Brunch is definitely a vibe and if we're being honest with ourselves, it's clear that Black brunch experiences will never go out of style. Of course, there are many ways to do brunch all wrong. That mostly depends on who you are brunching and munching with, but it also depends on where. Brunch at larger franchise hotels can be overpriced, overcrowded, and sometimes underwhelming. Not to call out any hotel establishments, but sometimes folks are looking for a low-key and peaceful breakfast at the location they are lodging.
The good thing is there are plenty of beautiful Black bed & breakfast spots that get brunch right and the bonus is they get sleep accommodations right, too. The best Black bed & breakfast spots focus on warm and inviting stays that range from budget-friendly to luxe accommodations—and delicious brunch to excite your palate.
Here are five favorite bed & breakfast spots that BLACK ENTERPRISE dotes on.
