Mother’s Day was last weekend, which for a lot of people in Boston meant a chance to go out for a nice Mother’s Day brunch — even those who waited until the last minute to make a reservation. But which Boston-area brunch spots were the most popular on the big day?

Thanks to data from check-in app Swarm, we were able to find out which brunch places people checked into the most from Wednesday, May 4 to Tuesday, May 10.

For those unfamiliar, Swarm is an app from Foursquare that lets users check in when they visit locations like restaurants, bars, and parks. The app also makes every day a game with perks like coins and mayorships, and lets users keep track of streaks and places they’ve been with an updated profile tab.
