Neisha H.April 19, 2014The sweet potato pancakes are awesome. So is the peanutbutter French toast, but it is very rich and decadent so eat it all if you don't care about counting calories
Winifred GordonMarch 8, 2018Where do I begin. The crab cakes Benedict was to die for, and the Ricotta pancakes just taste so good, let me not forget about the potatoes. The give you so much!
Julia ParkApril 18, 2015Fried chicken Benedict is a must have (with grits) PB french toast is great too altho a bit too sweet for my taste. Order a sweet potato biscuit (with brown sugar butter and fig jam ) for appetizer!
tiffanyDecember 29, 2014Shrimp and grits, peanut butter toast (should be shared or it is too much)! The cinnamon rolls are good...not to sweet, the type where you can eat everyday but needs more cinnamon.
Sweet Potato pancakes are great! Fried Chicken eggs Benedict fantastic. Local artist in display awesome... Just saying.
- The only place I carb out in Atlanta! Top items are the Peanut Butter French Toast, Sweet Potato Biscuits, Jalapeno Cheddar Foccicia Bread and the Fried Chicken Benedict. Uh-mazing!
Super friendly staff. The bakery has a lot of options including beautiful cakes. The food is amazing and they have an attentive staff. Wait time can be a little long in peak hours, but worth it.
Selene KeaveneyJanuary 15, 2017Sweet potato and ricotta cheese pancakes! The fish and grits were awesome! Fried chicken on a biscuit with cheese sauce. Baked goods were the best! Ask for the manager Adelana a wonderful person!
Paula MadeiraJune 18, 2017The country fried steak Benedict is awesome! The sandwiches are great too. A lot of food for a good price, I definitely recommend it!
Atlanta Eats TVJuly 17, 2013Serving up muffins, cookies, and all manner of beads, along with a full menu of breakfast, brunch, and lunch items, you can eat at home or spend a relaxing morning reading and eating inside the bakery Read more
Justin ReynoldsJuly 23, 2013Uh what can I say well for starters you have to get the fried chicken Benedict it's fireeee as fuck an dont forget OJ also fresh squeezed nothing beats it! An the front of the house has pastries..🍪🍰
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍October 29, 2015One of my favourite breakfast places in Atlanta. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious and big portion sizes. Menu suits lunches too and the coffee is just decent
Dean PorterApril 15, 2013If you want to be in a food coma for days, come here with one other person. One should order the fried chick Benedict, and your friend should get the chicken fried stean Benedict... then share! Yummy
Gary RobinsonJanuary 20, 2013This is a very nice bakery/cafe! Although I don't like trying a lot of new foods, my waiter convinced me to try the Ricotta Pancakes. I have to say, they were absolutely wonderful! Thanks Dominic!!!
John KraftApril 1, 2022I have gotten the curried chicken salad sandwich several times over the years & have been pleased. I was worried about the curry, but it’s not overwhelming & really pretty good.
Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013If giants were real and they had a sweet tooth, they'd gobble up the Peanut Butter French Toast faster than they could strike it off CL's 100 dishes bucket list Read more
JonElle L.June 28, 2012The balsamic dressing...yum. Small piece of cheesy focaccia bread...money. Shrimp with grits...creamy jalapeno cheese sauce? Holla! Order a side of bacon and crumble it in there? Thank me later.
Christine WuDecember 29, 2014The towering lemon cupcake is the best! Light, fluffy lemon goodness in a shell over moist cake. Yum.
Chris WrenAugust 6, 2014All of the breakfast choices are great. The peanut butter French toast is huge, and good, but you may not be able to finish all of it.- Love sitting outside when it's nice, alway order half orders of multiple things! Get to try a lot more of them menu that way.
Majed AlashariMarch 8, 2022Delicious peanut butter French toast. Average rustic Italian egg. The bread under the egg was overwhelmed with the vegetables that effect it taste. American is below average. Nice service.
Peter HsuSeptember 13, 2014The fried chicken benedict is solid. The shrimp and side of focassia bread in the shrimp and grits are both amazing, but I find the grits themselves boring.
