If you’re looking for the top local spots for breakfast in Northeast Atlanta, we’ve got you covered. From Buford to Sugar Hill, our team has researched and compiled our top recommendations for breakfast eats that you won’t want to miss!
Read on for our full list of breakfast recommendations in NE ATL.
1. Sun in My Belly
Sun in My Belly should be the place you think of when you’re in the mood for high-quality, light, and absolutely delicious breakfast options. This favorite hidden gem offers plenty of vegetarian options for those with more sensitive palates and also offers plenty of fresh, healthy-modern takes on your breakfast favorites.
Our top picks? We recommend the aioli-topped Croque Monsieur, piled high with freshly sliced ham and a rich bechamel cream sauce, or the southern Cuban Sandwich–a traditional Cuban with pickled jalapenos and spicy Dijon mustard on top.
They also offer a wide range of drinks to sip on, including delectable drip coffees, cold brews, and teas. Coffee lovers will appreciate the wide range of seasonal flavors to add for just .50 and the oat and almond milk alternatives for those with alternative preferences.
2. Buttermilk Kitchen
Buttermilk Kitchen is all about sharing, savoring, and community. Their plates are made to order and perfect for a small crowd or a larger family gathering. One of the best parts about this community favorite is their commitment to inclusive dining. You’ll experience this firsthand with their selection of gluten-free options and breakfast favorites.
Our favorite things (besides every selection on the menu!) include the breakfast hash bowl, the short stack (because weekends demand fresh and hot buttermilk pancakes, of course!), and the gluten-free banana bread loaf with hashbrown fritters.
3. Highland Bakery
When you think “weekend,” do you think “fresh-baked treats?” ‘Cause if so, Highland Bakery is the place to be this weekend (and every morning, if you ask us!) The spot has a wide variety of freshly-baked croissants, biscuits, and fresh-fried sugar donuts–as well as a full spread ranging from country essentials (such as shrimp n’ grits) to BYO breakfast sandwiches.
You really can’t go wrong with a trip to Highland Bakery! Feeling lunch instead of breakfast? Indulge in any one of their loaded sandwich options or delicious fresh salads, offering nothing but the finest fresh and locally sourced ingredients.
4. Corner Cafe
Corner Cafe has been hailed as the best breakfast spot in ATL, and with good reason. This upscale breakfast spot in NE ATL offers full-scale breakfast options, including specialty omelets, homemade sausages, and delicious morning-of pastries that are still warm from the oven. Our favorites include the vegan croissants, freshly-made bagels piled high with cream cheese & preserves, and the cinnamon rolls–topped entirely with warm, oozing frosting that’s just the right amount of rich.
The drink menu is just as extensive, offering custom-made teas and delicious alcohol starters. Corner Cafe has some of the best breakfast mimosas in town, as well as breakfast smoothies that you can pack with an extra protein or energy boost.
Sip & savor the weekend away at the Corner Cafe!
