coffee first kind of morning
PERC Coffee – Eastside Beltline
Bold coffee, funky vibes, and pastries that slap. Try the brown sugar cold brew or a seasonal latte and snag a seat at their colorful walk-up window.
Muchacho – Reynoldstown
Coffee with a side of retro charm. Known for strong espresso, creative toast combos (hello, smoked salmon + dill cream cheese), and major Palm Springs energy.
Spiller Park Coffee – Ponce City Market
This beloved ATL staple pours up the perfect morning start. Bonus: their thick-cut toast with butter and jam is low-key legendary.
Daily Dose – Old Fourth Ward (NEW)
The girlies have discovered this one, matcha, lavender oat lattes, fresh pastries, and a super aesthetic interior. A brunch-fit backdrop if we’ve ever seen one.
classic brunch vibes
For when you want eggs, biscuits, and vibes that feel like a warm hug.
Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall – Eastside Trail
Your go-to for big groups, dog hangs, and campfire-themed brunch spreads. Biscuits + fried chicken + a Bloody Mary tower? Say less.
Bread & Butterfly – Inman Park
Paris, but make it BeltLine. Flaky pastries, croque madame excellence, and sunlight pouring in through those pretty windows. Date-brunch heaven.
The Flying Biscuit – Candler Park / Midtown
If it’s your first ATL brunch, you’ve got to try the creamy dreamy grits and fluffy biscuits with cranberry apple butter. Trust.
El Ponce – Poncey-Highland (NEW)
Not traditional brunch, but their migas, chilaquiles, and micheladas hit so hard after a morning BeltLine walk.
something funky & unexpected
Home grown GA – Memorial Drive
A quirky, Southern-meets-vintage spot that locals love. Order the comfy chicken biscuit and take in the eclectic décor while you wait.
Java Jive – Virginia-Highland/Poncey-Highland
Retro diner meets comfort food bliss. The waffles and breakfast sandwiches are worth rolling out of bed for.
Highland Bakery – Old Fourth Ward
Carrot cake pancakes. We repeat: CARROT. CAKE. PANCAKES. Also a great stop for smoothies + pastries before a long walk.
Rina – Eastside Trail (NEW-ish)
Israeli street-food–inspired brunch! Think crispy schnitzel sandwiches, bourekas, shakshuka, and cotton-candy-topped drinks. It’s brunch but ✨fun✨.
Mimosa Musts
Biggerstaff Brewing Co. – Edgewood Ave
Craft beer + weekend brunch = a win. But they also do a fantastic brunch menu with beer-battered dishes, biscuits, and breakfast skillets.
Buena Vida Tapas Bar
Spanish brunch plates + bottomless mimosas + a sunny vibe that feels like you escaped to Barcelona for the morning.
New Realm Brewing – Eastside Trail
An iconic BeltLine brunch move. Skyline views, giant pretzels, breakfast bowls, beer flights, and a rooftop that always hits.
