Think Venice California in the 70s. Amazing breakfast tacos, truly. We often go for mimosas and the chorizo and egg breakfast taco. Their toasts are tasty too. Set in an old Atlanta train depot right off a section of the Beltline that's currently being completed. Spring-Fall months the patio is peaceful and a lovely way to spend the morning.

One of the top restaurants in Atlanta. The food from Anne Quatrano is an experience you won't forget. If you can't get a reservation, sit at the bar. Pricey and worth every penny.

These doughnuts are the best doughnuts I've had, hands down. Based on the cronut, they're life-changing. You will swoon. Go, now. You can take them to go or eat them at one of the tables in the food hall in Ponce City Market.
