I find it special that beyond the city skyline and Southern hospitality, Atlanta’s breakfast and brunch scene serves soul food with a modern twist. After 25 years as a travel writer, I still get excited about the way this city wakes up. You’ll love starting your morning with peach-filled pastries and flaky, buttery biscuits—I know I do. I’ve sipped coffee on buzzing patios where every bite tastes like home, and I think you’ll feel that warmth too. For me, there’s nothing like a day that begins with crispy chicken and waffles and ends with sweet tea and skyline views. Trust me, you’re going to want to linger a little longer here.
