

In order to compile the list, Yelp’s data scientists looked exclusively at businesses marked under the “brunch” category. The rankings took into account both the number of stars awarded by reviewers and the number of reviews, adjusted for the volume of overall reviews in the restaurant’s area to ensure that there’s a great variety of brunches represented in the ranking. Although, looking through the list, one may be surprised by the number of brunch spots located in hotels.

The best brunch in the country is in Honolulu, Hawaii. Orchids rose to the top of the list for its ambiance — it’s an oceanfront restaurant, festooned with countless orchids, at the Halekulani Hotel — and impressive Sunday brunch menu, combining mainland favorites with Hawaiian delicacies and Asian-inspired dishes.

The runner-up is the Lake Elmo Inn in Lake Elmo, Minnesota. Diners there note the place’s classy vibes (leftovers are wrapped up in aluminum swans). It includes all the typical brunch fixings but it’s the price point that makes this spot particularly unique. The meal, including champagne, will only cost you $29.

Of the top 10 brunches, four were located in California — two in Sacramento alone, which could give the city enough status to proclaim itself as brunch capital.
