Best Church Brunch

St. Julia's Catholic Church

The brunch at St. Julia's is homemade in every aspect of the word. Breakfast is served by hustling volunteers carrying dented baking sheets stacked with handmade tortillas, empanadas, and sweet rolls, breakfast tacos, huevos, and menudo. Though the beige plastic plates, matching coffee cups, and metal folding chairs have probably been in service since the church opened in 1957, they add a coziness to the communal atmosphere created by scampering kids and hundreds of friends enjoying one anothers' company. Open to the public, Sundays, 8:30 am-1pm.
