I went just to try the baked goods. I bought a brownie, cupcake, lemon bar and cheesecake. The brownie was dry and overcooked. The cupcake had no flavor. the lemon bar crust was doughy and the powder sugar had a chemical taste to it. The cheesecake was ok but nothing to rave about. The person who helped me seemed to be bothered that she had to work. I do not recommend going back and I will not be bothering to try it again.
- Pros: nothing was good
- Cons: desserts and the service
Poor overall quality, getting a bit old...

I used to be a fan of this neighborhood cafe, but the quality has been letting me down lately...
Chipped plates, poorly presented food, overcooked & cold eggs... and less than happy wait staff.
It's time for me to find a new brunch place.
Ignore the comments of the perpetually bitter

What can i say about Highland Bakery other than the food is AMAZING! The service is spotty at best (but hello this is Atlanta) - they are as good as anywhere else. The food is AMAZING!!!! I am about the pickiest person in the whole damn world but you wont find a better breakfast this cheap (if you think this is overpriced head on over to the Buckhead Diner or its Sister Brunch Establishment across the street) anywhere ITP or OTP.
I think the people who left nasty comments must have had someone urinate in their cereal because I have been to the Highland Bakery many many times (almost every Sunday) and have never ever had a meal less than amazing. The Jalape?o Focaccia Bread is to DIE FOR! Ignore the bitter and go let your tastebuds have a PARTY!!!
- Pros: The Food is AMAZING and Consistent
- Cons: You will wait on the weekend!
Awesome Cupcakes!!!

Really, really great breakfast food here. The prices are a little more expensive than other places in the area, but you get tons of food. Everything I have had so far is really tasty. Great french toast!
- Pros: Great breakfast menu
- Cons: Little bit pricey
too pricey!!

I've been a frequent to HB for more than two years except for the last couple of months. Today I revisited after the long break but I am reluctant to continue going more! It is EXTREMELY overpriced!! Much more expensive many other places with food as good as theirs. The service seems like it got worse -was never great but tolarable. Not sure it is worth it anymore...
THE BEST PANCAKES EVER...

I am one of the bakeries #1 fans. I actually used to eat there 3 to 4 times a week. The customer service is great. The staff is very friendly and social. They make the dining experience very comfortable. They have the best sweet potato pancakes in the world. I mean they just absolutely melt in your mouth. I recommend this place to everybody. The location is great, quiet, and cozy. The prices are reasonable and they move quick.
Consistently just-o.k.

I had to write because I was just sooo disappointed with this last visit. I've been taking a break from going to HB because of the spotty service ranging from really friendly one time, surly the next, and almost always lacking in attention to detail like picking up all the little sugar and butter and jelly packages from the table from time to time, or wiping the always-leaking cream from the poorly designed dispensers from time to time. Counter service is no better. Today I paid 9.95 for a Breakfast Burrito - this is what I got: bland scrambled eggs with corn (!?) wrapped in cold flour tortillas on top of watery unseasoned black beans topped with some rather strange tasting "Latin" sauce and cold/unmelted cheese on top. It was a little better after I drenched it in Tabasco. I ordered a mini blueberry muffin and it was hard and stale. The counter service was very friendly today, (although the table servers repeatedly bumped into my chair on their way back and forth, and not one ever said "excuse me" I finally adjusted my chair), but the guy next to me had so many wrappers and sugar and napkins and stuff around him that no one would pick up that it even made me uncomfortable. He kept trying to gather it all up, and I felt like reaching over and cleaning up for him because they just kept serving his coffee over all the mess. There was a person who seemed to be the manager who walked over and surveyed the messy counter, but then walked away without cleaning up or getting someone else to.
If it were just this one time I'd let it slide, but HB consistently serves mediocre food, and gives unprofessional service, at a little higher than average price. Love the romantic, funky ambience, but with all the other good intown breakfast places, I'm gonna have to take a permanent pass on Highland Bakery.
- Pros: Ambience
- Cons: Mediocre food, poor service

Highland Bakery has the best breakfast in town! The wait can be a little long sometimes but it's worth it. The coffee is also excellent too. It's my top brunch place!

My hubbie and I have been eating breakfast and occasionally lunch at the HIghland Bakery for about four years. We keep coming back for more--it's our favorite breakfast/brunch spot in the city. I've tried almost everything on the menu and it's all delicious!! The servers are great, too.
- Pros: easy parking
Good food, BAD attitude.

First, I should say that the food was excellent. This is the best place in Atlanta to find fresh salmon with an everything bagel. However, the hostess is AMAZINGLY RUDE. (Yeah, I had to capitalize that one)
We arrived at 11am on a Sunday with most of the outside tables empty, so we sat down at one of them. A minute later, the hostess came out with a major bark saying that others were waiting for tables and we just couldn't "do what we just did." So we got up. No problem! With more than three empty tables outside, we didn't think they were very busy. Bad call on our part.
Then she stopped us and said it was okay because the people waiting were waiting for a table inside. We were free to stay seated and she would get us a waiter. HUH!?
So why would she cause such a commotion if the tables were actually free? Who knows, maybe she was having a bad day. But we thought it was a really rude way to start a meal. We started to leave anyway and go elsewhere, but one person with us insisted that the food was worth it. Fortunately, the rude woman was just the hostess and not our waiter. We never saw her again, which was a good thing.
- Pros: Great fresh salmon
- Cons: HORRIBLE attitude from the hostess
super busy weekends

Delicious. I have been on the look out for a really good Benedict dish... Their crabcake benedict is awesome. The eggs were a bit over cooked and the crabcake had a little bit too much mustard. But no body is perfect, right? This place is really good. Haven't tried their baked goods yet....Coffee is a little weak, but I like it super strong.
Went on a Sunday at 1pm and waited for about 30 to 45 minutes for a table, but well worth it.
- Pros: good breakfast
- Cons: waiting