StephanieJanuary 1, 2015Don't let them seat you near the door in the middle especially in the winter-- it's extremely cold w/ patrons & employees going in/out and w/ the high traffic area, people keep bumping your table.
Intown Expert, Jennifer Kjellgren & AssociatesJanuary 31, 2013Seriously, what's not to love? Amazing food, unpretentious environment, exposed brick interiors, PLUS a sidewalk café.
- Bethany EliasMay 12, 2015Peanut butter French toast...need I say more? Highland Bakery is delicious and so worth any wait time!
- Isaiah SteinfeldApril 19, 2011Great spot for breakfast/brunch, but also a great stop for breakfast on the go. They have breakfast sandwiches, muffins, scones, & bagels. They also have great coffee/espresso drinks
Jennifer PriceNovember 5, 2010get any of their breakfast sandwiches on the jalapeno focaccia bread and dip in their jalapeno cheese sauce (on the side)....kind of amazing!They also have caper berries for those loving a good bage
Super sweet staff & absolutely delicious menu. Please try the Ricotta Blue Berry pancakes.
The granola is super fresh. Get it with berries and almond milk for a good start on your day!
Colleen S.May 9, 2014Peanut butter French toast and fried chicken Benedict are two of the most delicious things I've ever put in my mouth!
Heather VelezMarch 24, 2013Pastries that are delicious (and rich) and perfect for sharing. Try the chocolate pecan scone and/or sweet potato biscuit!
ROC House Women's Fitness SpaJuly 18, 2013Everyone should try the Peanut Butter French Toast at least once. A dangerously large serving! Be sure to hit the gym afterward.
Ashlee LindoOctober 8, 2012Really busy on Sunday around brunch. The food makes up for it! Everything was fresh and generous sized portions. Definitely will be back!
@taji_fit CosbyAugust 12, 2016The sweet potato pancakes a tofu scramble are amazing. My daughter loves the shrimp and grits
Stacy EdwardsApril 13, 2014The sweet potato pancakes are so good. One of America's Next Top Model season13, works here. True natural beauty.
MissCJanuary 1, 2013The Sweet Potato pancakes are a MUST have every time. Be sure to get an order - you will not regret it! Yum!
Trey MosleySeptember 3, 2014BLT is awesome, but quite a handful. Def don't second guess the Country Fried Steak Benedict, pretty incredible!!
Caroline BowlesAugust 9, 2013Some damn good coffee and cinnamon rolls :). Their mini sweet potato biscuits are delicious too :) loved it
Jesse FennellApril 14, 2013The wait on a Sunday morning is crazy, people every where, 15 min wait on coffee. 45 min wait on a table.....wow hope it's worth it.....
Nauman NoorNovember 1, 2013Huge portions of goodness - try the french toast with eggs on the side. Service is fast and great.
AtlantaJuly 29, 2013In addition to quenching any sweet tooth, many of their cakes look like they could be displays at the High.- EaterMay 15, 2012A truly great brunch experience. You must try the Peanut Butter French Toast. [Eater 38 Member]
Try an iced mocha, it's phenomenal. I love this place. The food is tasty and inventive; the staff is fun and helpful. What more can you ask for?!
Cassi DinnewethApril 19, 2013The chocolate cream tart is my fav thing in the case....oreo cookie crust filled with choc cream, topped with whipped cream and more oreo cookie crumbs! Try it!
Maud EeuwenJuly 8, 2012Fried chicken egg Benedict with cheese grits on the site, sweet potato pancakes, and pick up a jalapeño focaccia bread on your way out.
Steven DenisonMarch 11, 2016The service was great and the atmosphere was inviting. I have heard so many rave reviews about this place and I just had to try it. Its OK
Rory GaganMarch 13, 2012The Pimento Cheese sammich is my favorite here. They also have the special small cubed ice which is delicious with a Coke.
Steven SanghaJune 9, 2012The peanut butter French toast is delicious. Insanely sweet though. You may walk out with diabetes.
