Brunch in Boston’s Back Bay is pretty close to perfect on those early days of summer before the sun and humidity creep into town. That's because Back Bay brunch, at its best, is served on some breezy patio where the mimosas flow.
Nothing can beat the epic amount of patio space at Stephanie's on Newbury, which offers a special brunch cocktail menu. For more outdoor seating, and some lemon ricotta French toast, check out Trident Booksellers & Café. Those who want Bloody Mary’s galore are advised to visit The Pour House, while brunchers who covet a blood orange mimosa visit Sonsie.
For late-morning diners looking to imbibe with class on an outdoor patio while people-watching the day away, Back Bay brunch is an excellent option.
