Where to Find the Best Brunch Spots in Atlanta
Buttermilk Kitchen
Address: 4225 Roswell Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30342
Neighborhood: Buckhead
Cost: $$
Overview: Entering the door of Buttermilk Kitchen feels like walking into a neighbor’s home, with its quaint interior and delectable scents of freshly baked biscuits wafting in from the kitchen. Needless to say, it feels cozy and inviting. You know the neighbor who always has the best breakfast on deck? In this case, it’s a restaurant, and it’s there for you whenever you crave a hefty home cooked meal. From savory dishes to sweet treats, Buttermilk Kitchen charms visitors in the ever-bustling Buckhead.
What to Eat: Dare we say anything on the menu with pimento? More specifically, the pimento omelet, which is heaven on a plate stuffed with pimento cheese and house red pepper jelly — a true delight.
Ria’s Bluebird
Address: 421 Memorial Dr SE, Atlanta, GA 30312
Neighborhood: Grant Park
Cost: $
Overview: In a consistently and rapidly changing city, Ria’s Bluebird has been a constant on Memorial for 20+ years. Ria Pell opened the restaurant in 2000, and after her passing in 2013, it moved into the hands of Julie Pender. Luckily, Ria’s Bluebird is in great hands with Julie, who pays homage to Ria by upholding her fundamentals — or what she calls, “Ria’s Rules.”
What to Eat: Grab the pancakes! And, if you’re lucky enough to swing by during peach season, indulge in the seasonal peach pancake special.
Julianna’s Crepes
Address: 775 Lake Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30307
Neighborhood: Inman Park
Cost: $
Overview: With its exterior draped in greenery and recognizable red paint, Julianna’s serves as one of the most delightful, must-visit spots in the city. Although the menu contains only crepes, it’s certainly not limited in flavor or variety. Pro tip: bring a friend and grab both sweet and savory crepes to share.
What to Eat: The Royale, with its smoked gouda and house-made spicy peach apricot chutney, is a must. Grab the Guau if you’re craving something on the sweeter side. The guava paste with cream cheese combo is a dream.
Little Tart
Address: 437 Memorial Dr SE, Atlanta, GA 30312
Neighborhood: Grant Park
Cost: $
Overview: Little Tart, a classic Atlanta bakery, is home to some of the most delicious baked goods in town. And, they serve up a stellar casual brunch on the weekends. In its longstanding spot in Grant Park, the Little Tart team whips up a lean menu of brunch dishes alongside their classic sweet and savory pastries. If you’re looking for a casual spot to catch up with friends, or show off an Atlanta favorite to guests, nestle up to a table here and enjoy a cup of coffee.
What to Eat: The almond croissant is a MUST. Grab the waffles and a cocktail too.
Atrium
Address: 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, #158 Atlanta, GA 30308
Neighborhood: Old Fourth Ward
