Breakfast or Brunch.

We enjoy cycling or walking on non-busy Saturday mornings, and picking up a coffee and a fresh fruit at the store or market along the way. It's cheap, relaxing, and fun. Going out to eat once in awhile for breakfast is fun too, but I would not enjoy doing it often, I think. But we enjoy treating friends and taking them out to eat for brunch. Going out for coffee or tea with friends regularly, I could get into though. But it sounds like an expensive hobby. And we're all too busy usually for that kind of thing.

I'm sorry about your friends. Hope you can make a friend who enjoys early mornings and breakfasting and hanging out.

I always thought that brunch was breakfast for people who tend to be fashionable late to events. That and clever marketing by the restaurant industry to capture the attention of that market segment.

I had those days too when I was younger--break and lunch out. I live in New Jersey currently though and honestly people up here mostly keep to themselves. Getting people to go out as a group would be really challenging up here.

I don’t like talking to anyone early in the morning so I’ll always pick dinner

I have happy memories of brunch and late breakfast in restaurants with friends or family. It's a thing of the past now. Most of the places that served brunch or breakfast around here have gone out of business. Sunday brunch was a big deal back in the 90s and 2000s though.

I have been meeting a group of friends for breakfast on Saturday mornings for years. I agree with everything you say.

None of my friends were ever up that early lol.

Instead, we would eat 3 am dinners, after clubbing all night. 😎

Since we have kids, it’s mostly lunch 🐒

Brunch is basically a second breakfast

Mmmm breakfast,

When you had friends??? I can’t imagine you don’t now.

Since retirement, (and before the pandemic) I would have Sunday brunches. Usually about five other people, it was family and/or friends. My middle sister was the most frequent guest and one time she brought our mother (in the early days when Mom could still manage my stairs).
I prepared salmon croquettes, using our grandmother’s recipe. Mom’s praise for them made my year. 🥹

We used to do this. Then it would turn into a full on day of drinking 😶

Im going for brunch today, but with family, so I'll just have coffee

I love going out for breakfast. I am considering going out this morning.

Same. All aroundvI just enjoy going out for breakfast over any other meal. Alone, with friends, it even makes for a better date imho
