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

THE BEST PANCAKES EVER...

by faithfal at Citysearch

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.

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

go early to avoid the crowd (if that's possible)....

i live close and this place is ALWAYS busy. i wont go near it on a saturday or sunday unless i'm feeling patient. but the boyfriend and i went in on monday for lunch and got there right at noon. the place was already full, but we were seated within our 10 minute quote. our server was effective, but was very quiet and hardly made eye contact. i had a half and half, consisting of the mediterranean sandwich (roasted turkey, pesto, goat cheese, field greens and mealy sliced tomato--- its so hard to get a nice pretty ripe one this time of year!) and a cup of the white bean chicken chili (needed just a bit of salt, and some of the beans were a bit undercooked). the bf got the highland breakfast (2 eggs, a choice of meat, potatoes or grits, and toast). his eggs were cooked perfectly. we each got a mocha. everything for around $23 bucks. i wanted to get one of the delicious looking cupcakes, but i guess you have to leave something for next time! we will be back.

• Pros: who doesnt love breakfast??!!?!??!?
• Cons: can get very busy

I love going here on a Saturday afternoon! The cowboy benedict and mochas are wonderful! If you live in the neighborhood, you can even sit outside with your dog and have a great view of the Atlanta skyline.

Solid breakfast, lunch, and take away food

by olafatl at Citysearch

Weekend breakfast can be chaotic but that's part of the fun. The cheese grits are amazing, with or without shrimp. The monster cinnamon rolls are insanely good. For lunch I love the curried chicken salad. I've stopped by to pick up cupcakes, bagels, and bread on different occasions and all have been great. Can't wait to take out-of-town guests here!

• Pros: Good food across the board, friendly service
• Cons: Can get crowded

Great Breakfast

by lvillemom at Citysearch

Went there on a sunday morning....waited over an hour to be seated. The wait felt disorganized, originally told us would only be 45 minutes.

Ordered Shrimp and Grits, was ver y good, but could have been hotter. Everyone else at the table really loved their breakfast. Oh, and the Ricotta pancakes were outstanding! Waitress was very sweet, and service was good. They have a peanut butter french toast that looked OUTSTANDING, next time we are going to indulge.

Took some cupcakes home for the kids, and they went crazy!

• Pros: Delicious Food
• Cons: disorganized, long wait

Best. Grits. Ever.

by staz at Citysearch

Let me start of by saying that I don't like sweet potatoes.

They can't seem to decide whether they want to be a side dish or dessert. They're too sweet for a side dish and, in dessert, they somehow manage to be heavy without being rich.

In short, I don't like candied sweet potatoes, I don't like sweet potato casserole, I don't like sweet potato souffle, I don't like sweet potato pie.

With some cinnamon and brown sugar, I'm willing to eat a baked sweet potato but, even then, that's more for the beta carotene than for pleasure.

That said, I love the sweet potato pancakes at Highland Bakery. Generally, I find sweet potato dishes to be cloying and heavy, but the pancakes at Highland Bakery are fluffy but still substantial - these'll keep you full for a while - and cut the sweetness enough so that the flavor melds nicely with the syrup and pecans they're served with.

Until Highland Bakery, I also never understood the appeal of grits. They usually need something added to them such as cheese because they're so bland, bland, bland.

Highland Bakery grinds their grits on site and it makes a huge difference.

Their grits are so full of corn flavor that you don't need to add anything to get them down.

Also, Highland Bakery has the best iced tea I've had yet. It's not the usual iced tea that's either flavorless or overpoweringly strong.

• Pros: grits, sweet potato pancakes, iced tea
• Cons: parking

Have to try the grits!

by pinkyd40 at Citysearch

This is my first time to go on the other side of the city to have brunch but it was completely worth it! Our waitress was so helpful and nice. I ate the Ricotta blueberry pancakes with a side of grits and it was amazing! Cant wait to go back again for the grits!

• Pros: ambience
• Cons: parking

A real bohemian joint

by simmadown at Citysearch

I love the casual feel of the highland bakery. The breakfast is always good! They actually offer vegi sausage option with your eggs, YEH! Love the staff, they are always friendly and helpful. Haven't tried lunch yet. The baked goods I tried don't look to good, but they taste great! Will be back!

• Pros: breakfast, service, baked goods
• Cons: busy weekends
