These days I'm lovin' Omaha more and more. So I figured, why not highlight this special city on my blog? Here are four of my favorite brunch places to try! Think tater tots smothered in cheese sauce, golden baked breakfast potatoes, and elevated biscuits and gravy....

I was introduced to Early Bird during the start of my Bachelorette weekend. My sweet friend E. Beth recommended we stop to eat there and it was absolutely delicious. The service is friendly, the menu is fun, and when you look around, no one is having a bad time!

One of my favorite things to order are their Breakfast Nachos. They're tater tots covered in cheese, bacon, salsa, eggs, and avocado crema! Truly a meal that revives you. Plus, the plate is huge, so you can the other half later for dinner. They have locations in Lincoln and Omaha, so it's pretty convenient to find one close to you!

I recently found out there are three Le Peeps in Omaha. The one we visited was in Pepperwood Village. Why is it worth your time? The food is phenomenal. I gotta say, Le Peep holds the title for my favorite biscuits and gravy to this day.

The service was awesome and it'd definitely be a great spot to visit after church. I did feel a little under dressed - so throw a cute top on before you head to this one! A fun little place too if you'd like to get brunch with your girlfriends. 
​

My question is, how could you drive down Maple and not stop here? Joe's is a quirky little diner with run-of-the-mill breakfast food. Why is it worth your time? The people and the ambiance. Our waitress was very kind and we never had an empty coffee cup.

It was obvious this place was crowded with regulars and employees that have been working here for years! It's a wonderful place to sit and soak in conversations with friends or with the booth across the way.
​

Bailey's Breakfast & Lunch is a precious gem of a spot nestled close to 120th and Pacific. I used to live in an apartment a couple blocks from this place, so it was always our go-to when my family came to town!

You can't go wrong with anything on this menu. I really enjoy their breakfast burritos and their Bailey's Club! I'd recommend doing an early breakfast here or a late lunch. This place can get packed fast, so plan you trip if you can! 

Omaha is HUGE, so I know I'll be expanding this list soon! These little places warm my heart. Try them out. Also, s/o to my friend, E.Beth, who went on most of these brunch trips with me!

She has the coolest photography website in the world. Check her out here. :)

1. Polaroid
Polaroid print outs are almost cool enough on their own. Can you imagine throwing up a photo against a snowy mountain for a background? Insta gold.

2. Knitted Socks
​I can't give you any other explanation other than the fact that one day you might be super sweaty in the Garden of the Gods, and then find yourself freezing in a few towns over. With this in mind, I'm packing knitted socks for my next trip. 

3. Baseball Cap or Snapback
Who has time to shower when you want to see as much as you can?! Packing your fav hat can save you a bucket of time when it comes to getting ready. Plus, hats are artsy and keep those dang baby hairs out of your face.

4. Drug Rug
Don't roll your eyes! You can't tell me you've never envisioned yourself hiking up a mountain with this comfy attire on. 

5. Journal
I feel like I remember things at the worst times. If I'm hiking up a mountain, and remember I didn't reschedule a coffee date with Cynthia, I'm gonna wanna write it down. Yes, using your phone is so much easier. But, wouldn't it be cool to jot down some mini revelations and be able to hang it on your mirror? I don't know, "What I learned in the Mountains" has a nice ring to it, but I'm also pretty lame.
