Breakfast might be the most important meal of the day, and lunch and dinner are cool and all, but you've heard of brunch, right? Brunch has to be the best meal of the day.

Brunch is that wonderful middle ground between breakfast and lunch. Brunch allows you to sleep in a bit, eat a wonderful meal, and depending on how many carbs (and possibly mimosas) you have, you can go home and take a nice nap after and still have plenty of time left in your day.

If you like options, brunch is the perfect meal for you! Places that serve brunch usually have a good a good mix of savory and sweet options. And in my opinion, why not a little bit of both?

Here's a review from Nell N who left 5 stars on Google; "At a time when hospitality and customer service seem to be sharply declining across the country, the staff at Beggar's always excel. If I didn't love their brunch, which I do, I would choose to go there because of their exceptional service."

Best Breakfast Burritos in the Lansing Area

I feel that not only is breakfast "the most important meal of the day", it's also the best meal of the day. That's why there's such thing as brinner (breakfast for dinner) and diners/restaurants that offer breakfast items 24/7. The epitome of delicious and portable breakfast options is a breakfast burrito. If you want a hearty breakfast that's filling and perfect for on-the-go eating, a breakfast burrito is the way to go. We've put together a stuffed list, filled with the best breakfast burritos in the Lansing area, and here's what we've come up with. Check out the mouth-watering gallery below.
