Scope
30 specified main-and-coffee orders at 11 branches in 10 priority cities, selected for usable official menus. Ten operator groups; the two Two Hands branches share an operator. Supplement to the national 556-price panel, not an additional 30 unique national observations.

Collection
Official menu and government-source review on October 25, 2026. Archived collection timestamps can fall on October 26 UTC. Prices can change after checking.

Unit
One named main with its listed inclusions and one specified coffee choice per diner. Coffee is included only where the named main explicitly includes it. Sizes, dishes and coffee types differ; these are exact orders, not a standardized basket or city average.

Calculation
Integer cents; each modeled charge and aggregate tax rounded half up to the nearest cent. One selected order repeated for every diner. Restaurant per-item rounding or actual billing may differ. Optional tips, alcohol, substitutions, other purchases, delivery and unconfirmed charges are excluded.

Fees
Published rates and party thresholds are evidence; a percentage base is not assumed to be confirmed. A single taxable surcharge can be illustrated conditionally on the pre-tax food-and-drink subtotal. Multiple simultaneous charges, unknown gratuity tax treatment or an unresolved branch tax rate prevent a combined model. Removable charges have separate retained and removed scenarios.

Missingness
No charge disclosure is not evidence of no charges. No receipt or operator-confirmed final bill was collected. All model totals are conditional and actual final bills remain unverified. Unknown refill terms prevent a refill estimate; they never mean a free refill.

Geography
Dine-in branch addresses only. Chicago and Nashville special-district boundaries were checked against public address points and the effective 2026 official boundary descriptions or map. Miami restaurant levy eligibility is unresolved. Rates are scoped to this edition, not general advice for every transaction.

Comparability
Do not rank cities or describe national affordability, typical consumer spending, hidden-fee prevalence, inflation or price changes from this convenience sample. Package differences and shared operators matter. A one-time observation is not a time series.

Tracking
These exact branch, dish, portion, coffee and policy identifiers form the repeat-collection baseline. Future matched observations must retain source dates, changes in inclusion and explicit missingness. Renamed dishes and menu replacements are not automatically price increases.

Corrections
Top Brunch Spots is responsible for selection and calculations. Report a correction through the site contact page, identifying the branch, order, source and date. Public-source research only; no restaurant messages or consumer survey responses are part of these findings.
