Story Hill BKC
For the past two years, the title of Brew City's best brunch has stayed the same, with Benelux taking the crown while Story Hill BKC and Honeypie take second and third on the podium, respectively. But for 2017, brunch went bananas, and for the first time in years, we've got a new brunch to beat.
After years of silver medals, step right on up to the winner's circle, Story Hill BKC, which beat perennial bronze medalist Honeypie by almost 100 votes.

Harbor House then took the bronze medal this year, while Wolf Peach wraps up the top five.
Runner’s up:
2. Honeypie
3. Harbor House
4. Cafe Benelux
5. Wolf Peach
