Mother’s Day 2020 will be unlike any in history. While you might not be able to take Mom out for brunch and mimosas, there are still some food-centric ways to celebrate. Here are a few ideas for making her feel extra-special, all day long.

Early Morning

Fuel up at Founders Coffee, where they’re giving out flowers at the drive-thru. Order the Ice Cream Latte, May’s featured drink and part of Founders’ year-long “Giving Drink” initiative. This month, a dollar from every drink special goes to the Shade Tree, which provides assistance and shelter to more than 1,800 women and children in crisis every year. 6410 S. Durango Drive #100, 702-916-4442, founderscoffeeco.com.

Breakfast

Show your love and appreciation with a box of special-occasion doughnuts from Pinkbox Doughnuts, including Mom (pink, chocolate-drizzled raised doughnut spelling out “Mom”); Love for Mom (pink-frosted raised shell heart, with the word “love” piped on top; and Kisses for Mom (white-frosted raised ring doughnut topped with pink frosting and “XO” gummies). Multiple locations, pinkboxdoughnuts.com.

Brunch

Marché Bacchus French Bistro & Wine Shop is offering a three-course to-go menu that includes a choice of entrées including an egg strata, red wine braised beef with white truffle grits or pasta jambalaya. All entrées include a side of maple cheddar and duck confit cornbread and white chocolate mousse for dessert. $85, serves two. 2620 Regatta Drive #106, 702-804-8008, marchebacchus.com.

All choices include Grandma Rosie’s Turkey Meatballs, a Mediterranean salad and strawberry shortcake. 1031 S. Rampart Blvd., 702-445-6100, honeysalt.com.

For those who prefer the semi-DIY route, North Italia has a family kit that you put together.
