Rosebud in Davis Square is another fabulous place to grab brunch. This modern diner is great for groups and makes killer bloody marys. This is a great place to meet people that are driving into the city since it is easier to park in Davis Square than in many other neighborhoods. Rosebud has two rooms and the front room is filled with lots of natural light, which will add a lovely element of spring to your brunch. Not a huge brunch fan? Order something from the lunch menu instead.

Harvard Gardens in Beacon Hill is conveniently located near the Charles MGH stop on the MBTA red line and is the perfect spot to have brunch on an Easter Sunday of shopping and exploring Beacon Hill. Harvard Gardens isn't as busy as the other venues on this list, so it is great for those planning last minute. It's also a quick walk from Old South Church and many other churches offering Easter services. Definitely try the red velvet pancakes for a special holiday treat.
