How we picked best brunch cafes in North Richmond

Brunch on the menu and weekend trade were the two tests a cafe had to pass. The rest of the order follows overall standing, with extra weight for cafes that have more feedback, adjusted for the brunch dishes diners mention. Late weekend hours count in a cafe's favour. Dish suggestions come from what diners have said about them, so the order favours the plates visitors would name first.
