Brunchin’ ain’t always easy but it is necessary. Whether you’re on the hunt for fluffy eggs, fried chicken and waffles, or mind-blowing bloody Marys, the options can get as overwhelming as the lines at times.

Luckily, you have us to scout things out. With help from our readers, we’ve compiled a whole bunch of brunch options, along with menu recs, pro tips, and an interactive map to track ‘em. Plan your weekend and pour those mimosas. Note: All times listed are brunch-only.

And the winner is… Ardmore Coffee. It was voted best coffee shop in the Twin City by our readers and social media followers in our WStoday coffee shop bracket.

The coffee shop at 1316 S. Hawthorne Rd. is nestled in the Ardmore neighborhood. It started in the 1990s and has changed names and ownership over time. It’s been known as Ardmore Coffee since 2013.

Last September, Winston-Salem natives (and current college students) Blake Reiner and Leah Zubke became entrepreneurs when they purchased the coffee shop. Not only can you get a great cup of joe + fresh baked goods when you stop in, you can also shop merchandise + bagged coffee online.

We want to extend a major “thank you” to all of you for participating in our bracket challenge the past few weeks. We’ve had a blast seeing how the votes shook out, and we hope you did too.

From the editor
I don’t care about garnishes that come with my bloody Mary but I do want it to be extra spicy. A few of our local restaurants like Founders Restaurant + Young Cardinal use Marci’s Tears vodka that’s infused with ghost peppers. If you like the brunch beverage and can tolerate the heat, I highly recommend ordering one.
