coffee first kind of morning

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.

This beloved ATL staple pours up the perfect morning start. Bonus: their thick-cut toast with butter and jam is low-key legendary.

Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall – Eastside Trail
This spot feels like a modern national park lodge—only with killer biscuits, fried chicken, and maybe a Bloody Mary (or two). Perfect for big groups and dog-friendly hangs.
Bread & Butterfly – Inman Park
French bistro magic. Croque madames, buttery quiches, and fresh-squeezed orange juice make this the ideal date-brunch.
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.

Carrot cake pancakes? Yes, please. This place takes your brunch classics and levels them all the way up.

Craft beer + weekend brunch = a win. But they also do a fantastic brunch menu with beer-battered dishes, biscuits, and breakfast skillets.

A blend of Spanish flavors with Southern flair—plus weekend brunch with bottomless mimosas.
